  • “The workshop was validating to what the Lord has been doing and saying to me. It seems as if this technique can be a way of catharsis for pastors. I felt the Lord ministering to my spirit as I went through the exercises.”

  • “The connection between the presenter and the audience was really valuable. I would have loved more time to hear even more. It was a very interesting experience, very enriching and impactful.”

  • I believe signing up for the Faithful Preaching Project and attending these workshops has been the greatest learning experience since I have become a pastor. The workshops have been very professionally done by speakers who presented ideas and information clearly and concisely.

  • “This workshop helped me be present in my body and really helped me embrace my authentic voice.”

  • “I feel encouraged to try some new approaches and sermon forms. One of my goals for this year is to improve my sermons, and this workshop definitely set my sail in that direction! Thank you!”

  • “The workshop reminded I am charged to deliver God's message with wise, informed preparation in the unique way God has gifted me!”

  • What was most valuable about the workshop content was the emphasis on preaching with confidence and courage, regardless of the outcome. It reminded me that faithfulness is measured by obedience to God’s Word, not by visible results or audience response.

  • The teaching helped me shift my focus from worrying about how people might react to concentrating on proclaiming the truth clearly and boldly. I was encouraged to trust that God is responsible for the results, while my responsibility is to handle the text accurately and preach it with conviction.
