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 Judges
The Book of Judges might seem like an unlikely candidate for a powerful sermon series, but within its ancient pages lies a mirror reflecting our modern struggle with faith, leadership, and moral direction. While some may shy away from its raw content and challenging narratives, this biblical text offers profound insights into human nature and God's unwavering faithfulness.
But what makes Judges uniquely relevant for today's church?
In this episode of Preaching Through Podcast, we explore how to effectively preach through this Old Testament book, breaking down its key themes, cycles, and characters. From Ehud to Gideon, from Jephthah to Samson, each judge's story reveals both the devastating consequences of rejecting God's authority and the amazing grace of His persistent deliverance.
We dive deep into practical strategies for structuring a sermon series through Judges, examining how to handle its complex narratives, difficult content, and recurring themes. Learn how to make these ancient stories resonate with modern audiences while maintaining their theological significance and pastoral application.
The timeless message of Judges - that "everyone did what was right in their own eyes" - speaks directly to our current cultural moment. This episode provides a roadmap for teaching through one of Scripture's most challenging yet relevant books, helping preachers navigate its difficult passages while drawing out life-changing truth for today's congregation.
