The Preaching Collective Launching February 2025
Whether you’re a first-time preacher or have years of experience under your belt, sermon preparation can feel isolating. It’s often just you, your Bible, and a blank page, with no one around to bounce ideas off or share the weight of the task. But imagine having a group of people who truly understand the highs and lows of preaching, ready to collaborate, encourage, and grow with you. How would that change your confidence, your message and your ministry?
If you can relate so far, we would love for you to consider applying to our Preaching Cohort launching in early 2025. Our Cohort begins with a focused weekend retreat that sets the stage for ongoing of collaboration, mentorship, and skill development. Keep reading to learn how you can get involved.
A Case for Collaboration
If you're a minister, you know the phrase "Sunday's always coming." It's one of those fun phrases that remind us that no matter how great last Sunday was, you're always six days away from planning the next one. And even though music choice, scripture readings and prayer all require your attention, the piece that takes the most amount of time and energy every week is planning your sermon.
Preaching Refresher - Session 2
The biblical text lies at the heart of preaching. How do we enter into the text in creative ways that will allow us to speak a fresh word to our communities? We will explore playful approaches to exegesis and preaching that will inspire and revitalize your relationship with the biblical text.

Preaching Refresher
From Guest Writer: Rev. Dr. Sarah Travis “A novice preacher recently remarked to me that they would benefit from more preaching courses. I responded, “So would I!” As a professor of preaching, I am aware that there is more to learn about preaching sermons than one can learn in a lifetime. “
