  • Preaching Confidence: How to Stay Calm When You’re Nervous
    Jan 19 2026

    Preaching tips to preach with confidence—even when you’re nervous.
    Pastors, church planters, and ministry leaders: if your hands are shaking before you step to the pulpit, this video gives 3 mindset shifts to calm stage fright and preach with clarity, peace, and spiritual authority.

    What you’ll learn
    Confidence from calling, not performance
    How “preaching to impress” fuels anxiety & burnout
    Why preparing your soul matters as much as preparing your sermon
    A simple pre-sermon routine to quiet nerves and focus on God

    Who this helps
    You feel nervous or anxious before preaching
    You struggle with people-pleasing in ministry
    You carry the emotional weight of leadership expectations
    You want to preach faithfully without burning out
    You’re new to preaching or church planting

    Key takeaway
    Preaching was never meant to be carried alone. When you shift your focus back to God’s calling—and away from people’s approval—you can preach with peace, courage, and clarity.

  • Unqualified to Preach? The Truth I Wish I Knew
    Jan 19 2026

    Ever felt unqualified to preach? Like you don’t have enough experience, education, or authority to stand behind a pulpit?

    I’ve been there — feeling like the least experienced person in the room, wondering if I even have the right to speak.

    But here’s the truth no one told me early on: God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.

    In this message, I’ll share 3 mindset shifts that will help you preach with confidence — even when you feel unqualified:

    1️⃣ How to stop copying others and find your preaching voice.
    2️⃣ How to handle criticism and let your fruit speak.
    3️⃣ How to preach to older believers with humility and authority.

    This video will help you stop shrinking back when you feel inexperienced — and start stepping up with biblical confidence.

  • The Biggest Mistakes New Preachers Make
    Dec 29 2025

    If you’re a new preacher, pastor, or church leader — this message is for you.

    In this episode, I share three common mistakes new preachers make that quietly hold back growth, confidence, and effectiveness in preaching. These are things I see again and again in sermon preparation, ministry leadership, and early preaching journeys.

    We talk about:
    • How poor sermon preparation (both under-preparing and over-preparing) can hurt your preaching
    • Why handling feedback the wrong way can drain your confidence and confuse your calling
    • And why preaching from unresolved personal struggles can slowly exhaust you instead of strengthen others

    My goal in this conversation is to help new pastors and preachers grow with clarity, preach with confidence, and lead from a place of spiritual health instead of burnout.

    This video is especially helpful if you are:
    • Learning how to preach for the first time
    • Writing your first sermons
    • Growing as a pastor, preacher, or church planter
    • Trying to improve sermon delivery and confidence
    • Wanting to lead a healthy, sustainable ministry

    If you’re serious about growing in preaching, ministry leadership, and church planting — I think this will encourage you.

    👉 Watch through the end — the final point is especially important if you’ve ever felt discouraged, stuck, or unsure why preaching feels heavier than it should.

    Let me know in the comments:
    Which of these mistakes do you relate to the most right now?
