Tommie and Banele recently read Christopher Ash’s book Listen Up, and Banele has some questions. In this episode, they explore the vital but often overlooked skill of listening well to sermons. They discuss how to prepare your heart before Sunday, what should occupy your mind during preaching, and why listening together as a gathered congregation matters more than consuming sermons alone through podcasts or livestreams. The conversation tackles the uncomfortable reality of boring sermons and offers practical strategies for benefiting from even monotone, poorly structured preaching. If this is a struggle you have faced, listen in for some practical guidance on listening well to sermons. Here is Bonus Episode 9 of Imprint Out Loud.
