I shared the link with several pastor friends. Not sure if they popped on. Been trying to get my brother-in-law to try it. He signed up for a trial period (Rob Cord)

Welcome to the Preach360 Community! Our goal is to help you create margin for life & ministry by drafting biblically rich, gospel-focused sermons in a single afternoon with the Preach360 Sermon Studio, which guides pastors step by step through the sermon-building process using the PPGR preaching framework. ☕️ A COMMUNITY VS A LIBRARY Preach360 is designed to be a pastoral community, not just a personal library. Real growth happens when we learn together, share wins, acknowledge challenges, and genuinely engage with one another. To encourage participation, I'm going to use the "gamification" features built into Skool's "leaderboard," not to pressure anyone, but to facilitate connection in a fun way. How to Level Up on the Board. It’s simple. Introduce yourself, ask questions, and encourage others. Engagement is our way of ensuring this remains a vibrant, supportive fellowship of pastors, rather than a quiet library. 👋 IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW ME My name is McKay Caston. Over 30 years as a pastor, author, and seminary professor, I've served churches of different sizes in urban, suburban, rural, and college-town contexts, with my last pastoral call as a church planter in Dahlonega, GA. My life mission is to help pastors preach cross-tethered sermons and live cross-tethered lives. I've been married for 35 years and have three adult children. When not here, I enjoy time at home and hiking the mountains of north Georgia. 🚦 Basic community "guidelines." 1. This is a safe place. 2. This is not a place for political rants. 3. Be constructive. 4. Honor confidentiality. 5. No solicitation or spam. HERE ARE YOUR NEXT STEPS: ✅ Step 1: Introduce yourself in the comments section below 1. Who are you & where are you serving? (City/State/Country) 2. What is your current preaching context? (Solo pastor, church planter, staff, student?) 3. What is your biggest challenge with sermon prep right now? 4. Drop a link to your church website and/or sermons (optional).

1. Chris Talley, church planter and pastor of LakewayPres.org in Morristown, TN (located in the Upper TN Valley between Knoxville and the Tri-Cities and situated in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains between two TVA Lakes). 2. Im a solo pastor, and church planter though I have been blessed with a second pastoral apprentice, the first is now serving in RUF. I also have a RUF campus minister in our congregation who serves on Carson Newman University campus. 3. My biggest challenge is (a) time [I am co-vocational as I work with a local Christian school full-time], and (b) distraction [both from the tech revolution we are are living through and from personality tendencies, I have to work on my focus as I am interested in so many things]. Cross-tethered preaching has been a game-changer for me. I was chronically finishing my sermon early Sunday mornings, but now have it completed between Tuesday and Thursday every week. That has been life-giving and encouraging to me and my church. 4. LakewayPres.org and I'll come back and drop in my upcoming sermon when I have it in 2.0 version. We're going through the first half of Luke's gospel this year asking Who is Jesus?

@Tim Jackson for the first six years of my church plant work in Morristown Tennessee. I was always finishing my sermon on Saturdays and sometimes early Sunday mornings and thanks to preach 360 and McKay Caston‘s coaching. I now get done somewhere between Tuesday or Wednesday occasionally Thursday and my sermon prep and delivery has just got so much better just given more space for other important ministry as a planter!

Preaching voice experiment
So I got a wild idea that I am trying this week. I often work a lot on my manuscript coming out of the PPG work to get it into my voice. I went on Claude and played around with developing a prompt. Claude asked to upload 20 handcrafted sermons I've done in the past to analyze my voice and style. I've used that to help get my Preach360 manuscript way closer to what I normally do, and I'm pretty stunned with the outcome. For one thing, it was pretty interesting to have Claude analyze my voice and style and to describe it. It was very spot on. And the output is pretty uncanny after I ran it. Has anyone else played around with this?
