Preaching can be a lonely task—but it doesn't have to be.
We all need someone to encourage us in our ministry.
We need someone to challenge us to grow.
The Preaching Consultant is here to support you and to spur you on to better preaching.

What are you doing to grow as a preacher? What kind of steps can you take to improve your preaching skills?
Having a good story is only one part of successfully using stories in your preaching. How you use the story is equally important.
Having a preaching consultant is something that can make a huge difference for you as you work to improve your skills as a preacher. But what is a preaching consultant?
Preaching out loud is great for the development of your sermons. Don't believe me? Here's a couple reasons why.
The monologue is no longer accepted as the best form of preaching. In general, preaching is becoming more dialogical in nature. The question that remains is: how can you engage your audience in tangible ways?

Preaching was not my first passion. But today I am over the moon excited to work as a preaching consultant. Let me tell you how I got here.
“I love that Patrick came prepared for our sessions – he had already listened to my sermon multiple times and was ready with relevant questions and feedback. With these, Patrick helped me take my sermon apart, discover what was working, and put it back together. The process helped to clarify my strengths as a speaker and gave me some specific tools to use going forward.”
