Evangelicalism: An Interview with John Dickerson

Darrell Bock, host of The Table (podcast), a ministry of the Howard Hendricks Center for Cultural Engagement, recently interviewed John Dickerson, pastor of Cornerstone EFC in Prescott, AZ, and author of the recently published, The Great Evangelical Recession: 6 Factors That Will Crash the American Church . . . and How to Prepare.

This two-part interview was under the theme of “Fixing the Trouble with Evangelicalism.” Each interview is about 30 minutes in length.

Part 1: Learning from the Great Evangelical Recession

00:13: Dickerson’s journey from journalism to pastoral ministry

This is an excellent interview. I encourage you to take the time to listen to what John has to say.
