In a culture addicted to fast food and instant gratification, are we falling into the same trap when it comes to sermons? In this episode, Pastor Mike Chaddick draws a fascinating parallel between the shallow nourishment of fast food and the modern demand for quick, easy-to-digest preaching. Recorded live at the Expositors Collective preacher training event in Indianapolis, Indiana, Mike challenges us to dig deeper into Scripture using the inductive Bible study method—a three-step process of observation, interpretation, and application.   Discover how studying the Bible through the lens of language, grammar, historical context, and genre can lead to sermons that nourish and transform. Mike also highlights the value of consulting multiple Bible translations and offers practical tips for interpreting Scripture through a gospel-centered, doctrinally sound lens. Whether you’re a seasoned expositor or just starting out, this session is packed with insights to help you teach the Word with depth, clarity, and life-changing impact.   Don’t miss this thought-provoking episode as we continue to share sessions from our October 2023 event in the Hoosier State.   --- About  Mike Chaddick   Pastor Mike Chaddick is the senior pastor of Image Church in San Juan Capistrano, CA, and a regular contributor to the live radio show *Pastors Perspective* on KWAVE 107.9FM.
