Eugene Peterson: What pastors have that Madison Ave. doesn't

The good folks over at www.workingpreacher.org have posted several new videos.  They're worth checking out.  Here's a wonderful one from Eugene Peterson on the advantages pastors have over all the other voices that compete for our people's attention.
