How does the presence of weakness in a preacher affect their preaching?

Answered in 1 source

Weakness in a preacher highlights God's strength and ensures that all glory goes to Him rather than to the preacher.

Paul’s description of his own weakness in 1 Corinthians 2:3 serves to illustrate that God's strength is perfected in human weakness, as noted in 2 Corinthians 12:9. Preachers who acknowledge their inadequacy allow God's power to be manifested through them, ensuring that any persuasive ability is attributed solely to God rather than to human effort. When a preacher approaches their task with humility and a sense of fear, they position themselves as vessels through which God can work, ultimately leading to deeper reliance on God's Spirit for the effectual preaching of the Word.
