It&rsquo;s already relevant, because it&rsquo;s in the Word of God.<\/p>\n\n<p>He drew attention to Isaiah 40:8 (ESV) &ldquo;The grass withers, the flower fades and the word of the Lord stands forever.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n<p>In this episode, they discuss everything from Chicago steakhouses, to preaching failures, to how the resurrection narrative stands the test of time. Bishop Clarke offers three specific words of advice for preachers:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\t<li>Focus on your relationship with God.<\/li>\n\n\t<li>Make your family a priority.<\/li>\n\n\t<li>Find your voice, vocation, and vision.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>He also said &ldquo;acquaint yourself with the history of the church.&rdquo; You can also watch Bishop Clarke&rsquo;s sermons <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCbHpOD25TyMnkS0Hldd3zow?\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-article-subhead2\">Check out what was referenced on the podcast:<\/h2>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zondervanacademic.com\/products\/preaching-through-a-storm\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">H.
