ADVICE

Review Yourself Regularly

  • Watch and listen to recordings of your sermons to spot distracting gestures and repeated words.
  • Use those observations to remove habits that undermine clarity and focus.
ADVICE

Solicit Honest Feedback

  • Ask mature, loving people (staff or elders) to give precise feedback on your sermons.
  • Use that feedback to correct issues like timing, repetition, and inappropriate intensity.
