Difficult Subjects- Evolution and Atheism

Training the Next Generation w/ Devin Swindle

We are excited to that our first guest on the Armchair Preachers Podcast is Devin Swindle.  Devin is the Pulpit/Lead minister of Highway church of Christ in Judsonia, AR, professor of Bible and Ministry at Harding University, director of The Kerusso Experience, director of The Center for Preaching at Harding University, co-director of the Harding University Lectureship, and (MOST IMPORTANTLY) the husband of Rachel and father of 6 boys.  We are excited to be able to discuss Kerusso, the importance of preacher training camps, and the future of ministry among the next generation in the church. We hope you will share this with your minister, elders, deacons, and anyone interested in ministry.
