The More I Preach, the More I Need to Pray — Brian Davis

What happens when a church plant in a small Irish town brings together people from many nations, languages and church backgrounds?In episode 456, Mike Neglia talks with Brian Davis about planting Kilrush Community Church in County Clare and preaching the Bible to a congregation with very different expectations of church. How do you communicate clearly across cultures without losing your commitment to expository preaching?Brian also shares part of his journey from New Age spirituality to trusting Scripture, and the patient discipleship that helped him along the way. He speaks candidly about prayer, the pressures that compete with sermon preparation, and his hope that Sunday preaching will encourage people to read the Bible for themselves throughout the week.Brian previously served as a pastor and elder at North Clare Community Church. This is an honest, warm conversation about church planting, Bible teaching and continuing to grow as a preacher.Resources mentionedNorth Clare Community Church sermons, including earlier messages from Brian:https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/north-clare-community-church/id1757325592The Word for Today — Chuck Smith’s Bible-teaching archive:https://calvarychapel.com/wordfortoday/Haddon Robinson Audio Archive — sermons, lectures and talks:https://www.gordonconwell.edu/center-for-preaching/haddon-robinson-archive-signup/Expositors Collective equips, encourages and mentors the next generation of Christ-centred preachers:https://expositorscollective.org/Expositors Collective is part of the Calvary Chapel Cooperative, which strengthens churches and supports ministries serving pastors and leaders:https://calvarychapelcooperative.com/

What if the greatest danger to a sermon isn’t a weak outline, but an unexamined preacher?In this Expositors Collective session recorded at Reliance Church in Temecula, California, Pastor Ted Leavenworth considers the character of the person who teaches God’s Word. Drawing on 1 Samuel 16, James 3, and Paul’s counsel to Timothy, he asks why Scripture treats Bible teaching as such a serious responsibility—and why a preacher’s life cannot be separated from their doctrine.Ted explores the temptation to become a “professional Christian”: able to speak about prayer, grace, and obedience while neglecting them personally. He also considers why churches sometimes excuse the conduct of gifted leaders, what hypocrisy communicates about God, and the questions every preacher should ask before teaching others.For pastors, preachers, and Bible teachers, this is a searching invitation to handle Scripture faithfully and to live under its authority.Speaker: Ted Leavenworth of Reliance Church, Temecula, California.Scripture passages discussed: 1 Samuel 16:7; James 3:1; 2 Timothy 2:15; Titus 2:7–8; Romans 2:21–23; 1 Timothy 4:16; Acts 5:1–11; Matthew 6:33.Expositors Collective equips, encourages, and mentors the next generation of Christ-centred preachers through training, conversation, and practical resources:https://expositorscollective.org/Expositors Collective is part of the Calvary Chapel Cooperative, a family of ministries working together to strengthen churches and support faithful leaders:https://calvarychapelcooperative.com/

A sermon can be carefully structured, biblically researched—and still fall flat. What gives faithful preaching life?In this episode of the Expositors Collective podcast, Pilgrim Benham speaks on the art of preaching at our training weekend at Reliance Church in Temecula, California. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 12, he asks preachers to think beyond the mechanics of sermon preparation without neglecting them. How do study and lived obedience give a preacher confidence? What makes biblical truth clear to ordinary listeners? How can a preacher speak courageously while caring for the people in the room?Pilgrim also presses into the difference between informing a congregation and calling them to respond to God’s Word. His message is a lively, pastoral challenge to prepare diligently, speak plainly, and depend on the Holy Spirit rather than technique alone.Pilgrim Benham is the Dean of Students at Calvary Chapel Bible College in Bradenton, Florida, where he also teaches on campus and online. He has planted churches and pastored since 2002, serves on the pastoral team at WestChurch, and coaches preachers.Calvary Chapel Bible College:https://calvarychapelbiblecollege.com/Listen to Pilgrim’s earlier Expositors Collective appearances:How to Help New Preachers Grow in Confidence and Clarity — Pilgrim Benham (on preaching mentorship)https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-help-new-preachers-grow-in-confidence-and/id1397572249?i=1000758363921AI, ChatGPT, and the Ethics of Sermon Preparation — a panel featuring Pilgrim Benhamhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ai-chatgpt-and-the-ethics-of-sermon-preparation/id1397572249?i=1000771816636Expositors Collective equips, encourages, and mentors the next generation of Christ-centred preachers through training, conversation, and practical resources:https://expositorscollective.org/Expositors Collective is part of the Calvary Chapel Cooperative, a family of ministries working together to strengthen churches and support faithful leaders:https://calvarychapelcooperative.com/

