Episode Details

In this conversation, John sits down with the Rev. Dr. Michael Brooks, recipient of the 2026 Paul Scott Wilson Preacher Award, to talk about what sustains a lifetime of preaching. Together they explore the importance of relationships, why sermon structure still matters, how lament creates space for honesty in the life of the church, and why preaching remains one of the most deeply human acts of ministry. Our conversation is an encouraging reminder that faithfulness often happens far from the spotlight… and that the ordinary work of proclaiming the gospel still matters!
