A major pain point in pastoral ministry is the pressure to preach faithfully week after week—wondering if your sermons truly point people to Christ or if you're missing something essential.
Gospel-centered preaching isn't a trend—it's the heartbeat of faithful pastoral ministry. But what does it actually mean to preach in a way that consistently points people to Christ?
You feel it every Sunday—the weight of opening God's Word, the fear that you might mishandle the text or miss the gospel, the pressure to be relevant without compromising faithfulness. The responsibility of preaching can be both exhilarating and exhausting.
Join Jared C. Wilson for a pastoral conversation about pursuing gospel-centered preaching that truly equips God's people.
Jared C. Wilson is Assistant Professor of Pastoral Ministry at Midwestern Seminary and Pastor for Preaching at Liberty Baptist Church.

Jared will help you see that gospel-centered preaching isn't just a buzzword—it's the substance that transforms lives and equips believers to live for God's glory.
