Haddon Robinson is one of my preaching heroes, and one of the biggest influencers on my preaching, even though I never had the privilege of meeting him. He was the author of one of the best books ever written on preaching (Biblical Preaching, now into its third edition), and he mentored my professors who then passed on his philosophy and legacy to me.
As a teenager, he heard a famous preacher speak one evening in church. Afterwards, he wrote in his diary,
“He preached for an hour and it seemed like twenty minutes; others preach for twenty minutes and it seems like an hour. I wonder what the difference is?”
In Connect (the follow-on seminar to my introductory preaching seminar Preach), we explore seven key habits of great preachers that help them connect with their audiences. We will examine these key qualities that are habitually practised by great preachers but often forgotten by other communicators. While helpful for those just starting out on the preaching adventure, this seminar is ideal for those who have been preaching for some time but may be in need of refreshment and revitalisation.
Please note that I strongly suggest that teams take my Preach seminar as an introductory course together, before signing up for Connect.
Connect is currently under development, and will be ready sometime in 2024. For more information please click on the box below.
"Brad is not only an inspirational preacher,
he is also highly effective at teaching the art of preaching.
Through his preaching seminars Brad has passed on his wisdom, extensive experience
and strong biblical approach which has been so beneficial for our teaching team and for me personally."
