Trembling Grit: Preaching That's Holy and Human

Sometimes our preaching is polished and profound but arrives untethered from our deep soul and the genuine human experience. Sometimes our preaching feels relatable or vulnerable but carries little holy fire. We long to be preachers who are faithful to the text, to our calling, to our people and to our craft. How do we nurture preaching that is both human and holy?
