Preaching Through Podcast
Pastors are planning, preparing, and preaching in isolation. It is not that they don’t have trusted friends and family around them – they do. The isolation they are facing is in their own ministry where they play multiple positions, fill multiple roles, and feel they do not have anyone else to share the burden of preaching and teaching with. The Preaching Through podcast is the conversation that takes place when pastors come together to encourage one another to grow, challenging each other’s ability to communicate the Gospel. Each episode gives you a seat table with ministry leaders exploring how to plan and prepare to preach through topics, books, and subjects that are central to following Jesus in 21st Century America.

Preaching Through The Old Testament
Concubines, slavery, the murder of women and children, adultery, and conspiracy are just a few of the topics in Old Testament books that can discourage pastors from embracing the Hebrew Scriptures and stick with the New Testament books. It's understandable. On top of that, we are living in the New Covenant and much of what we find in Old Testament books is not really meant for modern day Christians.
Well, if you care what Jesus has to say, the answer would be a lot. Jesus didn't come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. If you want a solid understanding of God's redemption story and the culmination of his Promise in Jesus, you need to understand the Old Testament.
In this episode we look at the challenges of preaching the Old Testament, important dynamics preachers need to be aware of as they preach Old Testament books, and if a pastor wants to step into preaching the Old Testament for the first time or first time in a long time, what are some sermon series that make for a great starting point?
