Jared Wilson is a pastor and an award-winning writer whose articles, essays, and short stories have appeared in numerous publications. A minister for over a decade, Jared is known for his passionate, gospel-centered teaching and strong calls for missional Christianity.

We chatted about:

• Why Gospel-Centered Ministry was the next, right book for him

• How we are boring compared to Jesus

• Dangers that emerge when we try to add to or subtract from the gospel's place of prominence

• Reasons why expositional preaching should be the primary approach of a pastor's preaching style

• Why we should value sanctification over success

• Recognizing the difference in a critic and a wolf (and how to respond in the right way to both)

• Fasting from being needed (and why that's so hard for ministry leaders)
