Preachers' College Podcast

Dr. Jim Shaddix is the Professor for Preaching at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. I call him a sultan of sermons because he's legendary. He occupies the W. A. Criswell Chair of Expository Preaching. He also serves as Director of the Center for Preaching and Pastoral Leadership, which exists to resource pastors in local churches. Jim has pastored churches in Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana and Colorado and Alabama, and he also served as Dean of the Chapel and Professor of Preaching at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in New Orleans, LA. He is the author of The Passion Driven Sermon(Broadman & Holman, 2003), Decisional Preaching(Rainer, 2018), and co-author with Jerry Vines of Power in the Pulpit(Moody, 1999, 2017) and Progress in the Pulpit(Moody, 2017). Dr. Jim Shaddix has trained some of the greatest preachers and communicators of our day. He has written some of the best books on preaching in our modern era. He is a faithful helpful teacher as it relates to preaching and you won't be disappointed. We spend time in this episode discussing the mechanics of preaching. I wanted to maximize the time I had with Dr. Shaddix with the intent that we get the best sermon preparation tools from Dr. Shaddix. Get your notes ready. You won't be disappointed.
