The Biblical Preaching Podcast
02/24/25 • 11 min
The Easter story is the heart of the Christian faith, and a key moment in our calendar. How can we preach the Easter story effectively? In this Biblical Preaching Bitesize, Peter Mead shares ten pointers to help us preach Easter in a compelling and life-changing way. We need to beware of familiarity, both in our listeners, and in our own hearts. We need to recognize the challenges of blended accounts, and falling back into old habits with preaching the Easter story.

Episode 8: Jonathan Thomas on Listening to Preaching
The Biblical Preaching Podcast
03/10/25 • 27 min
In this episode, Peter sits down with Jonathan Thomas for an insightful conversation about preaching. With two decades of experience as a local church pastor, Jonathan has now transitioned to religious media, giving him a fresh perspective as a listener of sermons. What catches his attention now? Surprisingly, it’s not the things he once prioritized when he started preaching.
Jonathan’s reflections are filled with profound wisdom and warm humility. He challenges us to rethink our approach to preaching: If listeners aren’t valuing the elements he once thought were critical, what truly matters? And how should preachers adapt if their audience isn’t engaging with sermons in the way Jonathan describes?
After hearing from Jonathan, co-hosts Peter and Mike dive deeper into his insights and offer encouragement for preachers to close out the episode. Join us for this enriching discussion on biblical preaching.
Thank you for tuning in to this, your conversation about preaching that shares God’s heart.

Episode 1: Why Biblical Preaching?
The Biblical Preaching Podcast
01/23/25 • 20 min
Why Biblical Preaching?
In this first episode of Cor Deo’s new The Biblical Preaching Podcast, hosts Peter Mead and Mike Chalmers start at the beginning. Why preach? Have we not moved on from simply delivering a verbal monologue to a gathered congregation? They think about the biblical example, instruction and the theological undergirdings of a commitment to preaching.
So why refer to it as Biblical Preaching? Surely everyone who preaches thinks they are biblical? Is Biblical Preaching the same thing as “expository preaching?”
Join Peter and Mike as they launch the podcast with a discussion about preaching, and don’t miss the closing encouragement for preachers – while preaching may feel like a lonely path at times, we do not travel alone!

Episode 5: Interview - Revival (Part 2)
The Biblical Preaching Podcast
02/17/25 • 25 min
In part two of our conversation with Jonathan Thomas, we continue exploring the profound connection between revival and preaching. Jonathan, a former pastor of 20 years and now a producer and editor in religious media, challenges us with a powerful metaphor: lifting up our sail as we preach. While deeply intrigued by revival, Jonathan offers an unexpected perspective—why we shouldn’t seek revival directly—and shares a moment of encouragement, reminding us that God is working in ways far beyond what we can see.
Following Jonathan’s insights, Peter and Mike reflect on the conversation and unpack its implications for our own preaching and ministry.
This is the conclusion of a rich and inspiring two-part series that has already resonated with many. Please join in, this is your conversation about biblical preaching!
