Which preacher are you?

 

😅

The Aspiring/New Preacher

  • You know God has called you to preach, but you know you need to learn… well, everything about preaching.
  • When you prepare a sermon, you struggle to know where to start.
  • When you try writing your sermon, you feel overwhelmed. You want so badly to do a great job and to honor God with your message. But the blank screen keeps staring at you.
  • And then standing up and preaching your message? You’re a nervous wreck and you know it could be better.
  • You find yourself chained to your notes, struggling to connect with the congregation.

🙃

The Struggling Preacher

  • You feel like you should be further along in your preaching than you are.
  • Every week feels like a gauntlet of stress as you try to juggle all your responsibilities and still fit in your study time.
  • Then, when you do get to sit down and prepare, you spend a ton of time in commentaries and can easily get lost in your study to the point that you feel like you must rush everything else. 
  • And when you deliver your sermon, you can’t help but feeling like it could be better. You know you haven’t reached your potential. 

😀

The Veteran Preacher

  • You’ve been at this for a while, and you’ve found what works for you for the most part.
  • But you know that your sermon content could be even better. You know that it’s vital to not only exegete the text but also exegete your people.
  • You know that your preparation process could be tightened up.
  • You want to make deeper biblical insights and preach to the hearts of both unchurched and churched people at the same time.
  • You don’t want to settle for being a good preacher. Instead, you want to reach your potential and master the art of communication.

To the Aspiring/New Preacher

I know what you’re going through. I’ve been in your shoes. And I also know how to help you develop your preaching craft so that you can prepare, write, and deliver transformational messages with confidence.

God has called you and gifted you. I’ll help you steward that calling and gift so that you can help people surrender to and grow in King Jesus.

To the Struggling Preacher

It’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the responsibilities of ministry. Not to mention, all the other plates you have spinning in life. But things don’t have to stay the same. You can get a better handle on your time. And I’ll show you how. You can prepare, write, and deliver messages that you’re excited to preach because you know they’re practical and will drive people toward the gospel.

To the Veteran Preacher

Your ministry has been a gift to the church. And the fact that you want to continue to grow is a testament to your faithful stewardship of your calling and gifts. While you have figured out a lot of things that work for you, there’s still so much more growth you could experience. In your preparation process. In your sermon writing. And in your sermon delivery. Plus, when you begin to pair your biblical insights with a growing mastery of communication… Beautiful things will happen.

Preaching Matters GREATLY!

You know that. 

But what I quickly found out after getting to Bible College and preaching my first sermon is the same thing you found out...

Preaching great sermons consistently is difficult.

There's so many things to consider and so many moving parts to preparation and writing, let alone putting it all together and delivering it with power.

But I was determined to figure out what separates great preaching from average preaching.

Because... Preaching is so vitally important!

The #1 Reason Unchurched People Choose a Church

If you had to guess, what do you think is the number one reason unchurched people choose a church to attend?

It’s not the music. It’s not the lights. It’s not even the kids ministry - at least at first.

It’s the preaching.

Thom Rainer and his team did research in this area and discovered that 90% of unchurched people gave the preaching as the reason they chose a church. WOW!

Gallup did research in this area, too. Their research showed that 76% of people chose a church based on the quality of the preaching.

Additionally, Gallup determined that sermon content is what appeals most to churchgoers. More specifically, churchgoers are hungry for sermons that teach Scripture and are relevant to life.

All that to say, the sermon is important in SO many ways!

But What Separates Great Preaching from Average Preaching?

Think about it...

  • Why do some sermons stick with us and others are forgotten before people even leave the building?
  • Why are some pastors able to prepare and write their messages efficiently, while others struggle to get them done before Saturday?
  • Why are some churches hubs reaching unchurched people and bringing them into the family of God consistently?

Well, what’s the answer?

I became obsessed with answering those questions. And here's what I found:

  • Some have a memorable structure and some don’t.
  • Some get ahead and some don’t.
  • Some are communicating compelling gospel messages and some aren’t.

Developing an effective system for preparing, writing, and delivering sermons is what will allow you to save time and connect people to the gospel more.

If you are just starting out in ministry or you’re a seasoned veteran in the trenches, you’ll benefit from this step-by-step approach that will allow you to develop a system that is centered around how you are wired.

But how do you develop all this?

Well, it's possible. And I'll guide you through it all.

“Your step by step hands on approach to preaching is helping me gather my thoughts better and become a better communicator of the gospel! I love the way you break everything down and this allows me to be more creative and confident as I go through each of the training modules. Thank you for letting God use your gifts!”

- Danny Enfinger, Pastor at More 2 Life Ministries

Introducing Sticky Sermons Academy

 Expanded + Updated!

The complete, end-to-end, proven system to get you preaching memorable, transformational sermons every week.

 

Sticky Sermons Academy is an online course designed to help you preach memorable sermons week in and week out.

It’s an entire preaching SYSTEM to help you optimize and improve in every area of preaching.

Over the last 9+ years of coaching pastors in their preaching, I've uncovered and reverse-engineered 7 main strategies YOU need to implement in order to develop your own system for preparing, writing, and delivering memorable sermons week in and week out.

Through Sticky Sermons Academy, you'll receive Seminary level guidance that is a fraction (seriously, a FRACTION) of the cost and exponentially higher on practicality.

 

Sticky Sermons Academy will help you:


Discover Your Preaching Voice

Whether you've never preached a sermon or you're a seasoned veteran, you will gain powerful clarity on how to preach the way God intended you to preach given your unique personality and passion.

