I am sure alot of people do not agree with this article by David Allis. I have not had time to think thoroughly about what he wrote.
I do agree that from what I have seen (I have been in over 500 evangelical churches in the US and a handful in Europe), the vast majority of preaching is done TO an audience of Christians who have a negligble change in their life after sitting through hundreds of preaching events.
My personal experience is that I am much more likely to respond to God when I am in conversation with other Christians, than from hearing a lecture from the pulpit. (There have been times when a preaching lecture really did impact my life). I have also seen that there seems to be more impact from my time spent talking with people as compared to my preaching.
