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.
