Episode 10: Heart Application with Murray Capill

Preaching isn’t finished until God’s Word reaches real lives. But how do we move from explaining the text to showing its transforming power in the everyday?

In this season finale, we’re joined by Murray Capill, pastor, author, and long-time lecturer in preaching, to explore the heart of application. Murray unpacks why application is not an optional add-on, but the very goal of preaching, and how preachers can connect the Bible to the joys and struggles of their people with helpful ideas and frameworks.

We discuss:

• Why application is central to biblical preaching
• How to make sermons land in different contexts and with diverse listeners
• Common pitfalls in application and how to avoid them
• How application keeps pointing people to Christ rather than just “good advice”

This episode ties together the themes of the whole season, reminding us that preaching is not only about saying true things but about God’s Word bringing lasting change in real lives.
