Here is some practical encouragement if your last sermon wasn’t great.

Pastors are not mere consumables.

You can learn from anyone if you are willing to listen (or read).

I’ve known many pastors who have taught from a place of love. I’ve know very few pastors who I could say, loved me so deeply they gave me their self too. But for those who have loved me like that— I would follow them into any battle.

Your faithfulness in this season of waiting is just as powerful, meaningful, and precious to the Lord as what you do with the dreams, gifts, and platforms He gives you later. So prepare well.

People need pastors with informed minds and hearts that have been tendered by life.
