SCBA Leadership Podcast Episode #121--PREACHING SERIES: Dr. Ron Lyles

In the summer of 2025 we had several guests join us by Zoom to talk to our ministers about preaching. This podcast is a recording of one of those conversations, which we are releasing as a series. We had a morning cohort and an evening cohort for bi-vocational pastors. Sometimes we will put the two conversations together and often you’ll hear one group refer to the other.

 

In this episode we spoke with Dr. Ron Lyles, Pastor Emeritus of South Main Baptist Church in Pasadena, Texas, where he served as Senior Pastor for 40 years. Dr. Lyles has also taught at a number of seminaries: Southwestern Seminary, Houston Baptist University, B. H. Carroll Theological Institute, the Nigerian Baptist Theological Seminary, and is currently an adjunct for Stark College & Seminary in Corpus Christi, teaching Old Testament and Communication in Ministry courses. Dr. Lyles holds a Ph.D. and M.Div. from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and a B.A. - Dallas Baptist University.
