We all know what it's like to spend hours preparing a sermon only to see people disengaged and not paying attention while we are preaching it. In this episode, we share 7 things you can do to keep people better engaged during your sermon.

Welcome to welcome to episode 210 of Practical Church Planting.

Here are the 7 tips we discuss:

• Start with a story
• Practice out loud beforehand
• One point per slide
• Preach as if there are non-believers in the room
• 35 minutes or less
• Include others in the sermon writing process
• Include at least 2-3 stories or illustrations
