I agree wholeheartedly that we need to be discerning. I’m not so sure that I’d want to define the ‘sermon’ so rigorously. Lisa is obviously not a Bible teacher, and certainly not a scripture expositor, but I think she exercises her evident gift in helping people to see life from a Christian perspective. We often don’t recognize the implications of ‘words’ we hear and use, and I think she encouraged us to be aware of some of these. As a (sometimes) public speaker I particularly appreciated some of the techniques (humour, physical activity, interaction with fellow listeners) she used to keep her audience awake and engaged, despite my personal uncomfortability with some of these. She was certainly entertaining, but her themes were seriously relevant, authentic and deeply true. I think her message would have impacted many people and been transformative for them.Stuart T.
