Pastors need to know the Gospel, so in addition to proclaiming it, we live it wholeheartedly and consistently.
Zack Eswine:
Pastors need to know this, first, because our whole life is offering the message of God’s grace, and finding a way to articulate it; finding a way to offer it. And we not only offer it with our words, but also in the way we embody a day, from the neighbors we interact with to the way we give ourselves to people, even our enemies. So we need to know the message so we can live it and speak it and communicate it.
