171: Finding the Big Idea When Preaching and Teaching: An Interview with Matthew D. Kim

In this engaging interview, professor Matthew D. Kim and SOLA Network editorial curator Aaron Lee discuss "The Big Idea Companion for Preaching and Teaching," a book edited by Kim and Scott Gibson. The book serves pastors as a guide to approach different biblical passages by identifying the central "big idea" that shapes the sermon's message. Kim explains that the big idea represents the main thrust of the biblical text, allowing listeners to take home a clear and applicable message.

Listen in on their interview as they talk about: The book compilation process involved collaborating with contributors who understood the big idea philosophy deeply, how the book is structured, and how preachers should use the book to prepare for sermons.
