The Truth about Preaching Today
The weekly call to preach God's Word and shepherd hearts is among the most beautiful work on earth. It’s sacred and relentless. The research is in and it's sobering to say the least.
91% of pastors have/will experience burnout. Not stress. Not busy seasons. Burnout.
The average seminary-trained pastor only lasts five years.
90% of pastors (including seminary-trained) say they haven't received adequate training in preaching.
80% won't be in ministry ten years from now.
If you're spending 13+ hours every week preparing sermons, if you're up late Saturday nights scrambling to finish your message, if ministry is slowly eroding your marriage and family life…
We’re here to tell you, the problem isn't your calling. It's your method.
There's a
Better Way
Imagine having a clear, repeatable system for sermon preparation.
Picture cutting your prep time in half while actually improving your sermons.
What if you could preach with confidence every week, knowing exactly where you're going and how to get there?
This isn't just about preaching better sermons. This is about developing sustainable ministry practices that feed your soul while you feed your flock.
The AOT: Foundations MasterClass is the complete preaching framework you never received — built by pastors who've walked this path and developed a proven framework that actually works.

AOT: Foundations MasterClass
— Your Sustainable Preaching Framework
This is where transformation begins. The complete system that moves you from overwhelmed to confident, from scattered to structured.
John Mark
Comer's Preaching Framework
(10 Sessions)
John Mark breaks down the architecture of transformation-focused preaching:
- Preaching for Spiritual Formation — Because if your preaching isn't forming souls, what's the point?
- The 3 C's of Teaching — Character isn't just important; it's everything. You are both your church's greatest asset and its greatest potential danger.
- Sermon Architecture & Design — Move beyond "term paper preaching" to narrative structures that actually engage hearts, not just minds.
- Movements, Chunks, and Seams — Learn to construct sermons like a film director constructs scenes. Seamless. Compelling. Impossible to tune out.
- Manuscripts vs. Outlines vs. Extemporaneous — Discover your authentic delivery style with three maxims: clarity is paramount, avoid clichés, assume your audience is intelligent.
- Feedback & Editing — The difference between good sermons and great sermons. This is where transformation happens.
Jon Tyson's Sermon Prep & Delivery System
(6 Sessions)
Jon's approach transforms how you think about sustainable preaching:
- Clarifying Your Vision for Preaching — Get clear on why you preach before you figure out how.
- Understanding Your Audience — Especially crucial for engaging Millennials and Gen Z who expect authenticity over polish.
- Planning a Preaching Calendar — Strategic planning that prevents the weekly scramble.
- Preparing a Sermon (Parts 1 & 2) — A complete system from text to delivery.
- Preaching with Prayer — Because spiritual power matters more than public speaking skills.
