Become a successful preacher . . .
Research and personal experience demonstrate that
people tune in to authoritative speakers. That’s how dictators
– both political and religious – succeed. Why?
Deep down, people feel like ‘lost sheep.’
The biblical message is nothing if it’s not authoritative; it’s
what people want.
People haven’t changed. The product hasn’t
changed. But the ‘lost sheep’ are not hearing the message.
Too often, the preacher is preaching to the choir;
there’s not a ‘lost sheep’ in sight. Why? Where are they?
Perhaps the problem is in the packaging: wrong place,
wrong strategy. Sometimes the packaging is distracting, and sometimes even
unintentionally misleading.
UMAC can help you package the message and deliver it
– so that those who need to hear will hear it. They’ll be
happy. You’ll be a successful preacher.
