What skills does it take to be a great communicator? What are the practices that proficient preachers and Bible teachers implement in order to effectively communicate the Word of God? After all, preachers and teachers are doing more than trying to convey a message. They are relying on the Holy Spirit to change people’s very lives.
Ed Stetzer sat down with 10 seasoned preachers and Bible teachers to learn what their practices are for crafting and delivering a message. Among the topics discussed were how to leverage storytelling, theories of structuring a sermon, the role of the Holy Spirit, and the function of the church in raising up young leaders.
As these conversations progressed, some surprising patterns emerged, as well as many unique insights. What stood out time and again is the zeal that our guests have for the Word of God and for helping people understand how much God loves them. This series will certainly benefit any preachers or Bible teachers who are passionate about serving others by improving their craft.
