In this episode of Revitalize and Replant, Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst reflect on an article by Chuck Lawless that offers a convicting and practical self-examination for pastors preparing to preach.

12 Preaching Preparation Questions:
  1. Have I spoken to God regularly and honestly this week? 
  2. Have I spoken lovingly to my spouse and children? 
  3. Have my words been truthful? 
  4. Have I said anything inappropriate or off-color? 
  5. Have I spoken the biblical text aloud during preparation? 
  6. Have I tried to impress anyone with my words? 
  7. Have I spoken poorly of anyone? 
  8. Have I had gospel conversations with non-believers? 
  9. Do I need to ask forgiveness from anyone? 
  10. Do I need to confess any sin today? 
  11. Have I asked others to pray for my preaching? 
  12. Have I thanked God for the privilege of preaching His Word?
