How to Listen to a Sermon (Part 2): Putting the Word into Practice

How can we become not just hearers of the Word, but doers? In this episode of afterWord, Pastor Kent Dresdow continues the conversation with Executive Pastors Matt Rehrer and Jeremy Pray on expository listening—this time focusing on practical habits that help believers engage with sermons during and after the Sunday gathering. Building on the biblical foundation from Part 1, this episode dives into spiritual disciplines that transform listening into life change.


With heartfelt stories, pastoral wisdom, and insights from the Puritans, the team discusses how consistent presence, note-taking, family discussions, and follow-up meditation on Scripture can shape a life of ongoing sanctification. Whether you’re a seasoned note-taker or a quiet listener, you’ll discover new ways to treasure God’s Word and apply it throughout your week.


This part-two conversation reminds us that listening well is not just a Sunday task—it’s a spiritual rhythm that fuels faith, family, and the local church.


Topics Covered:

  • How faithfulness and weekly presence grow spiritual maturity
  • Different note-taking styles (and why they matter)
  • Why bringing your Bible is still essential
  • Fighting distractions through prayer and spiritual focus
  • How to engage the sermon afterward—alone or with your family
  • Practical application questions to revisit through the week
  • Using sermons as preparation for future seasons of trial
  • Why applying the Word matters more than remembering every detail
