Is preaching really still relevant? Should it be exalted above other forms of communication, such as teaching or discussing? What’s the difference between teaching and preaching anyway? In this podcast, Voddie Baucham, John Piper, and Miguel Núñez work through these questions, as well as the preacher’s responsibility to submit himself to the authority of God’s Word. As Baucham says, “I don’t preach what God says to them; I preach what God says to us.”
