Podcasts about preaching

Casey Sigmon joined Tim and me to wrestle with worship, justice, and what happens when we think liturgy is just the music on Sunday morning instead of the choreography of our entire lives. Casey pushed us to see worship as ascribing worth—not just to any god, but to the One revealed in Jesus who demands we care for the oppressed, which means our praise songs better match our actual practices or we're just modern-day targets for Amos's rage. We dug into how white evangelicalism has turned worship into an industry that eliminates friction—picking churches by aesthetic preference, using AI to smooth out prophetic edges, segregating by taste and theology—when the biblical tradition is all about agonistic encounter with holy otherness that disrupts and transforms us. Tim brought his years as a professional drummer in that space to ask hard questions about manipulation versus mystery, while Casey helped us think about lament, confession, and how we've lost communal accountability for systemic sin by making everything about personal purity. We also geeked out on how religion evolved from ritual and trance before language even existed, why kids should lead us in justice work, and whether God's power looks more like collaborative choreography than cosmic intervention. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Casey Thornburgh Sigmon is an Assistant Professor in Preaching and Worship and Project Director of the Pause/Play Center for Preachers at Saint Paul School of Theology in Leawood, Kan. She graduated from Vanderbilt University with a PhD in Homiletics and Liturgics. Her first book, Engaging the Gadfly: Moving from Reactionary to Reflective Preaching a Digital Age (Cascade), explores how the practice of preaching can affirm and subvert norms from social media and generative AI. Dr. Sigmon is an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).

In this episode of Simple Faith, host Rusty George sits down with Dubb Alexander—author, speaker, and global Kingdom influencer—to ask a powerful question: “Is the Kingdom of God different than the Church?”Dubb, author of From the Cult to the Kingdom and Kingdom Theology Vol. 1, shares his incredible journey from growing up in a cult to becoming a voice of Kingdom transformation at the U.N. and beyond. Together, Rusty and Dubb unpack what it really means to live in the Kingdom, not just go to church.If you've ever wondered how God's Kingdom and the Church intersect—or differ—this conversation will challenge, inspire, and deepen your faith.

We live in a culture that constantly craves applause, where even sincere acts of faith can quietly become performances aimed at earning approval. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar remind believers that this desire for recognition is deeply rooted in idolatry and must be surrendered to God. The guys encourage Christians to examine their motives, especially in ministry, and to serve out of love rather than a desire for recognition. Preaching should be centered on God's Word, not on entertainment or showmanship. While humor and illustrations can be helpful, they should never distract from the truth or shift the focus away from Christ. The rise of social media exacerbates this struggle, training hearts to equate value with attention; yet, the call of the gospel is to live for God's glory alone. True freedom comes through the cross, where believers are already entirely accepted by God. Rooted in that security, we can walk humbly, pray continually, and serve faithfully, knowing that obedience and love—not applause—are the marks of a life that pleases Him.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Discover why leading in today's church means listening deeply to people's questions, griefs, and dreams—before ever stepping into the pulpit.Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss this quote from Mark Glanville in Ep. 278, Preaching in Today's Post-Christian World:"People are walking to church now, not with the Bible under their arm, but with complex and genuine questions, with hopes, with dreams, with griefs on their heart, sometimes with a complex relationship with the Bible itself.”THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Church leaders face the complexity of guiding people who bring diverse backgrounds, questions, hopes, dreams, and griefs.Pastoral leaders prioritize listening to the congregation before offering teaching or guidance.Leaders shape sermons and leadership approaches by engaging deeply with people's real-life experiences and struggles.Adaptive leadership requires creating community among people who differ in their spiritual journeys and relationships with scripture.Effective preaching and leadership begin with meaningful relationships and conversations, not just expertise or information delivery.Send me a text!

Specifically, they focus on Christ's words about freedom from John 8, where Jesus is disputing with the Jews in the temple.

