Season 2, Episode 4: Preaching to Men with Andrew Grills
How do you preach in a way that speaks meaningfully to men? What are the opportunities, and the challenges, of calling men to follow Christ with courage and humility?
In this episode, we're joined by Andrew Grills, lead pastor of City on a Hill Geelong, to explore how faithful preaching can engage the hearts of men in our churches and communities. Andrew shares biblical and pastoral wisdom on addressing the unique temptations, responsibilities, and callings men face, while keeping Christ and the gospel firmly at the centre.
We discuss:
- Calling men to biblical leadership, service, and godliness
- Preaching with challenge, grace, and gospel hope
- Avoiding stereotypes while speaking to real issues
- Helping men see the beauty and strength of following Christ
Whether you're preaching to a men's gathering or a regular Sunday congregation, this conversation will help you proclaim God's Word in a way that challenges, encourages, and equips men to grow as faithful disciples of Jesus.
Our prayer is that these conversations would help raise up a generation of faithful, clear, and compelling preachers of God's Word. If you've enjoyed this episode, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who would benefit.
