Short, practical conversations about preaching, leadership, church life, and the realities of pastoral ministry. I’m sharing some of what I’ve learned, and what I’m still learning, in hopes of helping other pastors along the journey.
Lessons from the journey, for the journey.
Episode 2: Stop Trying to Say Everything in One Sermon – Pastor to Pastor with Mike Wooton
Preachers often try to fit everything they’ve learned into one sermon. In this episode, Mike talks about learning to stay with the text, avoiding rabbit trails, doing the hard work of exegesis, and becoming an editor in the pulpit. Sometimes the sermon gets stronger when things disappear. The goal isn’t to give people everything you know, it’s to give them something they won’t forget. Email me at revmikewoo@gmail.com
