Healthy Church: Expositional Preaching
In this episode of Salty Believer Unscripted, Bryan Catherman and Josiah Walker continue their Healthy Church series with a discussion about expositional preaching. Using the first of Mark Dever’s Nine Marks of a Healthy Church as a starting point, they discuss what expositional preaching is, why it matters, and how faithful preaching shapes the health of the local church. They also discuss the difference between expositional and verse-by-verse preaching, the dangers of preaching our favorite topics while neglecting the whole counsel of God, and why preaching should submit to the shape and emphasis of the biblical text.

Healthy Church: Introduction
In this episode of Salty Believer Unscripted, Bryan Catherman and Josiah Walker return to the podcast’s audio-only roots and begin a new series on healthy churches. They talk about what makes a church healthy, who gets to decide, and why Scripture must set the standard rather than a ministry brand, book, or preferred church model. Using the *Nine Marks of a Healthy Church* framework as a starting point, they introduce topics such as expositional preaching, the gospel, conversion and evangelism, membership, discipline, discipleship, leadership, prayer, and missions, while emphasizing that the goal is not to criticize imperfect churches but to help churches grow patiently toward greater biblical faithfulness.
