Wretched Radio with Todd Friel

Sermons Put You to Sleep? How To Love Lengthy Preaching


Listen Later

Segment 1

• Sermons used to be long and weighty—now they’re shallow.

• Why do we tolerate hours of football but squirm after 20 minutes of preaching?

• Lloyd-Jones and Packer: urgent, doctrinal preaching isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Segment 2

• Why do you go to church—and what do you expect?

• Many show up with little thought, fueling shorter and shallower sermons.

• Preparation matters: pray, take notes, engage your Bible, fight distractions.

Segment 3

• Doctrinal truth without application leaves us wanting.

• Head and heart can’t be separated—truth must move affections.

• Don’t fall into ditches: emotionalism on one side, cold intellectualism on the other.

Segment 4

• Taliban shuts down internet, silencing women and education.

• Christianity uniquely dignifies women—seen even in witnesses to the resurrection.

• True flourishing for women and children is found only in Christ.
