I have a huge whiteboard in my study. It’s one of my favorite preaching tools. You should get one too.
I’ve never been quite comfortable with my workspace at the church building being called an “office,” though I spend plenty of time organizing things (shuffling papers). The sign on my door reads “study,” though that’s more something that I aspire to. I prefer Preacher’s Art Studio. (Reality check: This is where I would like to be, not where I’m at yet.)
Six years ago I attended Rob Bell’s Poets / Prophets / Preachers event in Grand Rapids. We created an accountability group to follow up with some of the insights shared at the conference. One thing I wanted to do was get a huge whiteboard for my study (studio).
So I did.
Where’s your creative space for preaching?
Maybe it’s a huge pad of easel paper.
Maybe it’s an old school chalk board. (That would be awesome.)
Maybe it’s a pack of Sharpies and a stack of plain index cards.
Maybe it’s a box of crayons or cans of Play-doh.
What is one change you can make in the next month that will remind you that preaching, among many things, is an art form?
