Communicate for life change.
While we’ve probably never met, we have this in common: When it comes to preaching, we want to get it right.
We are stewards of the faith of this generation—it’s a big deal.
Our responsibility, every Sunday, is to bring our energy to the Scripture and help our audience navigate it and apply it to their lives. In this course, I’ll share everything I’ve learned in over 45 years of communicating to audiences of various ages and stages of faith.
“I’m going to do my best to empty my cup of pretty much everything I’ve learned.”
