Episode 60 of the Restore Podcast is in honor of Black History Month as we have a conversation about the art and beauty of the Black preaching tradition. I was blessed to speak with Dr. Hyveth Williams, professor of Homiletics at Andrews University Theological Seminary and senior pastor of The Grace Place Seventh-day Adventist Church, and Dr. Gervon Marsh who is part of our Pastoral Ministries team here at Florida Conference and holds a doctorate in preaching from Dallas Theological Seminary.

There's so much that can be said about this incredible topic, and surely not everything is covered in this one conversation. I do hope and pray this episode, along with the links, will be a catalyst for you to continue exploring and listening to the art and beauty of Black preaching.
