SCBA Leadership Podcast Episode #123--PREACHING SERIES: Dr. Matthew McKellar

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. Matthew McKellar, who has over 30 years of pastoral experience. He is the Professor of Preaching at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He has also served in a variety of denominational roles at the association and convention levels. We tackle questions like...

• Should we preach from a manuscript?
• How long ought we to preach?
• How can preachers increase congregational engagement?
