CHAPTER

Can Bad Preachers Get Better?

Mark O'Mara: Can bad preachers get better? Yes. How? Becoming less self-conscious, less arrogant, less silly in their gestures. He says his theology was revolutionary when he was 22 years old and turned him upside down because it became God-centered. That's hard to be self-exulting and self-centered if you're not good at a bunch of things; I didn't stay in academia because I'm not good. So I say you can improve, find the thing that you're more or less natively equipped to do and give everything to make that as good as you can make it.
