The Podcast
From Creed to Congregation: Reclaiming the Heidelberg Catechism in Preaching
Could reclaiming the practice of catechetical preaching be the key to deeper discipleship and richer congregational life today? In this compelling episode of the Expositors Collective podcast, Pastor Danny Hyde invites listeners to revisit the timeless wisdom of the catechisms—not just as theological documents, but as vibrant, pastoral tools for shaping hearts and anchoring churches in gospel truth.
Danny Hyde serves as pastor of Oceanside United Reformed Church in California and is the author of numerous books, including Welcome to a Reformed Church and Grace Worth Fighting For. A passionate advocate for Reformed theology, Danny shares his journey of learning to preach Christ faithfully from all of Scripture, especially the Old Testament. Much of his early formation came under the mentorship of the late Dr Edmund Clowney, former president of Westminster Theological Seminary. Clowney’s Christ-centred hermeneutic and biblical-theological approach continue to shape generations of preachers. In this episode, Danny reflects on the lessons he learned firsthand from Clowney about letting Scripture’s redemptive storyline lead us to the person and work of Jesus.
The conversation then turns to the catechisms—particularly the Heidelberg Catechism—and why they still matter for preachers and congregations today. Danny explains how catechetical preaching can deepen theological literacy, form congregational identity, and foster gospel clarity in a distracted world. He highlights how the pattern of question and answer is not just pedagogical, but pastoral—echoing the truth of God into the minds and hearts of His people.
This episode includes reflections on the importance of confessional identity, pastoral mentorship, and the preacher’s task of proclaiming Christ without growing repetitive. You’ll also hear a surprising story about how the Heidelberg Catechism once appeared on the shelves of TBN, and how even unlikely partnerships can bear witness to deep truth.
Whether you are sceptical about tradition or eager to recover the old paths, Danny Hyde offers a gracious and persuasive vision for preaching that is rooted in Scripture, guided by confession, and centred on Christ.
