FINDING YOUR VOICE
Find the Voice God Gave You — Not the One You Feel Pressured to Perform
A practical and spiritual deep dive for preachers who want to stop performing, start preaching authentically, and discover their God-given message.
You Were Called to Preach — So Why Does It Feel So Hard to Be Yourself?
- You don’t sound like the “great preachers” — and wonder if that disqualifies you
- Seminary gave you content — but not confidence
- You’re exhausted trying to live up to invisible expectations
- You don’t know if your real voice is even allowed in the pulpit
- You’re always wondering: “Am I doing this right? Or just copying someone else?”
If you’ve ever felt out of place behind a pulpit, this is the course you didn’t know you needed.
AOT Studio:
Finding Your Voice
Jon Tyson
“You wanna be a voice, and not just an echo.”
This Studio intensive is a 6-session journey into the spiritual, emotional and practical process of becoming the preacher God made you to be.
You’ll walk through the real, raw stages of voice formation — from imitation to practice, and contribution.
What You'll Learn:
- Move from imitation to authenticity through a deliberate process of learning from others without losing yourself in the journey
- Discern God's sovereign themes in your life — discover how your personal story, gifting, culture, and context combine to form your distinctive preaching voice
- Navigate the stages of voice development — from early imitation, through deliberate practice, to full personal contribution and innovation
- Integrate diverse influences with creative integrity — learn to honor your mentors and sources while authentically developing your unique style
- Align your on-stage and off-stage identity — build the hidden character and spiritual formation that makes your voice trustworthy and enduring
What Happens When You Preach with Your True Voice?
- You preach with more freedom and less fear
- Your content becomes more powerful, even if less polished
- You stop competing with imaginary expectations
- People start trusting your vulnerability, not just your authority
- You stop burning out trying to be someone you’re not
What If I’m Too Influenced by Other Voices?
We all start by imitating. This course walks you through how to move beyond it. You’ll learn how to honor your influences while becoming your own voice. It’s not about sounding unique—it’s about sounding like you
But What If I Don’t Have Time for Another Course?
- The sessions are short (10–25 minutes) and designed to fit into your week.
- You can go at your own pace — this is on-demand, lifetime access.
- Most pastors say this didn’t take time—it gave them back clarity and confidence.
But What If I’ve Been Preaching for Years?
This course isn’t just for beginners — it’s for any preacher ready to evolve. You’re never too seasoned to get sharper, more authentic, and more powerful.
But What If I’m Young or Inexperienced?
- Not polished enough? This course is made for preachers in progress.
- Feel too raw or young? That’s exactly where real voice begins.
- Worried about copying others? This will show you how to outgrow imitation — without shame.
- Afraid you don’t have a “life message”? That’s what we’ll help you uncover.
