In this episode, Peter sits down with Jonathan Thomas for an insightful conversation about preaching. With two decades of experience as a local church pastor, Jonathan has now transitioned to religious media, giving him a fresh perspective as a listener of sermons. What catches his attention now? Surprisingly, it’s not the things he once prioritized when he started preaching.
Jonathan’s reflections are filled with profound wisdom and warm humility. He challenges us to rethink our approach to preaching: If listeners aren’t valuing the elements he once thought were critical, what truly matters? And how should preachers adapt if their audience isn’t engaging with sermons in the way Jonathan describes?
After hearing from Jonathan, co-hosts Peter and Mike dive deeper into his insights and offer encouragement for preachers to close out the episode. Join us for this enriching discussion on biblical preaching.
Thank you for tuning in to this, your conversation about preaching that shares God’s heart.
