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
Jeremy Byrd
In this episode, I sit down with Jeremy Byrd, senior pastor at Christ Church PCA in Trussville, Alabama.
We discuss his journey into the PCA, his philosophy of preaching, and the joys and challenges of sermon preparation.
In the shows exclusive segment Jeremy shares his experience of preaching the same sermon twice each Sunday morning, what he’s learning from it, and how it has surprised him. We also talk about the role of preaching in church planting, pushing back against the idea that sermon preparation should take a back seat to community engagement. And for a bit of fun, we wrap up with a discussion on fountain pens, our favorite writing tools, and why a good pen can make sermon prep even more enjoyable.
