A Call From Ron

Back when I was at Lake Gwelup Christian Church, I did a ‘story-sermon’ inspired by the way stories were done in Godly Play (but without props). It was surprisingly well received. Some people asked for transcripts (particularly for people who had English as a second language), and an older man named Ron told me it was one of the best sermons he had ever heard (and he had heard a lot of sermons).

Some years later, I was struggling with sermon prep and feeling a bit down about work at Dianella when I happened to get a call from Ron. He said that he’d been talking with some people about the first story-sermon I did. In his words it was the one ‘where I covered the whole history of the Jewish people’ or something like that. He was wondering where I was up to these days, so he decided to give me a call.

It seemed like a conspicuously encouraging reason for calling given how I was feeling at the time, (hence why I am recording it here).
