It has been said that Protestants lack imagination, and that this is why they have a hard time with the Sacraments. In this discussion of preaching the Gospel, Todd and Scott discuss the role that the imagination plays in preaching, and especially how preaching the reality of God’s love for His people draws the hearer in with the mind and the heart. Oh, and they talk about the Pope again.
