How each sermon is made

About the show

The preacher's words, in ours

Each sermon is rendered in everyday English. The meaning, the order of the argument and the hard truths stay exactly as they were preached. Nothing is softened and nothing is added.

Scripture word for word

Every Bible quotation is read from the English Standard Version, so you hear the text itself, not a paraphrase of it.

The story behind it

Each episode opens with a short history of when, where and why the sermon was first preached, checked against published sources.

Help these sermons reach new ears

These sermons once filled fields and meeting houses. Today they can reach anyone with a phone, but only if someone keeps bringing them back. Each episode takes many hours to prepare, record and edit.

Your gift keeps them coming and carries them further, to more people who are searching and have never heard them.
