Nathan and Thomas continue the conversation about preaching when you are not the pastor.
- When you want to preach more
- Be patient. Trust takes time to build. And you might be a great preacher, but you probably need some rough edges worked off.
- Be prepared and take it seriously. If it is teen church every time the youth pastor preaches, he will likely get limited opportunities.
- Take every opportunity (Youth group, Sunday school, nursing home, jail ministry) and use each to communicate God’s word clearly. No “it is just” attitudes.
- Preaching irregularly is not conducive to my style
- Spend the time to be ready anyway.
- Embrace the struggle and craft a series that build but do not require consecutive weeks.
- Seek feedback
- From your pastor. You might not like it or agree but it is good for you to hear where you can do better.
- If your pastor is not interested in giving feedback, find some honest friends and help each other.
- Listen to your own messages.
- Be humble!
- Be careful reusing messages
- Don’t broadcast that you are repreaching something.
- Do the work to make it fresh.
- Be yourself when you preach.
- Be grateful for every opportunity. God called your pastor to that pulpit, he doesn’t have to share.

- Preaching When You're Not the Pastor Pt 1
Nathan and Thomas talk about some philosophies for preaching when you are not the pastor.
- Be ready when called
- Your job as the assistant, youth pastor, or whatever is to help your pastor fulfill his job, including when you preach.
- Is your pastor in a season where health is a struggle? Have something finished, polished, and ready to preach at a moment’s notice.
- Write down the passages and main thoughts when the Spirit gives insight.
- Don’t say no. Most preachers are not lazy, so they are asking you because they need help or they were led to ask you. Either way, it makes sense to say yes.
- Your job as the assistant, youth pastor, or whatever is to help your pastor fulfill his job, including when you preach.
- Stay in your lane
- Don’t preach to fix the problems. (shear the sheep)
- Don’t say what your pastor wouldn’t
- Don’t disparage or make your pastor the bad guy. If you can, lift him up by making him the hero of your stories.
- Don’t correct doctrine- not your job.

Episode 24 Pt. 2 - Jude talks to us about determining a budget for your mixing console. The budget should follow the need. It is stated several times that it is better to wait for Jesus to provide to meet the need instead of rushing and compromising on quality that you will regret later.
Finally, Jude talks about mastering what you have. No amount of money is going to cover for a sound tech struggling with the basics. Jude has some great resources on his Youtube channel, Audio Buff.

Episode 24 Pt. 1 - Jude Buffington joins us on the first part helping us to decide what we need when looking for a new mixing console.
Jude starts by encouraging us to define the need. What mixer you bring home will likely depend on many factors including the style of your church services. When you look closely at what you need you might find that a soundboard is not the priority. Instead, you might do better to invest in training, mics, or a host of other options.
Jude goes on to talk about analyzing the options. You decided you need a mixer, your budget should not be the first thing to consider. Instead, look at the options and find what your church needs. Need a more familiar, linear, analog mixer? Or the digital with all of its menus and presets? Are you using it to live stream?
Jude shares a few of his favorite brands to use. These include Shure, Electro-Voice, Allen & Heath, and Soundcraft.
Finally, Jude shares a concern that he has with church leaders upgrading technology in order to get struggling sound techs to quit. He makes the claim that church leaders should confront issues with grace and Christian love and that techs should accept direction with grace and humility. We are all on the same team, trying to accomplish the same goals.
