The Culture of Preaching and Teaching Part 1

In this insightful and practical episode, Pastor Brian Houston
dives into the foundational culture of preaching and teaching
that helped shape Hillsong Church over decades of ministry.
Drawing from a landmark talk he once gave to his staff, Pastor
Brian shares the first 15 of 30 principles that guided the
platform at Hillsong — principles designed not only for his team,
but for any communicator wanting to grow in their effectiveness
and impact.


From the importance of staying positive, faith-filled, and
biblically grounded, to honoring people's time, living what you
preach, and preparing with diligence, Pastor Brian unpacks the
key traits that contributed to a thriving culture of preaching.
You'll hear personal stories, reflections on mentoring young
leaders, and why your message should always help people—on their
Mondays, not just their Sundays.


Whether you're a pastor, communicator, or simply passionate about
ministry, The Culture of Preaching and Teaching – Part 1 offers
timeless, practical guidance to elevate your calling.
