There’s a young communicator here–how long do you think it will take for them to sound like “them”? It will differ for everyone.

Preaching is not a gig, not a performance. It is a way of life. And God is using us, in spite of ourselves. “Finishing well is the result of living well every day until you finish.” - Mark DeMoss
