Crafting sermons that effectively communicate the Word of God is an immensely important task - at times a great joy, at others a great challenge. Even the most experienced preachers occasionally run dry or struggle to breathe life into the weekly message.

PulpitTalk is designed to give you a fresh look at sermon preparation and the tools to preach the Scriptures with clarity and power.

A lively and thought-provoking quarterly audio journal by the Center for Preaching at Gordon-Conwell Seminary, PulpitTalk lets you listen to sermons, learn from faculty critiques, gain new insights on the elements of effective sermons, hear from master preachers on their own sermon preparations…and much more.

In your study or in your car, you can glean new ideas and receive new perspective from preaching experts with a common passion: to share biblical truth in ways that reach hearts and change lives.
