Preachers can sabotage themselves if they never listen back to their own sermons. In this milestone 400th episode, Pastor Ryan Marr of Calvary Chapel St. Petersburg explains why reviewing your delivery is essential, how seminary reshaped his confidence, and why finding your authentic voice matters more than copying others.

Across 21 years of ministry, Ryan has learned to slow down, breathe between thoughts, and let Scripture first confront him before he speaks to others. He shares candid stories about nervous habits, feedback from congregants, and the challenge of applying “watch your life and your doctrine” in the pulpit.

Highlights

Practical ways to reduce filler words and pace your message
Why application must begin with the preacher
How to receive criticism without being crushed
The long journey to finding your own voice
