Jerry Deck

Lead Pastor, Zionsville Presbyterian Church

Zionsville, Indiana

I have found The Pastor’s Workshop to be an incredible resource for getting my creative juices flowing, especially in those moments (which we all have) when we seem stuck and inspiration is non-existent.

Thanks Stu for all your work on this remarkable site!

Cora Taitt

Pastor, Highbridge Community Church

New York City

I want to take this opportunity to say how grateful I am for the Pastor’s Workshop site. I visit the site weekly and especially like the weekly illustrations and quotes. My church often uses one of the “Call to Worship” during our Sunday Worship service. The scriptural based Calls to Worship organized by topic is a real blessing to my Congregation.

Praying that God continues to bless this work.

Even for a stodgy Anglican with a Book of Common Prayer that serves-up-the-script for our worship services, I still benefit greatly from https://thepastorsworkshop.com/

This site presents intriguing, fresh quotes and stories that deepen the homiletical craft, and all those non-Anglicans out there can find biblically and theologically grounded liturgical helps that will deepen worship.

Heather Ghormley

Rector & Founding Pastor, Tree of Life Anglican Church

Mishwaka, Indiana

I love preaching and putting together worship services, but we all have those moments when we simply do not have the mental energy or time to do it on our own. In those moments I now turn to thepastorsworkshop.com. What a Godsend.

There are dozens of pithy, theologically helpful sermon illustrations as well as those great quotes you half remember but can’t quite put your finger on when you need them. This is not just sermon filler; it’s sermon power.

Joshua M. Mikelson

Pastor, Kemnay Parish Church

Aberdeenshire, Scotland

As a solo pastor of a busy parish church (and a PhD candidate) in Scotland, my time for sermon prep is often limited to a few precious hours a week, sometimes even less. Even though we live in an age of voluminous online resources, very few of them offer anything more than a mile-wide and inch-deep approach to the tasks of preaching and Christian discipleship.

Anyone who utilizes this resource will find a wealth of spiritual treasures for the taking, and therefore I warmly commend The Pastor’s Workshop to everyone who has an interest in preaching God’s Word in a faithful and effective manner.
