This special preaching workshop is designed by Dr Jackie Roese to build confidence and skills in those ready to give themselves to the sacred work of proclaiming God’s Word effectively. In this cohort of learners, we learn to study, prepare, and deliver a transformative 20-minute biblical message in dependence on God’s Spirit and in a community of peer-learners. We will also discuss the internal issues that can cause us to doubt ourselves and withhold our giftedness, including cultural, family and church background.

Jackie has taught the Scriptures and trained others to do the same for 30 years out of her own love for Jesus and His Word. In 2008 she was the first female to serve on the Sunday morning preaching team at a large church in Dallas, Texas. With degrees from Dallas Seminary and Gordon-Conwell Seminary, she has done thoughtful and fruitful writing and teaching on the important and relevant topic of women in the evangelical church. In 2012, Jackie founded The Marcella Project, an organization committed to reshaping our view of women and to ennobling women through Scripture-focused teaching, training, and dialogue. She loves to see sisters and brothers in Christ partnering together in their giftedness to strengthen Christ’s church. She and her husband Steve have 3 adult children.

Don’t let fear hold you back! With our supportive environment and expert guidance, you’ll begin to unleash your potential as a lover of God’s transforming Word, learning to listen to His Spirit as you soak in your preparation, and seeing your ministry as an offering of love to Jesus and His church. If you know you love to preach, this course will help gain more effectiveness. If you aren’t sure but think God may be inviting you into this form of service, this course will give you understanding of the process and an opportunity to experience it.
