Summary

In today’s episode, we’re talking all about what it means to preach like a human. If you’ve ever felt like you need to sound like someone else to be effective—this is for you. I’m sharing how comparison and mimicry can steal your confidence, and why your quirks, your tone, your pace—your actual personality—are not obstacles, but part of your pulpit. God didn’t call the polished version of you; He called you. We’ll break down why authority flows through authenticity, and I’ll even give you a two-minute challenge to help you start finding your voice today. Let’s ditch the pressure and get real.

0:00.0	Welcome back to The Art of Preaching. I am Habla Kennington and today we are jumping into our second
0:06.5	episode of the series that we're doing, a two-part series on the art of preaching. And so last week we

0:36.2	a pulpit for two decades or three
0:38.2	decades. The goal is communication, preaching is not one and done. It's something we have to continue
0:44.1	to grow in and to become so we can have that heart connection along with the head knowledge. So all
0:50.3	that's really going to matter. And today, you're going to love today because I don't know about you.

1:02.4	We love the way they do humor and maybe how articulate they are.
1:06.4	And I don't know about you, but there's a lot of times that I've thought, if I could sound like

1:16.1	Wow, you know, I could really be in the call of God.
1:18.9	And the truth is, you weren't meant to sound like your favorite preacher.
