This audio clip is kindly provided by pastor and author Byron Yawn. You may recall that I recently reviewed Byron’s bookWell-Driven Nails: The Power of Finding Your Own Voice. Byron interviewed John MacArthur, R.C. Sproul, & John Piper about preaching.

This audio clip is from John Piper. It is some bonus material that is not in the book. Byron is talking with John Piper about a freedom from self-consciousness while preaching. In other words, getting out of the way and being the conduit we are supposed to be. In the interview we have this nugget from Piper:

“Preaching has reached its ideal moment when I have seen and perceived that I am experiencing what I see about the greatness of God in this text and loving it.”

Byron’s book has a lot more to say about this including his own personal wrestling with preaching. It’s a very helpful read.