Joshua 13:32–33 (Listen) 32 These are the inheritances that Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan east of Jericho. 33 But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance; the LORD God of Israel is their inheritance, just as he said to them. (ESV)Luke 12:22–32 (Listen) Do Not Be Anxious 22 And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 24 Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! 25 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?1 26 If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest? 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! 29 And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. 30 For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 Instead, seek his

Paul's closing words to Philemon aren't just polite goodbyes—they're a living picture of the gospel. He steps into the gap between Philemon and Onesimus, saying, “If he's wronged you in any way, charge it to me,” embodying the costly love of Jesus who cancels our debts and calls us family. This passage invites us to live the same way—to move from closed circles to open tables where grace is practiced, debts are released, and reconciliation becomes visible to the world.Catch the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC Support the show

Colossians 1:28-29 - Speaker: Jon Kopp - Behind the title of this series is an assumption: Gospel Grace is at a crossroads. More and more people are gathering in worship and growing in community. There is an exciting buzz of momentum around what God is doing here, and there are few places across our ministry where we aren't having to adjust and make room. The question is: what is next? As we chart a way forward, we want to clarify and emphasize not just what we are going to do, but how we are going to do it.

2 Corinthians 2:12-12:17 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - In 2 Corinthians 2:12-17, Paul goes to great lengths to discuss authentic gospel ministry. He has been on trial, so to speak, by the Corinthians because of his change of travel plans and cancellation of his second visit to them. They accused him of being fickle and maybe even dishonest. They suggested that he couldn't be trusted and perhaps even lacked apostolic authority. In his attempt to affirm his love and explain why he changed his plans, Paul believes it's necessary to define and defend true gospel ministry. As we study this text together, may the Lord help us embrace genuine gospel ministry. May we participate in and partner with those who give their lives to it.

Whole Church, Whole Earth: The Restoration of All Things

Whole Church, Whole Earth: Total Mission

The good life is found on the narrow way. “All men seek happiness.” So said the French philosopher Blaise Pascal. Every human being has a longing for satisfaction, fulfillment, wholeness. What does Jesus have to say about happiness? In this sermon, we explore how Jesus's words in the Sermon on the Mount reveal the path to genuine happiness and flourishing.Series Description: Jesus is the hero of all of Scripture, the center of the biblical story, and the most important figure in history. The Gospel of Matthew gives us a firsthand look at the life and teachings of Jesus. It stands as a “bridge” between the Old and New Testaments, grounding us in the rich story of Israel while revealing the in-breaking reality of the kingdom of heaven. Through this preaching series, we seek to help people encounter the gospel of the kingdom and embody it as flourishing disciples who live under the gracious rule of God.

In Yesterday's Lesson for Today, Dr. Michael Youssef urges believers to reject the shallow comforts of modern Christianity and return to the unchanging truth of God's Word. Preaching from Acts 20, he shows how the Apostle Paul lived with unwavering obedience, bold witness, and tear-filled urgency. Paul's life was a living sermon—his walk matched his talk. Dr. Youssef warns that wolves are not only outside the church but sitting within, seeking to devour the undiscerning. We must be vigilant—over our homes, pulpits, and hearts. The Gospel never changes, no matter how loud the world shouts. Now is the time to repent, intercede, and stand firm—for ourselves and for the next generation.

Romans 9:1-4, 9:6-7, 10:1-4, 10:11-12, 10:14-15, 11:1-8, 11:11, 11:33-36 / October 13-14, 2025 Pastor Chuck Swindoll explains how God has not ignored His chosen people nor forgotten His promises. Uncover the relevance of these truths in your life today! From the Series: Romans: The Christian's Constitution read more

In Freedom, Dr. Michael Youssef boldly declares that true liberty is found only in surrendering to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Preaching from Acts 19, he exposes the lie of worldly freedom—a life unrestrained by God's Word—as slavery to sin and Satan. True believers are called to live boldly, discerning truth from error, and refusing to be intimidated by evil. But this freedom demands full repentance—not halfway living or Sunday-only religion. Dr. Youssef warns that partial obedience is rebellion in disguise. Just as the Ephesians burned their occult treasures, we too must destroy every idol and submit fully to Christ. The freedom Christ offers is not permission to sin—but power to overcome.
