Summary: In this episode, Matt Woodley is joined by Jon Tyson, Lead Pastor at Church of the City in New York. Jon said he's dealing with “trauma at a personal and regional scale,” as a result of COVD-19. Part of the pastoring challenge is helping people navigate disorientation with Biblical hope. He’s shifted to a more pastoral tone in his preaching. “It’s basically the art of rejoicing with those who are rejoicing, and weeping with those are weeping, sometimes not even in the same sermon, but in the same point of the sermon.” Jon talks about his passion for revival in this episode, which he describes as a desire for more of God. Check out what was referenced on the podcast: • Leonard Ravenhill’s book Why Revival Tarries. Bethany House Publishers, 1959. • Louis Berkhof’s book Systematic Theology. Wm.B.