Develop Efficient, Repeatable Sermon Prep Systems

So that you can get ahead and stay ahead in your sermon preparation and advanced planning. No longer will you have to settle for a rushed sermon or feel overwhelmed by the chaos that too often plagues pastors in their preparation.

Craft Sticky, Heart-Piercing Sermon Content With Tools + Frameworks

No longer will you settle for general truths that are generally applied. Instead, you'll have tools and frameworks to help you develop sermon content that pierces people's hearts and souls.

Write Sermons That Stick Every Single Time

I'll break down, in detail, the Sticky Sermon Structure and how you can use it to leverage the power of story to write sermons that are focused, organized, and centered on one powerful point from God's word.

Mine for Gospel Gold, No Matter the Passage

Because a sermon that doesn't point people to the gospel is like a hot rod with no fuel. It doesn't do anything. You'll learn multiple frameworks for digging for and finding gospel gold so that you can preach for life-change every single time.

Deliver Sermons With Power

Instead of settling for vague instructions on how to deliver sermons in an engaging way, you'll see all the ins and outs of what it looks like to dynamically deliver your messages. Instead of people walking out of the service wondering what's for lunch, they'll walk out reflecting on God's message to them delivered through you.

Master the Art of Communication

You'll be able to take your sermons to a new level by delving into the nuances of mastering communication. After all, preaching isn't just about exegeting the text well. It's also about exegeting people well and using that exegesis to connect to their hearts, whether they're unchurched or 'over-churched' (or somewhere in between).

"Churches are more integrated today than ever before. While writing a sermon, African-American preachers are often tasked with retaining a sense of cultural identity while synchronously signaling that we have membership in the dominant majority. Sticky Sermons Academy teaches how to deliver such with appropriate eye contact, voice inflection, and cadence so the message is welcoming to all cultures."

Premium Bonus 1: The Craft of Biblical Preaching (Normally $197)

Premium Bonus 2: Reach People Digitally (Normally $150)

In this online course, I will show you how to reach people in your community digitally so that you can begin discipling them in person and online.

In Reach People Digitally you get three in-depth video lessons:

  • Before You Go "Viral" 7 Rules for Pastors on Social Media

But if you're among the most serious about improving your preaching...

If you're someone who wants not only premium training, but also wants support and personal coaching, then keep reading because Sticky Sermons Academy now includes a Certification Program.

The Transformative Preaching Certification

The Transformative Preaching Certification makes it nearly impossible to fail at preparing, writing, and delivering transformative sermons week in and week out.

If you're truly serious about growing in your preaching craft, then keep reading to learn all about it.

Achieving the Transformative Preaching Certification

Using Sticky Sermons Academy as the training material, the Transformative Preaching Certification adds coaching and accountability into the mix.

Instead of it being all up to you, when you join the TPC track, you’ll have an expert preaching coach walking beside you every step of the way.

All in all, the certification track consists of a combination of:

Projects

Learning is far more than listening to a lesson.

To truly learn something, you must take action and start implementing what you’re being taught. This is where projects come into play. You will have four projects to complete throughout your certification track. Each one will be pivotal in you dramatically improving your preaching craft.

Assessments

Assessments aren’t just tests.

They’re a way to show me and yourself where the concepts are landing in your mind and heart and where they’re not. You will have two assessments throughout your certification track.

Coaching Sessions

Most important to anyone who wants to be at their best is direct feedback. This is where coaching sessions come in.

We’ll meet and, together, watch a recent sermon of yours. You’ll receive feedback that will give you clarity on what you’re excelling at and what you can work on to improve your next message.

Is this scary? It can feel that way. But this is truly required to be at your best. You’ll have two coaching sessions throughout your certification track. One toward the beginning and one toward the end.

When you complete the certification program

You’ll have:

→ Unshakeable, godly confidence in God’s calling and in your preaching craft.

→ An entire year’s worth of sermons planned out.

→ A plan to regularly write heart-piercing messages.

→ Expert communication skills to deliver dynamic, engaging, joy-filled gospel messages.

→ The conviction and know-how to preach for transformation – nothing less.

You get all of that when you enroll today

Are You Ready to Grow Your Preaching Craft?

Sticky Sermons Academy isn't a collection of lectures on preaching theory.

It's no fluff, tried and true strategies to save time and preach with more impact.

At a fraction of the cost of Seminary

It's normal to face $600+ per credit hour kind of prices if you were to go back to Seminary to take another preaching course. So multiply $600 by 3 credit hours and, well, even us preachers can do that math.

That's $1,800 for a preaching course at a Seminary!

Honestly, it's wild how costly Seminary has become. Just look at this:

But here's the good news...

While this course is Seminary-level instruction, you won't be paying Seminary-level tuition.

So, are you ready to grow in your preaching?

You're moments away from stepping on the path to:

  • Discovering and honing your preaching voice
  • Developing efficient, repeatable sermon prep systems
  • Crafting sticky sermon content with tools + frameworks
  • Writing sermons that stick every single time
  • Mining for gospel gold, no matter the passage
  • Delivering sermons with power
  • Mastering the art of communication

Listen, if you're hesitant, I get it. You're probably thinking, do I even have the time or money to invest in a preaching course?

Here's what I know: I've never regretted investing in my preaching craft. Ever.

And I don't think you will either.

Don't forget, you're joining risk-free. You have an entire month to jump in, implement what I teach you, and determine if it's right for you.

Beyond that, the key is to make a plan for how you will make time to do this important work.

Go through it one lesson at a time and work on implementing this process with each sermon you preach. And go back to each lesson to solidify any parts of the process that are more difficult for you.

Your preaching could be transformed. The only thing holding you back is a plan and some hard work. I'll give you the plan and if you bring the hard work, this will be a great fit.Â
