Preaching through Vicarious Conversation

I have this idea for alternative to the talking-head style of sermons: two people having a conversation about a passage of Scripture. One has to be knowledgeable about the text. This would normally be the preaching pastor. The other person acts as the congregation’s representative, making clarifications and asking follow-up questions.

It’d probably be most effective as an interview style as opposed to a debate. I can see that making people uncomfortable and unsettled.

What do you think?
