5 Critical Things Every Pastor Needs to Grow

Have you ever wondered why some pastors seem to preach effective, compelling sermons on a consistent basis, and others struggle to get the sermon written and preached?

Is it that these preachers are smarter than the rest?

From what I’ve seen there is no ideal IQ or educational experience that can predict preaching success.

Is it that they have more time than other preachers? Maybe their days are 25 hours long? 😉

Nope. Everyone has the exact same amount of time. 

Or is it that they have a big personality and that’s all it takes?

Personality may get you places, but it won’t get you all the way. To preach compelling, clear, Spirit-led, actionable, killer sermons consistently you’re going to need more than the force of your personality.

What every successful preacher needs is simple:

A calling from God and a desire to reach people.

Preaching, at its root, can be boiled down to those two things.

But I know what you’re thinking, if it were that simple, then every preacher would see tons of life-change as a result of their preaching!

And you’re right – there is more to it.

Beyond a calling and a desire to fulfill that calling, there are actually 5 things all effective preachers need to do:   

1. Define their goals – They know what they want out of their preaching.
2. Identify their frustrations – They can name exactly what is holding them back.
3. Overcome preaching roadblocks – They work on eliminating destructive mindsets and distractions.
4. Master sermon preparation – They optimize their time spent preparing by doing the most important things in the best order.
5. Master the art of sermon delivery – They preach for life-change week after week.

These steps have been crucial in my preaching and in those I’ve coached. But these steps are easier said than done. They require a relentless pursuit, training, and dedication. 

And that’s why I created Killer Sermons Academy – to give you those 5 critical preaching growth levers.
