Do you want your preaching to be more effective?<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Hire<\/a>Most pastors I know want to become more effective in their preaching.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

They want their congregation to be energized and encouraged by God\u2019s word.\u00a0 They want to give life to people through their preaching.\u00a0 They want all the hours they spend preparing for their message to count for their people. \u00a0Here’s the thing: most congregations I know also want their pastor’s preaching to be more effective!<\/h1>\n

<\/h1>\n
\n

The question is: How can you grow to\u00a0become\u00a0more effective in your preaching to help your congregation grow?<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Preaching more is not going to make you more effective.\u00a0 Even learning more about preaching is not going to make you a better preacher.\u00a0 If you really want to be more effective in your preaching, you need a coach.<\/strong>\u00a0 You need someone who will draw out your strengths and passions in preaching and help you shore up your weak spots.\u00a0 You need a coach who will walk with you<\/i> on your<\/i> journey of preaching\u00a0to your <\/i>congregation.<\/p>\n

Great athletes don\u2019t become great because they took a course on their sport.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h2>\n

They become great athletes because they have coaches who help them take better shots, throw better strikes, and kick better goals. \u00a0Pastors need coaches who will help them preach better sermons.<\/strong>\u00a0 If athletes spend so much of their time with coaches who bring the best out of them for a game, why don\u2019t pastors spend time with coaches who will bring the best out of them for their congregation?\u00a0 There is much more at stake for pastors in church than for athletes in a game. \u00a0Pastors can’t afford not to hire a coach.<\/p>\n

I struggled for a long time in my preaching because I was developing and giving sermons alone.\u00a0 It took its toll on me, my family, and my congregation.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t until I asked someone to coach me that I became more effective in my preaching. \u00a0My coach helped me hear where I\u00a0was strong\u00a0and where I needed help in my preaching.\u00a0 My coach helped me by bringing out the\u00a0best in\u00a0me.<\/p>\n

Pastors who hire a coach are more effective.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Pastors who hire\u00a0a coach are encouraged because they see more clearly\u00a0what their strengths\u00a0are in preaching, and they have the benefit of consistent, personal help as they seek to be\u00a0more effective through the whole process of preaching (in their study, content, delivery, and application).\u00a0\u00a0Pastors who hire a coach get the benefit of someone\u00a0who is 100% for their personal growth without harsh critique as well as someone who will bring out God’s\u00a0best in them. \u00a0Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned pro, every preacher needs to continue to grow in their preaching effectiveness. \u00a0The gospel demands that we continue to grow in our preaching. \u00a0Hiring a coach will\u00a0help you become more effective in reaching your community through your sermons.<\/p>\n