What if a sermon gets the facts right but misses the way God chose to tell the story?Mike Neglia talks with Grace Campbell about why biblical genre matters for Bible interpretation and expository preaching. Scripture comes to us as narrative, poetry, wisdom, letters, parables and apocalyptic vision—not as interchangeable containers for three-point outlines. How can preachers attend to both what a passage says and what it does, helping listeners encounter the text rather than reducing it to a set of propositions?The conversation moves from the Good Samaritan and Revelation to Ecclesiastes, where Grace shares how a family crisis changed the way she heard the book’s language of joy, grief and life’s fleetingness. For pastors and Bible teachers, this is an invitation to teach Scripture on its own terms.About Grace CampbellGrace serves alongside her husband Tom at Amazing Grace Community Church in West Cork, Ireland, working with children, teenagers and women. They are parents to Perran and Lily. She spent 12 years with the Irish Bible Institute and continues as adjunct faculty, teaching Bible Interpretation. Grace loves helping people engage with the Bible’s varied literary forms and “taste and see” that the Lord is good.Resources Grace mentioned in the conversation• Jeffrey D.

What do you say when a family is grieving and you have been asked to preach? How do you honour the person who has died, make room for sorrow, and speak of the hope of Christ without offering easy answers?In this vintage Expositors Collective interview, Paul talks with Mike Neglia about the work that happens before a funeral sermon is written: being present with the family, listening to their memories, and understanding whom you are preaching to. They discuss the place of a eulogy, how to offer biblical hope without speaking past people’s grief, and what a pastor can say when the deceased’s faith is uncertain. Paul also reflects on particularly painful circumstances, including a death by suicide.This is a conversation for pastors and preachers who want to serve grieving people with honesty, tenderness, and confidence in the resurrection.About the guestDr Paul Beasley-Murray is a Baptist minister, former principal of Spurgeon’s College in London, and former pastor of churches in Altrincham and Chelmsford, England. He has conducted hundreds of funerals and written extensively on pastoral ministry. His book There Is Hope: Preaching at Funerals draws on that experience to help preachers prepare biblically grounded, compassionate funeral sermons.ResourcesThere Is Hope: Preaching at Funerals — Paul Beasley-Murray, published by IVP: https://ivpbooks.com/there-is-hopeA Loved One Dies: Help in the First Few Weeks — Paul Beasley-Murray’s free booklet for grieving families: https://www.paulbeasleymurray.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/A-Loved-One-Dies.pdfPaul Beasley-Murray’s website: https://www.paulbeasleymurray.com/“Preaching the Gospel at Funerals” — Brian Croft, 9Marks: https://www.9marks.org/article/preaching-the-gospel-at-funerals/“On Funerals” — Preachers Talk, episode 56: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1IDYkfjCE7XWyvAaRvEU9m

Who is helping to shape your tomorrow, and whose future are you helping to shape today?In episode 451 of the Expositors Collective Podcast, Pastor Danny Ramos explores the heart of Christian mentorship and explains why investing personally in others is among the most rewarding and fruitful forms of ministry.Recorded at the Expositors Collective training event at Reliance Church in Temecula, California, Danny builds his message around Paul’s words to Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:1–2: receive what has been entrusted to you, then pass it faithfully to others who will do the same.Danny answers three practical questions: What is mentoring? Why does it matter? And how can someone find a mentor? He describes mentoring as “walking with someone today in a way that shapes your tomorrow”—a transformative relationship in which wisdom, experience, character and ministry are shared through life together.Using the memorable picture of an experienced surgeon training others at the scrub sink, Danny shows why instruction alone is not enough. Emerging leaders need opportunities to prepare alongside mature believers, participate in real ministry, reflect upon what happened and continue the conversation afterward. Some lessons are taught, but others can only be caught through shared experience.Mentorship may happen for a season and may involve several different people throughout a lifetime. It can take place in person, through ministry teams, books, articles and trusted voices from a distance. But the process reaches maturity when the person who has been mentored begins investing in someone else.Danny offers four practical steps for those seeking mentorship:• Pray — ask God to bring the right person into your life.• Look — observe someone’s walk with the Lord and relationships with others.• Ask — request time to shadow them and learn about their habits and availability.• Invest — begin mentoring someone less experienced and invite them to serve alongside you.This message will encourage pastors, Bible teachers and ministry leaders to pursue accountable relationships, recognise their blind spots, develop the gifts of others and faithfully entrust the gospel to the next generation.About Danny RamosPastor Danny Ramos has been married to his wife, Wanda, for 51 years. His ministry journey began in the late 1980s as a youth pastor with a focus on discipleship. Looking back over more than three decades of ministry, Danny believes that mentoring those who desire to serve the Lord is both deeply rewarding and an especially fruitful method of ministry.Danny is currently semi-retired from Maranatha Chapel in San Diego, California, while continuing to teach Bible studies and counsel young couples.Key Scriptures2 Timothy 2:1–2James 3:1Proverbs 27:17Resources mentionedThe Other Half of Discipleship: Why We Learn Life-on-Life — Tom Nelsonhttps://www.desiringgod.org/articles/the-other-half-of-discipleshipPreaching and Preachers — D.

