The Team
Nick is the author of Theology for the People, a blog and podcast discussing the intersection of theology and culture. Additionally, Nick is on the steering committee of the Expositors Collective, an organization that exists to equip and mentor the next generation of Christ-centered preachers. He also serves as a Local Connector with Calvary Global Network and recently developed Cultivate, a program to assess, train, and deploy new church planters and missionaries.
In 1993, when 23 years old, he moved to San Luis Obispo on California's Central Coast to plant Calvary SLO Church, which has become an influential church in the area and beyond, with it's church planting /missions work.
Best of all, Bryan is the father of two daughters, Brianna & Brooke, and enjoys spending time with his family. He's often be found hanging around SLO at one of it's many coffee shops, taking photos, or in the surf.
The Podcast
Moreover, the conversation delves into the challenges of combating a people-pleasing tendency, a common hurdle for preachers. Guzik candidly shares his insights on overcoming this obstacle, advocating for a steadfast commitment to delivering God's message authentically and without compromise. Also the significance of meticulously organized sermon outlines and effective delivery techniques is discussed. Guzik emphasizes the importance of structuring sermons coherently to enhance clarity and resonance with the audience. Additionally, the journey of discovering one's unique voice in preaching is illuminated as a profound and ongoing process, requiring patience, introspection, and continual growth.
In essence, this enlightening conversation with David Guzik offers invaluable guidance and wisdom for preachers seeking to enrich their sermon preparation, refine their delivery, and remain true to their authentic voice in conveying God's truth.
“For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the Lord, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel.” (Ezra 7:10, ESV)
