Preaching Workshop

As a Pastor, parish priest or deacon, you have the privileged opportunity to preach in a manner that is life changing, as it invites and guides your listener to have a transformational encounter with Christ. Unfortunately, despite this tremendous opportunity, many priests and laity report experiencing lack luster and ineffective homilies week after week, and, as a result, people are left unengaged, a vision for evangelization is not cast, and disciples are not made. “Our people will starve spiritually if they are only being fed mediocre messages.”
In response to this challenge, Divine Renovation has published the book, Preaching on Purpose, and this accompanying Preaching Workshop to guide preachers, empowering them to craft and deliver impactful homilies that preach the kerygma, call forth a response from the hearer, celebrate and form disciples, and cast vision. Enrolling in this course, you will engage in a systematic 10 week, 7 session course, that, accomplishing the above list, will form you into a missional preacher. Join us and begin to deliver “strategic preaching that pierces hearts, inspires personal conversion to Jesus, unleashes missionary disciples, and helps the entire parish break out of maintenance to ignite the world through the power of the Gospel.” Your engagement in this course will enhance the Sunday experience and lead your community to a renewed encounter with Christ and His Church.
