In this engaging interview, professor Matthew D. Kim and SOLA Network editorial curator Aaron Lee discuss "The Big Idea Companion for Preaching and Teaching," a book edited by Kim and Scott Gibson. The book serves pastors as a guide to approach different biblical passages by identifying the central "big idea" that shapes the sermon's message. Kim explains that the big idea represents the main thrust of the biblical text, allowing listeners to take home a clear and applicable message. Listen in on their interview as they talk about: The book compilation process involved collaborating with contributors who understood the big idea philosophy deeply, how the book is structured, and how preachers should use the book to prepare for sermons.

Division, tension and conflict has always been part of life in a fallen world, but it feels as if it has only increased over the past years. How can preachers address contentious issues in a gracious yet truthful way? How can we balance the tightrope as we attempt to offering a unifying word to a divided congregation? Drs Matthew Kim and Paul Hoffman offer seven steps towards preaching that a seven-step model for promoting reconciliation that unifies rather than causes unnecessary division1. The Theological Step: The Sins of Pride and Prejudice2. The Contextual Step: America's Past and Present Reality3. The Personal Step: Facing Our Sin and Acknowledging Our Prejudices4. The Positional Step: We Are Heralds, Not Heart-Changers5. The Methodological Step: A Homiletic for Reconciliation and Unity6. The Practical Step: Pre-Sermon, Mid-Sermon, and Post-Sermon Practices7. The Categorical Step: Biblical Themes and Texts "Preaching has become something of a dreaded task. With self-appointed authorities declaring on social media what pastors should and should not address--and telling people to leave their churches if pastors don't say the supposed right thing--the pastor bears the impossible task of speaking God's Word to a disinterested and divided world. In a day where cultural land mines abound, the preacher can either dismiss the concerns of her congregation as invalid or irrelevant or become a prisoner to the narratives and perspectives of the moment. Kim and Hoffman give us a better way. They excavate a treasury of theological resources to address the chief causes of division and map the terrain of our cultural dynamics and historical context. They teach us to become aware of our own lens as preachers and to rely on the Spirit to breathe the Word of God to the people of God. The result is a stunning, scholarly, current, and critical guide for preachers to take seriously the complexity of preaching in a rapidly changing world."Glenn Packiam Matthew D.

Dr. Matthew D. Kim (author and professor at Gordon-Conwell) sits down with Carey Nieuwhof to talk about preaching to people in pain. Matthew shares about how he has dealt with grief and pain in his own life, ways to connect biblical narratives with the pain people are feeling and how to answer the difficult question of how a good God can allow suffering.   --   Learn more from Matthew Kim in his latest book, Preaching to People in Pain: How Suffering Can Shape Your Sermons and Connect with Your Congregation.

How can you preach to people who are suffering? Matthew D. Kim, author of Preaching to People in Pain believes that beauty is often buried beneath pain, and that unseen reality helps him connect with his congregation. Matt Woodley draws attention to different types of pain: emotional, mental and physical, to name a few. Kim said “I think there are some areas where we can help the listeners see that their pain is acknowledged by God. Their suffering is seen. Their suffering is not in vain. There's a purpose to it.”  In his book, he asks preachers to consider nine questions that will help them prepare sermons on pain and suffering. In this episode, Kim opens up about painful experiences in his own life, and how God used them as formative experiences, to help him uplift people who were suffering in the body of Christ. “I've been sharing pain whenever the text reveals that pain. I think it can help aid the preaching process,” he said.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

“Suffering is ubiquitous, success is not,” writes Matthew D. Kim in Preaching to People in Pain. Ironically, the content of many, if not most, sermons focuses on success more than suffering, however. Are pastors missing an opportunity to speak into the painful experiences of their church members with the hope of the gospel? And if they decide to make the most of the opportunity, how do they go about preaching to suffering people? Those are the questions I’m talking to Kim about in this episode of the Influence Podcast. I’m George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Matthew D. Kim is the George F. Bennett Professor of Preaching and Practical Theology, director of the Haddon W. Robinson Center for Preaching, and director of Mentored Ministry at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Hamilton, Massachusetts. He is author, most recently, of Preaching to People in Pain: How Suffering Can Shape Your Sermons and Connect with Your Congregation, published by Baker Academic. ----- This episode of the Influence Podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of Bible Engagement Project.

Aaron Lee speaks with Matthew D. Kim and Daniel L. Wong about their new book from Lexham Press: "Finding Our Voice: A Vision for Asian North American Preaching." Purchase the book here: https://lexhampress.com/product/183932/finding-our-voice-a-vision-for-asian-north-american-preaching "No one preaches in a cultural vacuum. The message of what God has done in Christ is good news to all, but to have the greatest impact on its hearers—or even to be understood at all—it must be culturally contextualized. Finding Our Voice speaks clearly to an issue that has largely been ignored: preaching to Asian North American (ANA) contexts. In addition to reworking hermeneutics, theology, and homiletics for these overlooked contexts, Kim and Wong include examples of culturally-specific sermons and instructive questions for contextualizing one’s own sermons. Finding Our Voice is essential reading for all who preach and teach in ANA contexts. But by examining this kind of contextualization in action, all who preach in their own unique contexts will benefit from this approach." 1. Why is it important to recognize ANA hermeneutics and theologies? 2. Why are identity, marginalization, and incarnational duality important in this particular moment in history? 3. How do you see preaching today? 4. Why is it important to exegete the congregation and the preacher? Do ANA characteristics, themes and topics change when preaching across generations? 5. How can worship leaders and preaching pastors work together for a holistic ANA service? 6. What has personally helped you develop your ANA preaching voice, what were some failures and successes in this process, and how would you encourage others to do the same? 7. Is the world ready for more mainstream ANA preachers? Aaron Lee is the Social Media Officer at FCBC Walnut. He is also a worship leader and Sunday School teacher.
