Pastor, ours is a difficult job. We’re supposed to lead, be present in the big moments of life, manage the church, cast vision, and maybe even clean toilets. In the middle of it all, we’re supposed to put together a sermon that will encourage and challenge. It has to be deep (but not too deep), profound (but not aloof), funny (but not disrespectful). Oh, and you’ve gotta do it again in 6 days. Difficult? How about impossible!

I too have been serving the church for years, cranking out a weekly sermon and doing my best to keep up with everything, but I’ve also spent countless hours in the college classroom, teaching courses in public speaking, and business communication, as well as nonprofit management, and leadership. I’ve also had the privilege to speak at dozens of, conferences, camps, and universities and, over the past few years, started helping pastors and leaders in their public speaking.

I love pastors, I love the local church, and I love the art of preaching. I’m a lifelong student of communication, and I want to help. That’s why I started Coach My Preaching.
