Preaching Calendars Designed To Grow Your Church | Episode 3

47 minutes

Make your sermons more appealing and grow your church with a strategic preaching calendar. Hosts Tim Lucas and Lauren Bercarich share how to address people’s needs while capitalizing on seasonal trends and rhythms in American culture.

In this episode, we will walk through planning a preaching calendar for an entire year - going month-by-month to provide you with a clear map for the year ahead. Ultimately the goal is that we want to cooperate with and not compete with the calendar. Cooperating with the calendar means taking into consideration holidays, vacation patterns, the start of the school year, and much more. At the same time, you also need to understand people’s needs, habits, and behaviors, which are also seasonal. This is crucial for meeting people where they’re at.

To craft the best preaching calendar, you also need a multitude of distinctive voices and viewpoints around the table. Lead Pastors - you will be grateful for the creative ideas your colleagues bring to the conversation. This will make your life easier and your sermons better!

Listen in for your month-by-month preaching guide!
