We all want to effectively communicate while preaching. However, some commonly used phrases can cause people to disengage. In this episode, we share seven preaching phrases to avoid.

Welcome to episode 233 of Practical Church Planting.

Here are the seven phrases we talk about in this episode:

• The Bible says
• We all know
• Turn in your Bibles (with no context)
• Naming people in your church (with no context)
• Any reasons as to why you're not prepared enough
• Anything that puts people on the defensive
• Apologizing for preaching on any specific topic
