In a friendly, face to face conversation Mike speaks with Pastor Bob Hiller from Community Lutheran Church in Escondido California about what it means to “hand over the goods” and proclaim the forgiveness of sins in the name of Jesus.

Lindsay Kennedy highlights the unified themes and development of the individual psalms that make up the Psalter and suggests methods of preaching and teaching through the book of Psalms in this conversation with Mike Neglia.

Preaching mentorships are a key component of the Expositors Collective. When it comes to the craft of preaching everyone is called to be both a learner and a teacher. We have plenty to learn in our journey, and there are also newer and younger preachers behind us who could benefit from our coaching and encouragement. This talk from Michael Payne, which was recorded in February in Budapest, Hungary, speaks about the importance of mentorship in the life of both musicians and preachers.

Mike speaks with Suzy Silk about the Holy Spirit’s role in sermon preparation, delivery and application. How does He guide, inform and confirm His truth in the days and moments leading up to the proclamation of the Word? Suzy also answers some of Mike’s questions about the vibrant culture of prayer at Church of the City New York as they seek to embody theology that cannot be dismissed and power that cannot be denied.

In this conversation from July, 2018, Mike speaks with Ted Leavenworth about the mistakes that new preachers most often make as they begin their public ministries. Whether it is cramming sermons with too much information, or ripping off the style or content of other more established preachers, Ted diagnoses both the problems and the solutions to many of these common early errors.

Every Bible teacher preaches topical sermons. Some preachers give topical messages from the pulpit every Sunday, and some only on holidays or for a special series, but all of us need to invest work into improving in this area of sermon preparation and delivery. Nick Cady answers some of Mike Neglia’s questions about best practices and techniques. Some topical preaching can be sloppy and biased, but Nick believes that focused topical sermons can prove a valuable part of our congregation's spiritual diet.
