Good morning, I am excited to announce that I will preach this Sunday with the Preach 360. This Wednesday's workshop helped me plan and be done by Thursday afternoon. Especially this week, first time back-to-back preaching on Sundays. - Principle: Faith is not anchored in a situation, but in a person that sustains us when we go through any circumstance. - Problem: When life feels out of control, our struggle is that we place our faith in our own ability to manage the storm rather than resting in Jesus, which only leads to fear and sinking. - Gospel: Jesus walked into the ultimate storm of sin and death on the cross, enduring the waves of God's wrath in our place, so that our faith can rest securely in His finished work of rescue and reconciliation. - Response: Because Jesus took our ultimate storm, the Holy Spirit frees us to stop relying on our own doing and instead fix our faith on the One who is sovereign over every situation. Matthew 14:22-33

If preaching the gospel is a privilege, why does it often feel like a burden? In this week's training, we'll discuss this question and propose a solution. You'll discover why 4 hours of guided prep is better than 12 hours of scattered study. I'll also demo the process with the all-new Preach360™ online sermon studio. Here is the replay!

Great to be back and Learn more about the PPGR. Mckay, I am excited to learn more about preach360, thank you for accepting me.

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?

Drop a link to your church website and/or sermons (optional).
