Preaching masterclass
Welcome to the Preaching Masterclass
Here you will find Ian White’s films about the art of preaching.
In these films he takes you from the moment of staring at a blank screen to the moment in time when you preach your completed talk or sermon. Along the way you’ll discover a process that Ian uses in his own preparation and we hope it will inform your own practice.
We are releasing the films from May – September 2023 at weekly intervals. You can get hold of them either by checking back here or by subscribing to the YouTube channel here:

Enjoy!
