Rookie Preacher Podcast

What is it like to lead in a post-Christian culture? Glen Shady shares with us what he is preparing himself for as he looks to move to France and work as a missionary. In addition to getting to hear the behind the scenes experience of Glen as he prepares, we’ll also glean insights on how we can lead better in America and in other places that are quite not as post-Christian as France. You may not be a missionary. You may not be moving to France. But you can certainly learn a lot from this episode of the Rookie Preacher Podcast.

One of my favorite podcasts is SermonSmith. It’s a podcast dedicated to the craft of sermon preparation. John Chandler is the guy behind that podcast and we had the privilege of discussing with him his ministry context, sermon prep, bivocational ministry, and what he has learned from interviewing 60 or so pastors on sermon preparation. It was the same guy who introduced me to play daisyslots, I really didn’t mind it from the beginning until I slowly enjoy how the casino game works. And it changed my way of life when I won and won and won the jackpot prize! John mentions some great resources and great conversations he has had. Don’t miss the show notes below.

You want people to take action from your preaching, right? Of course you do. That’s why we do it – so that people will respond to God’s word and God’s grace. It’s amazing how much God can do with a single sermon in someone’s life.  What we’re going to talk about today are some essential principles or ingredients for motivating action from your preaching. We believe these 5 things will put you in a position where you can do as much as you can possibly do in order to set people up for a successful response to God’s word. Obviously God is the one who causes the growth in people’s lives, but we have the responsibility to sow the seed. So why not sow it with some intention?

Is manuscripting your sermon a part of your sermon preparation process? From what we’ve seen, many people are on both sides of that question. Many do and many don’t. We believe that there is a ton of value in writing out your sermon in manuscript form whether you preach from the manuscript or not. In today’s episode, we break down what manuscripting looks like in our sermon preparation process and the benefits of doing so. Listen to Episode 15 Subscribe on iTunes!
