If you’re about to preach your first sermon, I get it.
You’ve prayed, you’ve prepared, you’ve practiced — and still, there’s that weight in your chest that whispers, “What if I’m not ready?”

In this video, I’m sharing what I wish someone had told me before my first sermon — the things that would’ve saved me so much pressure, fear, and self-doubt.

You’ll learn:
💡 Why your first sermon doesn’t have to be perfect — it just has to be faithful.
💡 How to deal with the nerves that hit right before you step up.
💡 What to do after your sermon — the part nobody really talks about.

Because here’s the truth: your first sermon isn’t a test of how gifted you are; it’s a step of obedience.
And when you shift your focus from perfection to faithfulness, the pressure lifts — and you get to preach from a place of peace.

So whether you’re preaching for the first time or mentoring someone who is, this video will help you breathe a little easier and remember: God’s not asking you to be impressive. He’s asking you to be obedient.
