Do you love to preach but at times loathe sermon prep? Do you find preaching incredibly fulfilling yet preparation frustrating or even overwhelming? If so, you're not alone. Many pastors struggle with the inefficiency of sermon prep—feeling bogged down by research, unsure how to faithfully interpret Scripture, or intimidated by today's hot-button topics like politics, gender, and race. Dr. Bruce Clark (PhD. in Biblical Studies, University of Cambridge) from Interpret Consulting joins the show to discuss the common frustrations of sermon prep and explore practical ways to streamline the process while strengthening your preaching skills. Interpret Consulting aims to come alongside busy faithful pastors (in churches of all sizes and stages) and assist them in sermon preparation by helping them strengthen their exegetical skills and tackle today's seemingly endless sensitive “hot button” issues.

Episode 68: Paul Olson is a member from our church who uses his gifts in education and theology to help Pastor Rob prepare and research for all of his sermons! Paul jumps into Talking Church to discuss his story, how he once made the mistake of loving the Bible and knowledge more than God, and how he let God pull him out of that season in his life. Don't miss this amazing story!

Every time we preach we have an opportunity to fulfill our God-given calling to impact lives with the truth of God's Word and the hope of the gospel. But the effectiveness of our preaching is impacted by a host of variables we cannot control, including distractions in the room. But there is something we can control, and that is how well we prepare. I find one of the most often neglected aspects of effective sermon preparation is rehearsing the sermon. By rehearsing I mean preaching the entire message by yourself (or to a handful of people) before you actually preach the sermon to your church. The reluctance to rehearse is varied. Some preachers might think it's awkward to preach to themselves. They're totally right, by the way. It is awkward, but that does not mean you shouldn't do it. Other preachers might avoid it because they don't think it's necessary. Still others may have just never thought of it. In this episode, I will show you why I believe the often neglected step of rehearsing the sermon is essential to great sermon delivery. We'll also dive into how to rehearse your message for maximum impact.

If you've ever wondered how pastors get from a text in Scripture to a finished sermon, this one's for you. Part spiritual discipline and part stewardship, the process of understanding and then proclaiming the message of Scripture is much more involved than an introductory class on homiletics might suggest. Special guest and “friend of the pod” Luke Le Duc joins Mark in the studio to explore the secrets of sermon prep.

Sermon preparation can be vexing. It's important to put in the necessary hard work and deliver a sermon that is worthy of a listen. But when I write about the importance of working hard at sermon preparation, well-meaning people sometimes respond with this argument: "Just let the Holy Spirit guide you! No need for all this work." It is their desire to protect the purity of the process and not tarnish it with technique. They see preaching as this otherworldly exercise that the Holy Spirit superintends. In their view, the work of the Holy Spirit is thwarted when the preacher makes an effort to improve his preaching. In this episode, we'll look at why this is a misunderstanding of the Holy Spirit's role in sermon prep.
