TRANSCRIPT
========================================
So for young preachers, the question is, what do I do when I'm not preaching and being asked to preach? Because usually that's most of your life as a young preacher. You're not being asked to preach very much at all. And there are things to do that I'll go through in the episode as much as I can. For those that only watch the trailer, I'll go through for go through a few right now. Call every single nursing home within a 20 mile radius of where you live. Ask them if they have a preacher and if it would be okay if you would go there and sing and preach once a week or twice a week or something like that and schedule that. That's what you can do. You can ask your pastor, "Hey, brother so and so, what can I do around the church to help?" Anything at all. Ask your parents, "What can I do to help?" Anything at all. Ask everyone you know and literally help them. Because your duty, your approach as a young preacher is being effective as a preacher outside of the pulpit so that they'll put you in one. That's your position. We went through don't become brother spiritual. Now we'll go through like what do I actually do? And that's it. Preach at nursing homes. Pray. Live for others. Live a sermon. Study the word. You know, like yesterday, I just finished going through all of the sermons in 1947. I'm in the book of Luke listening to it from Alexander Scurby on audio. I I'm studying that. I'm studying with what brother Alistister Francis will say, what brother Trevor Amond will say and things like that and holding myself accountable to it. Listening in service. I'm saying amen. Doing whatever I can to the best of my ability and writing myself to God wherever I can. Taking things that I battle in my life and taking accountability for them and and changing them best that I can. That's all that you really can do. And that that's pretty much it. I I'll go through more details on on the uh on the episode, but it's up to you as a as a young preacher. You want to be effective. It isn't just about being behind the pulpit. It's about committing to an entire life of living a sermon. You don't get to have an ego as a preacher anymore. You sacrifice that for the sake of others. You don't get to be Mr. Wright anymore. You have to battle that. You have to be different. You'll be the butt of jokes. You'll be mocked. You'll be made fun of. You'll be hurt. But it's the most glorious thing you could possibly do as a preacher is to live for others. Jesus said, "Greater loveath no man than this, that he lays down his life for his friends." And that's not just about dying a death. That's about dying to your old self. That's about living your life with the sole pursuit and purpose of how can I best serve others? And one of those things that you can do too is have a hobby and do that hobby in your spare time because you need to be set. You need to optimize your entire self, spiritual, mechanical, and dynamics for the gospel of Jesus Christ.
