Digital Homiletics

Preaching & Worship

“This is the book the preaching community needs both now and in the future. Sunggu Yang continues to demonstrate that he understands the path that the Spirit is leading the church on. His concept of "the Word digitalized" is nothing short of groundbreaking and will become the ground on which future conversations about preaching and homiletics stand. Yang clearly loves the practice of preaching and those who engage in it. This volume, with its heavy focus on practical application, will well serve preachers who are discerning what preaching on the digital frontier looks, sounds, and feels like.”

Engaging the Gadfly

Preaching & Worship

“The digital age is here to stay! Our approaches to worship and preaching must adapt to the new tools and the new contexts that have emerged since 2020. This does not mean that traditional worship spaces are on the way out, nor does it mean that digital worship and preaching will continue functioning as an appendage. The Spirit is guiding the church in innovative and collaborative ways, if we will follow the Spirit’s lead. Casey Sigmon presents a prophetic call to follow the creative force being unleashed by the Spirit. While many of us have offered practical approaches for engaging in digital preaching and worship, Casey offers us what we have been lacking—the theological groundwork to build on. Her concept of ‘homilecclesiology’ is nothing short of pastoral genius, imagined by one who believes deeply in preaching and exudes creativity. I am blessed to call Casey a friend and believe firmly that this book will guide our conversations for years to come.”

Gaslighted by God

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“This is a difficult book to read, thus I can only imagine how difficult it was to write. The wounds still seep. The aches still sear. The cries still rattle. Such is the experience of many who sit upon the ash heap of disillusioned faith. Faith in God has been found wanting in the light of abusive infidelity enacted upon the vulnerable by religious leaders and a global pandemic that has been politicized by those desperately clinging to power. It is so easy to walk away from faith, from community, from God. Many have. Many more will. Yet this book is not about deconstruction, for that is only part of the process of crafting a faith that will survive—no, thrive—in times when hope is merely a flickering ember. This is about the hard process of reconstructing faith, of punching through the dark and screaming with all one’s might into the ether—praying, begging, for God to hear and come near. If this is you, I humbly invite you to read these words. My friend Tiffany has been where you are and has come through to the other side. In her, you will find a compassionate friend, a gentle guide, a kindred spirit.”

To Rebehold the Stars

Christian Living

“Faith reconstruction is not easy, but this book, written by a gentle yet courageous soul, carefully stokes the dying fire of hope through tender ministrations of soul care in order to lay the groundwork for re-formation. If you have experienced the sorrow that lingers during the night yet you desire the joy that comes with the morning, then I invite you to settle in and rebehold the stars.”
