Welcome to the Preach360 Community! Our goal is to help you preach the fullness of God's grace in Jesus by drafting biblically rich, gospel-focused sermons with the Preach360 Sermon Studio, which guides pastors step by step through the sermon-building process using the Bible’s own sermon outline—the PPGR 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).
Evaluating your sermons

Word Count Utility
We are also working on an issue where Preach360 doesn't respect the word count you indicate at sermon set up. We found the bug and are squashing it as we speak. 🐞
Preach360 v2.7.0 is live!
This release focuses on helping you preach with greater pastoral precision, dig deeper into the text, and export your work seamlessly. - Listener Personas: You can now assign up to three real listeners to any sermon. Choose from 10 ready-made presets or build custom personas with seven custom fields. The AI coaches you specifically toward these listeners throughout the PPGR movements. Your chosen personas automatically roll forward into your next sermon and connect directly with the sermon series planner to keep your preparation focused. - The Listener Take-a-Way Review: Evaluate how your message impacts your targeted audience before Sunday. The new review step asks what each named listener would take away from the sermon and highlights potential blind spots. - "Go Deeper" Exegesis Drill-Down: Highlight any portion of text inside the exegesis guide to generate deeper studies nested right underneath it, keeping the rest of your study completely intact across reloads. - Deep Research for Target Audiences: Use the new "Run Deep Research" tool during setup to generate editable contextual summaries that feed directly into the Problem and Gospel steps. - Native PDF Export: Export cleanly formatted PDF documents from any pane alongside Word and Markdown. Built to stay locked on tablets for preaching and provide consistent formatting for AV teams. Join me for our weekly live workshop on Wednesday at 11:00 AM ET. This week's workshop is being hosted on our Skool community. Go here for the link. As always, if you hit a snag or find a bug, let me know with a Support Ticket
Anchor Illustrations
What is an anchor image you've used recently that you found helpful? How did it carry the passage from beginning to end. Examples of these cases really help new folks see what anchor illustrations are and how they work. I'll go first. In a sermon on Psalm 51, I used the image of someone knocking on the front door while you're sorting dirty laundry in the den. What do you do? Hide? What if you could be free enough to open the door and say, "Come on in, excuse the mess." This carried because I was able to come back to the image over and over, the emotional issues related to it, and the concrete action of opening the door. The mess is real. Confessing the mess is hard. Jesus comes in to clean the mess for us. Now, we can be real, confessing the mess but celebrating the one who bore the stench in my place.
