- The African American Preaching Legacy Series hosted by Dr. Frank A. Thomas presents "A Conversation with Dr. Frank A. Thomas hosted by Dr. Gina M. Stewart." Thomas shares his reflections on preaching, including his preaching style, vision and leadership of the PhD Program in African American Preaching and Sacred Rhetoric, the moment God used him the most, his most difficult preaching experience, and so much more wisdom and all things preaching.
What a blessing to hear Dr. Thomas speak about his own preaching. I took Dr. Thomas's course "Preaching as Celebration" in the DMin in Preaching program in Chicago, and it changed my preaching and my life. And now I am seeing I have so much more to learn now.
35:35 “They knew who you were when they invited you. Be you.” - Dr. Charles Edward Booth (Dec.)
WOW, Dr. Thomas . . . I so needed that today! I have watch this interview at least 12 times and have missed those words but the Holy Spirit knew I needed them right now. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Dr. Thomas, this was needed.
Dr. Stewart is so pretty..
Pastor Frank I new it was something about your teaching that was very profound to me...YOU WERE LUTHERAN! Those are my roots. Calvary Lutheran Church- Memphis,TN was where my foundation was established. 😎
My favorite sermon Dr. Thomas is “You Never Know What Will Be Required of You.” It really blessed my life!
It’s amazing
EXCELLENT CONVERSATION BY TWO OF MY FAVORITE PREACHERS
I could sense you was Lutheran Rev. Thomas, you much too calm and collected.
I felt...See my Change!!! I will definitely be watching that today!!
Encouraged by this. Thank God for it 2 years later. I needed this in 2022
I have missed Pastor Frank's voice since Mississippi Boulevard. I was not a member, but I visited often. The depth of the sermons and the spiritual layering and unlayering were just what I needed. When I just heard the term "contemplative preaching," I thought, "That's it!" Thank you for contributing your gifts toward the diversity of the African American preaching. Bless you in your journey now.

This series is blessing me. How beautiful to see the teacher be there student; the interviewer become the interviewee. Thank you Dr. Thomas!
I have been so blessed by the lives and ministries of both of these great people. Principles for life.
Love y'all!
Thank you for this interview.
For the True Worshippers of God, there is no Rev Dr. titles in scripture nor in the era of the church. Jesus had no academic / scholastic background. Now many who affirm they are pastors excercise more wisdom than Jesus. The Holy Spirit is the guide for believers not academia. No Baptist Church in scripture. There is one true church per Jesus to Peter. That church came into fruition in Acts.
What you said sounds good but it's not biblical. Eph. 4:11. Read that. It should help you to understand.

John 13:16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord;
Ephesians 4:11 lays out the varied callings of God's servants. Keep in mind the Apostles had oversight over the local church Elders / Bishops. Bishops did not have oversight or control over any other pastor or gatherings.
Jesus called out men to be Disciples / Apostles not theologians.
Psalms 111:9 "He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name"
No hu(man) has the title of Reverend in scripture but God. Eminence, Arch Bishop, Rev. Dr. are all ungodly titles because scripture says God will not give his glory to another and those titles reflect pride. Isaiah 42:8
"I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images."
1Corinthians1:26
For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. Why? Because man would pervert scripture for his own glory.

Many of the false / in error churches of this day ( only one true church ) request candidates for pastor present academic degrees, credit reports, ordination and license, etc. No post church ( Acts ) ordinances support such. Man looks on the outward appearance. Giving a pastor a salary or offering to reach a sermon is ungodly. Matthew 10:8. The word of God has no charge. Pastor's salary is to be based of his care for the members of the Body of Christ.
Isaiah 56:11 "Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter."
No scripture where Apostle Paul ( a learned man pre conversion ) asked, requested or accepted money for himself expositing the gospel.
@@melvinjackson2397
One Lord, (Jesus ), One Faith ( onJesus ), and one Baptism ( in Jesus name ). No scripture tells men / women to be baptized in three titles, viz., Father, Son and Holy Ghost. No scripture shows anyone being baptized in those titles , Matthew 28:19.
Luke 24:47
"And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem".
The true " church" began at Jerusalem. Peter conveyed to Jesus " thou art the Christ the son of the living God. Peter's faith ( Apostolic) that Jesus was God's son sealed it. Hence, The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostles Faith.
God Bless
You said there were no titles in scriptures. As far as your other claim that they are smarter than jesus, you are the only one who feels that way. In no way do they give any notion that they are smarter than christ. Of course Jesus didn't have to go to seminary, He's Jesus. But the disciples studied under Jesus. Paul study under Gamlia. Joshua study under moses so forth and so on. If there were a degree program back in biblical times, they would have their dr. Degree.
