Clear Preaching

About Clear Preaching

You worked hard on that sermon. Did they actually hear it? Clear Preaching is the podcast for preachers who are serious about closing the gap between what they meant to say and what their congregation actually heard. Hosted by Dr. Jonathan McClintock — preacher, pastor, sixteen-year homiletics instructor, and developer of the four-domain Clear Preaching Framework — each episode delivers practical, framework-driven teaching on the discipline of preaching with clarity. Through solo teaching episodes, conversations with preachers and scholars, and real sermon analysis, Clear Preaching helps you develop clarity at every stage of the preaching process — from the moment you open the text in your study to the moment you close your Bible in the pulpit. Whether you are stepping into the pulpit for the first time or have been preaching for decades — if you believe the message you carry is worth delivering as clearly as possible, this podcast is for you.

   Ep 30: The Shuffle Test: Why Your Sermon Isn't Going Anywhere

   Send us Fan Mail Here is a test that takes about thirty seconds and will tell you the truth about your last sermon. Take your movements and swap their order. Put movement three first. Put movement one last. Then ask yourself honestly... did anything break? Because if you can shuffle them and the sermon works just as well, what you have is a list. And a list can be true, biblical, well illustrated, and still leave a room exactly where it found them. In Episode 30, Jonathan picks up where last ...
