We met Wade in Nashville at the Zoe Conference last fall. Really liked him. He\u2019s heading down to Austin TX now and this is what the good folks down there can look forward to<\/a>. You might think this is a top ten ways to know you\u2019ve heard a cutting-edge sermon\u2026<\/p>\n

The Top Ten Ways You Know You Just Heard a Wade Hodges Sermon<\/b><\/p>\n

1. At lunch, the topic of conversation centers around the question \u201cDid he really just say what I think he said?\u201d<\/p>\n

2. You\u2019re not quite sure yet, but you have either just been highly offended, or deeply challenged.<\/p>\n

3. You leave the service wrestling with unanswered questions \u2013 most
\nglaringly, \u201cWhere did he get those Chuck Taylor tennis shoes \u2013 and why?\u201d<\/p>\n

4. People are seen fleeing the auditorium with ears covered, screaming \u201cIt can\u2019t be, it can\u2019t be\u201d.<\/p>\n

5. When confronting your teenage son about leaving his dirty clothes
\non the bathroom floor, he argues that according to Wade\u2019s \u201cboth -and\u201d
\ntheology, your job as a mother is to both pick up his clothes, and to
\nwash them. He is immediately grounded for life.<\/p>\n

6. You contact the bulimia hot line to set up an intervention.<\/p>\n

7. Your grandmother comments, \u201cThat sermon on sin was really great \u2013 do you think he was for it or against it?\u201d<\/p>\n

8. You have had your toes stepped on, your brain stretched, your
\nsensibilities shaken, your presuppositions shattered, your doctrinal
\npositions contested, your traditional thinking challenged, and all that
\nyou hold dear called into question. But other than that, it was a good
\nmorning.<\/p>\n

9. You realize there might actually be democrats in heaven \u2013 they just have to sit with the Presbyterians.<\/p>\n

10. You have a sudden and unyielding urge to do homework.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
