How to Write and Preach Engaging Sermons

From start to finish, I walk you through my exact process of writing and preaching engaging sermons.
If there’s one thing you never set out to do when you preach, it’s bore people.
And yet, everyone who communicates, preaches, or even tries to persuade someone of an idea has discovered that sinking sense that you’ve lost your audience.
As pastors, a big part of being engaging and dynamic is what we do off-stage. In fact, I'd argue that our preparation (or lack thereof) makes or breaks most of our sermons.
So, do you ever wonder what other pastors do for sermon prep? And have you ever gone behind-the-scenes to see what that actually looks like?
Well today, I'd love to peel back the layers and show you what my sermon prep looks like in hopes it can help yours.
As you watch the video, you'll see pieces of the Cheat Sheet that tie into my sermon prep.
