My aim is to make a show for leaders in ministry–formally or informally, inside or outside the church–who have an interest in preaching/public speaking and church communication.\r\n\r\nThe primary format for this show is the interview. This allows us to engage with a wide-range of guests on many different aspects of preaching, teaching, and communication. While many of the guests are pastors and preachers, I also believe it is important to learn from those outside the profession of preaching who have something to teach us.\r\n\r\nDisclosure of Material Connection: Some of the links on this site are “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive an affiliate commission. Defining Grace is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.","_fireside":{"subtitle":"A show for preachers, teachers, and communicators","pubdate":"2019-09-23T05:00:00.000-04:00","explicit":false,"copyright":"2025 by Dan Wunderlich","owner":"Dan Wunderlich","image":"https://media24.fireside.fm/file/fireside-images-2024/podcasts/images/3/39cd575d-7d77-45e3-8780-b38a59460e32/cover.jpg?v=1"},"items":[{"id":"998a4d99-7317-4bfc-9b47-cf2991fec5ce","title":"Episode 71: How to Lead in a World of Distraction - An Interview with Clay Scroggins","url":"https://artofthesermon.fireside.fm/71","content_text":"Thanks for checking out this episode of Art of the Sermon!
