    Why We Should Preach Hope (Alan Stanley)

    In this episode Alan talks about the importance of preaching hope. Hope is important to preaching because hope is transformative (1 John 3:3). Furthermore, according to Romans 5:5 “hope does not disappoint us.” But what is this hope that doesn’t disappoint? Romans 5:2 says that our hope is the “glory of God.” Hence, if we are to understand hope, we need to understand the glory of God. Preachit!

    Seven Ways to Preach Christ from the Old Testament (With Jason DeRouchie)

    In this episode, Jason DeRouchie talks about how helping others see and delight in Jesus is the desire of every preacher. As we see Christ and delight in him we are increasingly transformed into his image. So how do we preach from the Old Testament to make Christ visible so that transformation happens? In this episode, Jason DeRouchie elaborates on seven ways to “behold Christ” in the Old Testament.   through the Old Testament’s salvation historical trajectories   through the Old Testament’s direct messianic prophecies   through the similarities and contrasts of the old and new ages, creations, and covenants   through Old Testament typology   through Yahweh’s identity and activity through the ethical ideals of Old Testament law and wisdom by using the Old Testament to instruct others in light of what Christ has done.

    The Role of the Arts in Preaching (With Megan Powell du Toit)

    In this episode I talk to Megan Powell du Toit about the role of the arts in preaching. We talk about how Megan’s love for the arts has made its way into her preaching. At the heart of the discussion is the idea that good preaching is much more than merely the transfer of information, because the sermon is targeting a lot more than just the mind. Along the way we talk about preaching as performance, the importance of communicating in way that reaches the whole person, the difference between preaching and teaching, engaging the emotions in preaching, the importance of reflection, how to preach the sublime and transcendent, PowerPoint, seeing preaching as turning “ink” into “blood,” preaching that connects to life, sermon length—is it worth discussing?, the Bible as a neglected resource on ways to communicate, how to preach in a way so that people feel the truth of what is being preached, the advantages of the arts in preaching, using movies, books, stories, music, song, poetry, visual art, our body, gestures, clothing, and the challenge of using the arts to preach the sublime and transcendent without it becoming cheesy.

    Can Anything Good Come Out of Topical Preaching?

    In some circles topical preaching is often thought to be inferior to what is often referred to as expository preaching. But is this caricature justified? Not according to Sam Chan and Malcolm Gill. In this episode we discuss their book, “Topical Preaching in a Complex World: How to Proclaim Truth and Relevance at the Same Time” (Zondervan, 2021) and especially what topical preaching is and how it differs from expository preaching. We also talk about the process of preparing a topical sermon and the various factors that one needs to consider. Also, where does a Christ-centred approach to preaching fit within topical preaching? We discuss how the same topic can be preached from different angles depending on the audience, why ‘significance’ is more helpful than ‘meaning’ in preaching, and how to preach 'sensitive' topics that people will inevitably be divided on?

    How to Be a Culturally Intelligent Preacher (With Darrell Bock)

    In this episode we talk about why being relational is central to being a culturally intelligent preacher. Within this frame, we discuss why being right doctrinally without being relational is a problem for preaching, the real enemy in culture, the role of theological categories and how to communicate them, bridge building, the manner and tone of the preacher, talk show host and comedian Stephen Colbert, the importance of listening to culture, how finding a conversation partner who is not very theologically trained (even a kid) can help our preaching, the job of an expositor, the problem of preaching definitions and cliches, why preachers need to learn to “switch hit”, when preachers make the Bible say too much versus making it say too little, being woke, the harsh tone of some of the Scriptures, and more.

    Preaching the Psalms (With Peter Santucci)

    In this episode I talk with Eugene Peterson’s protégé, Peter Santucci, on Preaching the Psalms. We discuss: · What should we do with those “awkward and unsavoury” parts of the Psalms? · Things to look out for that help us open up the heart and soul of a Psalm. · Why Peter has only three categories for the Psalms and what characterises them. · Why the Psalms are an ideal part of Scripture for us to improvise. · How the Psalms, even the ones we don’t like, help us to pray our emotions. · How the Psalms can be therapeutic. · Why exegetical analysis can do more harm than good in discovering the meaning of the Psalms. · Why it’s sometimes better to sit with a Psalm rather than go to a commentary. · What the “uncomfortable” parts of the Psalms can teach us. · How to preach poetry. · Why are metaphors “true lies.” · Should the Psalms play more of a role in contemporary worship and prayer? · How the Psalms can speak into Christians living in the midst of uncertainty regarding their faith and God. · Who shaped Peter’s understanding of the Psalms, besides Eugene Peterson? · How do we avoid falling into the trap of reading our own emotions into the Psalms?

    How to Preach to a Post-Christian Christian Audience (With Stephen McAlpine)

    In this latest episode I talk with Stephen McAlpine about his Australian award-winning book, “Being the Bad Guys: How to Live for Jesus in a World that Says You Can’t”, and how to preach to a post-Christian Christian audience. Here are just some topics we tackle: “Thin” preaching vs. preaching that has “depth,” and how they relate to life and human flourishing. Why should we preach the gospel to Christians? And what is gospel preaching? Why and how does the gospel transform us? The inadequacy of counterfeit gospels such as the self-help gospel and moralistic preaching, and why they can’t deal with some of life’s big problems. Why preachers should prepare people for the week ‘they’ will be having and not the week ‘the preacher’ will be having. Authenticity: what is it and why the current way of defining it is inadequate. The role of self-denial in gospel preaching. The problems with the current culture’s view of authenticity. The church needs to start preparing for a tsunami of broken and wounded people. Are we ready? To what extent should we be preaching on ‘sensitive issues’ from the pulpit? You can check out Stephen's book here: https://www.thegoodbook.com.au/being-the-bad-guys Preachit!
