What preachers have to say about Faithful & Fruitful Resources
Luke has been a terrific resource for me since 2016. I use his sermon evaluation forms and communication strategies as a tool for strengthening my skills as a communicator.
Luke has helped me become more like myself in pulpit; his insight and feedback has helped me close the gap between how I wanted to be experienced verses how I was experienced.
Working with Luke afforded me needed perspectives and ways to think about how to best lead in my context— all in real time. I avoided paying the price of slow growth and painful experiences.
Informative and challenging. I was introduced to new and different concepts, equipping me to communicate the Gospel with greater clarity and effectiveness.
I would recommend this to the preachers. I was able to look at my preaching from a macro level, be reminded of what’s important, and how to craft my sermons.
I wholeheartedly recommend this helpful course to someone who has been preaching 10 years or less. I grew. I was sharpened. Overall this was a very beneficial course.
What a great set of tools I was given to evaluate and work on the craft God has called me to. I recommend The Preaching Lab.
This has been life changing! Preaching has become more fun! My sermon length has decreased. I’m saying more in less time. Thank you.
This has been so incredibly practical and helpful. The discussion about accountability was helpful, as were the insights about strengths and weaknesses. Thanks for making this available.
The landmines were insightful and I like that books were referenced as well. I also found in interesting about the difference kinds of meetings. Will be sharing all that was taught. Thanks so much!
Excellent. Full of meaningful content. Thank you for this resource. I took lots of notes re: ambiguity, meetings, and transition.
The simple and wise insights will be a staple for me in the future. Hopefully I will have the chance to use it as I bring up preachers to come after me. I’ve particularly benefited from hearing how you prepare a sermon, preach through a sermon calendar, and deal with feedback.
