Especially the Preaching
On Especially the Preaching we meet preachers of God’s Word and through simple, honest interviews, shine a light on their work—their calling, their struggles, their joys. We aim to encourage preachers, those who wish to preach, and those who want to understand the preacher’s life. This is gospel ministry, not in the high places, but in the quiet corners where Christ’s kingdom grows strong.
Especially the Preaching
Welcome to Especially the Preaching
In this inaugural episode of Especially the Preaching, host Ben Ratliff introduces himself, shares his journey into ministry, and explains his passion for the ministry of the Word—especially preaching. Drawing from Westminster Larger Catechism 155, Ben discusses why preaching is the primary means by which God enlightens, convinces, and builds up His people. This episode lays the foundation for the podcast’s mission to hear from faithful pastors and about their preaching ministries.
