Feedback can be a valuable tool for preachers who want to refine their craft and continually improve their sermons, but the reality is, many pastors aren’t receiving it. Why is that?
In this episode of Preaching Through Podcast, we unpack the critical role of feedback for preachers and address common barriers that keep pastors from seeking or receiving meaningful feedback. We explore the different kinds of feedback—before the sermon, between services, and after the fact—and how each serves a unique purpose in shaping sermons and preaching skills.
We dive deep into the questions: How do you get useful feedback? Who should be giving it? And what kind of feedback really helps a preacher grow without feeling overwhelmed or discouraged?
This episode also highlights the importance of having a feedback form and evaluation structure to guide sermon improvement, touching on practical ways to implement structured feedback in ministry settings. We offer insights into crafting evaluations that push preachers to their next level, helping them grow their skills and confidence. For anyone serious about getting better in the pulpit, feedback is non-negotiable—and this episode provides a roadmap for making it a productive part of your preaching journey.
Join us as we take a closer look at what good feedback looks like and why even imperfect feedback can have lasting value for preachers who are open to growth.
