Here’s what you should know
about Joe today.
To the Dr. Scott oldtimers, Joe isn't him. Deal with it.
But, you will find a certain familiar-ness with his teaching
approach. You will absolutely recognize an echo of Doc in
Joe's on-air personality. Naturally.
I can guarantee chuckles when you see and hear them!
To the newbie,
For some, Joe’s speaking style may be off putting at first.
Let me get you over that learning curve immediately.
Teaching Christianity in today’s world (and for many years
ramping up to it), has become a circus of entertainers,
flashy sets, slick dressed, and practiced deliveries of
snake oil salesmen.
Mega churches, huge productions, “Jesus Junk” merchandising,
arousing musical services, and prosperity fueled “What can
God do for you” sermons. This is what you’re used to, and
have been conditioned to accept as credible.
This is not what you’ll get from Joe.
Joe Cortes is a Biblical Scholar. He reads and writes Hebrew
and Greek. He teaches like a college professor. There’s no
fancy studio, no studio audience, no studio band, no Jesus
Junk merchandise, and no nonsense.
He comes across sometimes as angry. He’s not angry, he’s
fervent for the word of God.
That means he feels responsible
before God for what he’s preaching. And that’s a heavy yoke
to bear.
And that makes Joe MY kind of preacher.
