Your Personal
Sermon Coach
Radically Improving Every Sunday Sermon
Does your congregation remember what your last Sunday sermon was about? Do they really? Statistics show that by Monday morning most sermon points have been forgotten. Pastors are constantly challenged to make their sermons relevant and memorable. So why are many messags quickly forgotten, never to be thought about again? And what's the secret to preaching unforgettable sermons that result in changed lives? For you, the solution could be working with a seasoned sermon coach who has decades of experience creating unforgettable Sunday sermons.

Designing a sermon is crucial if you want your people to put those truths to action throughout the week.