What should a preacher do when the Bible addresses a culturally explosive issue? Can a sermon be useful but insufficiently centred on Christ? How much of the preacher’s own life belongs in the pulpit—and what happens after you preach a sermon that simply did not work?In episode 450 of the Expositors Collective Podcast, Mike Neglia moderates a lively preaching Q&A with Dr Alan Stoddard, Cody King, Bryan Stupar and Dr Danny Hyde, recorded at the Expositors Collective training event at Reliance Church in Temecula, California.The panel begins with the challenge of preaching controversial Bible passages faithfully. How can pastors refuse to avoid difficult texts without chasing viral moments, adding needless offence or apologising for Scripture before they have explained it?From there, the conversation turns to Christ-centred preaching. The panel considers whether moral instruction and practical advice have a place in sermons, why application must flow from the gospel, and how preaching can leave people under condemnation rather than bringing them to the grace and transforming power of Christ.They also offer candid counsel about personal testimony. Stories can establish trust and illuminate a passage, but they can also make the preacher the hero, manipulate emotions, embarrass family members or turn the pulpit into a therapy session.Finally, the panel recommends formative books and Bible-study tools, explains how prayer should run through the entire sermon process, and answers an honest question every preacher eventually asks: What do I do after preaching a bad sermon?This warm, practical and sometimes very funny discussion offers encouragement for pastors, Bible teachers and emerging preachers seeking to handle God’s Word with courage, humility and faithfulness.Topics include:• Preaching culturally charged and controversial passages• Avoiding cowardice, unnecessary offence and political tribalism• Moralistic sermons and Christ-centred application• Conviction, condemnation and the transforming power of the gospel• Using testimony without making the preacher the hero• Personal illustrations, emotional manipulation and protecting your family• Essential books and Bible-study resources• Prayer throughout sermon preparation and delivery• Learning from a disappointing sermon• Trusting the Holy Spirit when preaching feels weakResources mentioned:Blue Letter Biblehttps://www.blueletterbible.org/Biblical Preaching — Haddon W.

Can a sermon be biblically accurate, practically helpful, and still miss the point?At an Expositors Collective training event at Reliance Church in Temecula, California, Cody King and Mike Neglia conducted a revealing experiment: two different sermons from the same passage, Ruth chapter 2.Before this recording, Cody intentionally delivered a moralistic sermon focused on Ruth’s work ethic and Boaz’s integrity. It included true observations and practical applications—but Jesus remained largely at the margins.The recording begins with Mike preaching Ruth 2 through a redemptive lens. Ruth is not merely a diligent worker, but an empty-handed outsider who is seen and welcomed. Boaz is more than a model employer; he is a redeemer whose generosity points beyond himself to Jesus Christ, our true and greater Redeemer.Cody then invites the audience to compare the two approaches. Their responses expose the episode’s central insight: everything in a sermon can be true without being true enough. A message may communicate accurate information and sound advice while failing to lead people to the grace, beauty, necessity, and sufficiency of Jesus.Cody explains what Christ-centred preaching means, why Jesus is the true hero of Scripture, and how moralistic preaching can quietly replace the gospel with self-improvement. He offers practical guidance for connecting individual passages to the Bible’s grand story of creation, fall, redemption, and consummation—without forcing allegory or artificially inserting Jesus into the text.This episode will help pastors and Bible teachers distinguish moral instruction from gospel proclamation, honour authorial intent, preach Christian obedience as the fruit of grace rather than the price of acceptance, and show how Scripture finds its fulfilment in Christ.In this episode:• Two contrasting sermons from Ruth 2• How a sermon can be accurate but incomplete• Why mentioning Jesus is not the same as making Jesus central• Moralistic preaching and Christianised self-improvement• Seeing Christ in Scripture without forcing allegory• The Bible as one grand redemptive story• The preacher as a steward of God’s mysteries• Three questions for preparing a Christ-centred sermonThree questions for sermon preparation:Where does this text fit within redemptive history?What problem does this text reveal that Jesus alone can solve?How does the gospel empower and transform our response?Key Scriptures:Ruth 2John 5:39Luke 24:25–271 Corinthians 2:1–21 Corinthians 4:1–22 Corinthians 4:5About Cody KingCody King is a Bible teacher, church planter, and assistant pastor at Reliance Church in Temecula, California.

