Next-Level Preaching
Preaching is simultaneously a gift of the Spirit and a craft that can be honed through critical reflection, experimentation, and effort. This course aims to empower and equip preachers of all levels of pastoral experience to take their preaching to the next-level—whatever that means for them. Through video lectures, reflection opportunities, and exposure to new homiletical methods and theologies of preaching, participants will receive the support and challenge needed to enhance their engagement with scripture, their engagement with their local and global contexts, and to reassess how their particular talents, life experiences, and personality quirks may support preaching styles that are organic to who God has made them to be.

Leah D. Schade Associate Professor of Preaching and Worship, Lexington Theological Seminary [email protected]; 610-420-6861 (cell; please text before calling) COURSE DESCRIPTION How can preachers help their parishioners move beyond the handshake following the sermon with the cordial response, “Nice talk, pastor”? This four-module, self-paced, online course will provide structures, strategies, and techniques for eliciting substantive feedback from sermon listeners. The goal is to both deepen the biblical and theological reflection of listeners and create channels for constructive critique enabling preachers to improve their sermons. Participants will learn how to cultivate a culture of deep listening that empowers their sermon listeners to engage with respectful yet robust responses to the sermon event and respond to God’s word together.
