| 0:13.0 | The podcast dedicated to helping you preach faithfully, clearly, and better. |
| 0:24.1 | Good. clearly and better. Good day and thanks for listening to the podcast. |
| 0:27.7 | In this episode, I want to talk about impactful sermons I've heard over the years. |
| 0:33.9 | So this episode will be a little different than what I normally do I am often talking these |
| 0:43.2 | episodes about preaching from the preachers end of the equation that is we talk about sermon |
