About this listen

 We evangelicals, says Richard Coekin, have a problem—and it’s a preaching problem.


Richard Coekin says we are too often careless—his word—when it comes to application in preaching.


We work hard on exegesis, we labour to understand the original context and the author’s intent—but then we stop short. We leave our congregations with sound doctrine, but little direction.


Richard has just concluded 29 years as senior pastor at Dundonald Church in London and as the founding leader of the Co-Mission network across the UK capital. He now heads up Reach UK.


Richard’s new book, Apply: How to Preach the Bible for Real Life, is about to be released—and today he joins us to explore why good application is not an optional extra, but the very purpose of preaching.
