Welcome to The On Preaching Podcast, the podcast dedicated to helping you preach faithfully, clearly, and better.
Sometimes pastors struggle in preaching because they don’t take their pulpit work seriously. Others struggle in preaching because they struggle alone. But good preaching is a partnership between pastor and congregation, pulpit and pew, the one who preaches and the one who listens. The pastor preaches to help those in the pew. But the congregation can and should help the one in the pulpit, as well.
Here are seven ways the pew can helpt the pulpit…
- Pray for your pastor.
- Give your pastor time to study.
- Provide for your pastor.
- Be marked present for worship.
- Listen to the sermon.
- Encourage your pastor.
- Be a doer of the word
How do you think the pew can help the pulpit preach faithfully, clearly, and better?
