A preacher friend of mine said,
"Every week feels like a sprint to Sunday... I want to preach faithfully, but I’m tired of scraping sermons together at the last minute."
I know that feeling.
For years, I lived in a cycle of sermon panic. Some weeks I had ideas, other weeks I was empty. I bounced between YouTube, commentaries, old outlines, and late-night prayer sessions just hoping something would stick.
But no matter how hard I worked, I felt like I was barely keeping my head above water.
The stress never stopped. The preparation felt random. The results were inconsistent.
And the guilt? It was heavy.

Constant stress
Late-night writing

Clear rhythm each week
Better sermons in less time
Spirit-led structure that works
Space to breathe (and rest)
Confidence behind the pulpit
Joy in the Word again
