Some sermons connect and some just don’t. In this episode, I sit down with Jerry Jones, author of We Preach, longtime UPCI pastor, and former general secretary-treasurer, to talk about the craft behind preaching that moves people.

After more than 55 years in ministry and now teaching the next generation of preachers at Urshan College, Brother Jones breaks down how to open strong, tell stories people can see, build a sermon around one clear idea, and close with a next step instead of a summary. He also shares the honest stories behind the lessons, including the sermon that backfired and the call to preach he almost didn’t answer. If you preach, teach, or lead from the front of a room, this conversation will sharpen how you communicate.

Description:
Dr. Barry Corey, former president of Biola University and author of Make the Most of It, discusses the realities of leadership and what he calls the “splendid agony” of leading. He explains how burdens such as loneliness, discretion, identity, and perpetual challenges are an unavoidable part of leadership. Rather than viewing these burdens solely as difficulties, Dr. Corey encourages leaders to recognize them as opportunities for growth, greater strength, healthier endurance, courageous decisions, and stronger relationships.

Description:
Lincoln Graham Jr. reflects on growing up as a pastor’s kid and witnessing firsthand the damage that overextending oneself in ministry can have on a family. His early exposure to the hardships of ministry caused him to resist his own calling, but ultimately led him to embrace it. After experiencing physical and emotional burnout himself, Graham recognized the need for healthy boundaries. Through Scripture and a deeper understanding of stewardship, he learned that caring for his wife, children, health, and congregation requires serving and protecting what God has entrusted to him.
