Description

The purpose of this one-on-one/discipleship training is four-fold:

First, is to provide you an impartial, objective review of your preaching. This is accomplished by reviewing 5 sermons of your choice against a 60 point criteria. A 5 page report is provided.

Second, is to provide you practical training to improve your preaching. This is accomplished in person in a discussion format. We will focus on three areas: sermon preparation strategies, sermon delivery, and personal character development. Additionally, 3 preaching books will be personally selected targeting areas for improvement.

Third, hands on training in Logos. This is accomplished in person by reviewing and improving your study strategies using Logos Bible Software 4. We will not only improve your skill at using Logos Bible Software, but improve the way you study and prepare sermons with Logos Bible Software 4.

Fourth, after the personal training is accomplished, there will be 6 months of follow-up support. This includes additional sermon analysis and help to ensure you master the new study techniques with Logos 4 and the sermon development process.

This training is not for everyone. Therefore, an application process is necessary to ensure this training is a good fit.
