Soul Preparation for Sunday Mornings

Sundays are a big day for the preacher! Not only are we delivering the sermon, but often times leading staff, coordinating volunteers, participating in public worship, welcoming visitors, greeting members and a million other things. We asked 8 previous guests on the podcast to send in an audio file that explains what they do behind the scenes, before the start of the day in order to prepare their hearts for a day of public ministry.
