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 A Teaching Team
Building an effective preaching team is more complex than simply sharing the Sunday morning workload. It's about developing multiple voices, creating cohesive messages, and strategically investing in the next generation of communicators.
But how do you build a preaching team that maintains quality while developing new voices? The answer requires careful consideration and intentional planning.
In this episode of Preaching Through Podcast, we explore the essential elements of creating and maintaining an effective preaching team:
- Who should be on the preaching team?
- How many times should someone preach to be considered part of the team?
- What environments can help develop new preachers?
- How do you maintain consistency across different voices?
- What role should guest speakers play?
We also dive into practical strategies for smaller churches looking to build their first preaching team, from gaining elder board buy-in to identifying and developing potential communicators. Learn how to navigate feedback, manage expectations, and create opportunities for growth.
Building a preaching team isn't just about sharing the load – it's about creating a leadership development culture that serves both the current congregation and future church leaders. Whether you're part of a large staff or a small church looking to expand your teaching capacity, this episode provides practical insights for developing multiple voices while maintaining quality and consistency.
The journey to building an effective preaching team takes time, patience, and wisdom. But with the right approach and expectations, any church can begin developing the next generation of communicators while serving their congregation well.