Artificial intelligence is already changing how pastors research, write, communicate, and manage the practical demands of ministry. But does using AI necessarily make a preacher less faithful, less authentic, or less dependent upon God?Mike Neglia speaks with pastor, theologian, and AI developer Miles DeBenedictis about the opportunities and ethical challenges that artificial intelligence presents for Christian ministry. Rather than offering either uncritical enthusiasm or fearful rejection, Miles encourages pastors to think carefully about authorship, disclosure, human responsibility, and the nature of consciousness itself.The conversation explores practical uses of AI in sermon preparation and church administration, including research assistance, prayer-request processing, Bible translation, and tools that can preserve more time for prayer, pastoral care, and the ministry of the Word. Mike and Miles also consider the dangers of pastoral deepfakes, cloned voices, deceptive content, autonomous AI agents, and outsourcing the spiritual and intellectual work that belongs to the preacher.At the heart of the episode is a deeper theological question: what does it mean to be human? Miles argues that the church needs a robust biblical anthropology—grounded in the image of God—if it is going to respond wisely to claims about machine intelligence and artificial consciousness.The episode concludes with a practical look at SermonBrief, a research tool designed to assist preachers without writing their sermons for them, and a memorable reminder that AI generally amplifies the habits, convictions, and character already present in the person using it.Special offer for Expositors Collective listenersReceive 20% off SermonBrief for your first year with the code:EXPOSITORSLearn more and sign up:SermonBriefhttps://sermonbrief.com/About Miles DeBenedictisMiles DeBenedictis is the senior pastor of Cross Connection Church in Escondido, California, where he has served since 2008.

In this practical session from the Expositors Collective training event at Reliance Church in Temecula, California, Bryan Stupar introduces the inductive Bible study method. He defines it as slowing down to observe what the Bible says, understand what it means, and respond with worship and obedience.Inductive Bible study helps us move from asking, “What do I want the text to say?” to asking, “What is God communicating through this passage?” Instead of beginning with our preferred conclusion and searching Scripture for support, we begin with the biblical text and allow it to guide us toward its intended meaning.Bryan walks through the three movements of inductive Bible study—observation, interpretation, and application—and offers accessible practices that can strengthen personal study and sermon preparation. These include reading repeatedly, listening to Scripture aloud, comparing translations, identifying repeated words, studying context, recognizing literary genres, and allowing Scripture to interpret Scripture.The ultimate goal, however, is not merely accumulating biblical information. We study Scripture to encounter the risen Christ, know the Father, respond to the Holy Spirit, and become people whose lives increasingly display the love, peace, joy, and kindness of Jesus.In this episodeA simple definition of inductive Bible studyMoving from “What do I want the text to say?” to “What is God communicating?”The difference between inductive and deductive approachesWhy familiarity with a passage is not the same as understanding itRecognizing the assumptions and cultural ideas we bring to ScriptureThe importance of slowing downObservation: What does the text say?Why Bryan listens to a biblical book dozens of timesComparing translations and identifying repeated wordsAsking who, what, when, where, why, and howInterpretation: What does the text mean?Why context is criticalAllowing Scripture to interpret ScriptureUnderstanding literary genresIdentifying the author’s main pointApplication: How should this text change me?Praying Scripture honestlyMoving from biblical knowledge to spiritual transformationThe three movements of inductive Bible studyObservation: What does the text say?Read the passage repeatedly. Listen to it aloud. Compare reliable translations. Look for repeated words and phrases. Ask basic questions about the author, audience, setting, structure, and literary form.Interpretation: What does the text mean?Study the immediate and broader context. Ask what comes before and after the passage. Let Scripture interpret Scripture, follow cross-references, recognize the genre, and identify the author’s main point.Application: How should the text change me?Ask what the Holy Spirit is calling you to believe, obey, confess, or trust God for. Turn the passage into prayer and respond with concrete obedience.About Bryan StuparLearn more about Bryan Stupar and Calvary SLO:https://www.calvaryslo.com/about/our-team/member/102862/About Expositors CollectiveExpositors Collective exists to equip, encourage, and mentor the next generation of Christ-centred preachers.
