The AI webinar this morning was enlightening. We cannot fall into the trap of contracting out our pastoral duties to AI. If we do so, our flocks will suffer from a Spiritless diet of Bible teaching. Preach360 answers this problem well.

Hi everyone, I'm Bazliel joining you at 4:30 PM from Islamabad, Pakistan! I serve as the International Coordinator for an indigenous ministry here. We focus on mass soul-winning through 'Healing Streams' Mega Crusades, but my heart is currently heavy for the families we are rescuing from brick-kiln slavery. My biggest challenge right now: How do you effectively preach the 'Miraculous Freedom of Christ' to a family that has been a physical slave for a decade? I'm excited to learn from this community how to deepen our expository teaching for these new believers on the front lines!

Y'all let's give McKay some love with a subscribe if you haven't already! https://www.youtube.com/@Preach360-1

Friends I would appreciate your prayers right now. Our mother church is deciding to sell the building where we have currently been meeting at for the past 4 years. When we planted this church we were blessed with inheriting this property from a dying church. We are located in an ubran setting in the heart of Miami where many poor, broken, and marginalized people live, and our mother church and the council feels they are no longer able to cover our financial shortfall. They decided to relocate us to a different area in Miami as a replant with the proceeds of the sale being part of our fundraising campaign. Sunlight Miami is a thriving community of faith with influence in the community for the past 4 years but as a leadership team we understand the financial instability. But it's a tough situation to be in nonetheless. Pray that we can lead well and with love throughout this transition. That I can lead with discernment as many will lament and grieve the loss of many memories build and bridges built into this community. People coming to faith in Jesus, being liberated from addictions, and marriages being set free. I'm trusting Jesus out of a posture of rest and freedom that He will carry us through and that because of our union with Jesus and the resurrection of Jesus, the life of the Church does not depend on a place, but on a Person.

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.
