Podcast Description
Your hosts, Scott Newton Smith (the evangelist) and Joel Southerland (the pastor), are on a mission to eliminate boredom in the pew and burnout in the preacher. They tackle the nuts-and-bolts of creating and delivering solid, practical, and engaging expository sermons as well as the tips, tools, and techniques for managing your busy ministry life as a pastor or church staff member. Whether you have been preaching for years or are just getting started, this podcast is your ongoing training, support and review. AND, if you're losing hair, nerves, or even your mind -- or maybe just want to kick up the productivity factor -- tune in for some good wisdom and advice delivered in an entertaining way. You CAN get your life back without quitting the ministry. And you can preach with increasing effectiveness, too. We give what seminary and conferences cannot: ongoing support.
