For the last six weeks, I had the privilege of leading an intensive with our pastors, elders, ministers, and members of our congregation. Something beautiful happened. People who had never preached before stepped up and preached. Seasoned ministers sharpened their delivery. Everyone grew. It reminded me of something… Preachers need community. Too many people are trying to develop their voice in isolation. They have a calling, but no coaching. They have passion, but no place to practice. They have something to say, but no one helping them sharpen how they say it. I want to change that. I don’t just want to create another preaching course. I want to build a preaching community. A safe place where preachers can grow, receive feedback, develop confidence, strengthen biblical communication, and become better stewards of the message God has entrusted to them. So let me ask… Where are the preachers? If you’ve ever preached a sermon… If you’ve ever taught a Bible study… If you feel called to preach… Or if you simply want to become a stronger communicator of God’s Word… Drop a 🙋🏾‍♂️ or comment “PREACHER” below. I’m putting something together specifically for you, and I want to know who’s in this community. Let’s raise the standard of preaching together.

The Mystery of Mentorship When Elijah first encountered Elisha, he didn’t leave the mantle with him. He threw it on him for a moment… and then he took it back. Then he kept walking. That moment has always fascinated me because it reveals one of the greatest mysteries of mentorship. Mentorship isn’t designed for convenience. It’s designed for pursuit. Elisha had to leave what was familiar, catch up with the man of God, keep pace with him, stay connected to him, and refuse to let the opportunity slip away. Growth often comes through what I call the ministry of inconvenience. The conversations that require sacrifice. The moments that require consistency. The opportunities that require pursuit. The relationship that requires you to keep showing up. Here’s a principle I never want you to forget: You only receive value from the things you place value on. Read that again. The level of value you place on mentorship determines how much you receive from it. If mentorship is an afterthought, you’ll receive an afterthought’s reward. But if you highly value wisdom… If you highly value correction… If you highly value proximity… If you highly value quality conversations and quality time… …you’ll begin extracting treasures that casual observers never find. People often ask, “What’s the secret?” This is one of them. Honor creates capacity. Value creates receptivity. Pursuit creates transformation. So let me ask you: Where are you trying to grow? What wisdom do you need in this season? What are you believing God to develop in your life? Drop your answers in the comments. I want to know where you’re headed so we can grow there together.
