    Episode 13: The Most Reverend & Right Honourable Stephen Cottrell -  Preaching is Simply a Long, Steady Walk with God

    The Archbishop of York walks into the conversation with stories that spark, stretch, and surprise. Stephen Cottrell opens up about the craft he loves - preaching that overflows, reveals, repeats, slows down, and dares to invite. He talks about childhood outside the church, the moment Scripture made him weep in the pulpit, the joy of feeding the soul with art and poetry, and the fierce hope that every sermon can draw someone closer to Christ. He wrestles with vulnerability, tells the truth about microphones, pace, and craft, and shows why story - raw, human, embodied - still cuts through the noise. He names the hunger in our churches, the longing in our culture, and the courage it takes to call people home. It’s vivid, warm, unexpected, and full of movement. A joyful, searching conversation with a preacher who believes the gospel is beautiful enough to change us - and generous enough to invite a response every time.

    Episode 12: Rev Jonathan Macy & Rev Phil Bryson - Preaching as a Living Conversation shaped by Trust, Courage and Faith

    What happens when the preachers who break open the gospel are the ones the world might overlook? In this episode of Preaching Well, two vicars - Jonathan Macy, who preaches with a stammer, and Phil Bryson, who lives and preaches with a visual impairment—show us how the good news runs through weakness, courage, and raw honesty. Jonathan speaks slowly because he must. Phil preaches without seeing a face in the room.And yet their sermons land with power. Their vulnerability opens doors. Their congregations come alive. Together, they talk about calling, resilience, joy, inclusion, and the surprising gifts released when the pulpit becomes a place for every voice and every body part—especially the ones the apostle Paul calls 'weaker,' 'different,' or 'indispensable'. It’s earthy. It’s brave. It’s full of hope.

    Episode 11: Rt Rev Sam Corley - Premise of Preaching: Craft, Content and Character

    What happens when a preacher discovers that God is already speaking - and the sermon is simply joining in? In this episode of Preaching Well, Bishop Sam Corley takes us from a tiny 8am communion in his early twenties to pulpits across the country, sharing the moment when preaching snapped into place, like riding a bike with the wind in his face. He talks about reading Scripture like a long, living story, hosting a congregation like guests at a table, and finding the courage to preach when his own words feel dry and nothing seems to land. Sam opens up about telling stories that touch the heart, asking questions that let silence work, letting God have the loudest voice in the room, and learning - slowly, painfully - to be himself in the pulpit. Warm, honest, grounded, full of joy and hard‑won wisdom.

    Episode 10: Rt Rev Guli Francis-Dehqani - Preaching the  rhythms & from the Margins

    A bishop shaped by exile, welcome, and the slow courage of untying life’s hardest knots steps. In this vivid, searching conversation, Bishop Guli Francis-Dehqani opens up about preaching that breathes - preaching rooted in honesty, tension, questions, and the kind of quiet conviction that still moves mountains. She speaks of fear in the church, the gift of asking better questions, the poetry of faith, and the strange holiness of wrestling with Scripture that both comforts and wounds. She talks about learning not to collapse under the weight of every knot in the rope, how to spot the ones that can be loosened, and how to make peace with the ones that won’t budge. Across the episode, she invites us into a posture of trust, resonance, authenticity, and brave tenderness. Not showmanship. Not clichés. Just the real work of preaching in a fearful world: do not be afraid. It’s warm, wise, surprising, and full of movement. A conversation for anyone who longs to preach - or live - with more depth, more honesty, and more courage.

    Episode 9: Hannah Steele - Preaching with Summons and being an Invitation to Jesus

    What if preaching is less about delivering answers and more about opening a door? In this episode of Preaching Well, Rev Dr Hannah Steele — theologian, missiologist, and everyday evangelism whisperer — invites us into a world where sermons feel like summons, stories become seeds, and the gospel grows where real life happens. Hannah talks about preaching as an invitation, evangelism as encounter, and mission as the gentle work of reframing what people think they already know. She moves through Scripture, cinema, culture, curiosity, and the quiet art of noticing — showing how one well placed word, like “daughter,” can break open a heart. This is preaching with warmth, imagination, honesty, and hope. A meadow of truth, not a lecture. Hit play.

    Episode 8: Mark Oakley - Preaching as Poetry: The Nearness in Singing Theology into Life

    What happens when a preacher treats language like a sacrament and poetry like oxygen? In this episode of Preaching Well, Dean Mark Oakley invites us into a world where sermons breathe, words stretch, and faith grows in the tension between doubt and delight. He moves from John Donne’s “nearness of the preacher” to the postcards of Nazareth; from poetry that startles the soul to taxi cab grace in Dresden; from the war with cliché to the courage of sermons that shake us awake. This is preaching as craft, honesty, imagination, and hope - told with Mark’s trademark wit, depth, and gentle fire. Quietly electric. Thoughtful. Full of resonance.

    Episode 7: Hueston Finlay - Preaching as a sacramental act and being faithful to the Scriptures

    What happens when a preacher treats Scripture like a flame—something to break open, not decorate? In this episode of Preaching Well, Canon Dr. Hueston Finlay takes us inside a life shaped by Ireland, engineering, Cambridge, Windsor, and the fierce conviction that sermons should breathe, not perform. Hueston speaks of listening as prayer, imagination as obedience, and preaching as a kind of sacrament—breaking the Word the way bread is broken. He pushes back against relevance, trendiness, and preacher-centric sermons. He returns us - again and again - to the text, the tradition, the silence, the Hebrew, the Greek, the Church Fathers, the lectionary, and the God who still speaks through them. This is preaching stripped back to its bones: honest, meticulous, reverent, daring with astonishing clarity.
