Preaching as an Exegetical Weaver

Robert Smith Jr., an experienced preacher and former professor at Beeson Divinity School, shares his insights on how preaching has evolved and how his own methods have grown deeper. He highlights the shift toward Christ-centered preaching with real-life applications. Smith’s sermon preparation involves immersing himself in the biblical text, reading it multiple times, and engaging all senses. His greatest challenge is expressing timeless truths in fresh ways, while his joy comes from the privilege of preaching in any setting, emphasizing humility and a deep connection with scripture.
