  • Sermon Outlining 101: Brian Kelly

    Sermon Outlining 101: Brian Kelly
    Apr 15 2025

    In this focused and practical message, Brian Kelly shares from his experience as a preacher and church planter on the necessity of clear, intentional sermon outlines. “If you don't have a plan, all you have is a wish,” he says—reminding us that Spirit-empowered preaching still requires thoughtful preparation. Recorded live in Kampala, Uganda, this episode explores how well-structured outlines help preachers deliver the right message to the right people, and why relying solely on emotion or stirring stories isn’t enough to sustain a faithful ministry.


    Brian Kelly has dedicated over 23 years to pastoral ministry, demonstrating a lifelong passion for church planting and global missions. He and his wife, Lynne, spent a decade in Uganda, where they established a church and launched a Calvary Chapel Bible College extension campus to train leaders for ministry. After their years in Africa, they served as missionaries in New Zealand, leading Calvary Chapel Auckland. Throughout his career, Brian has been instrumental in planting churches both in the United States and internationally. Currently residing in Florida, he is the lead pastor of WestChurch, a congregation he founded three years ago. Brian and Lynne are blessed with three grown children, all actively involved in ministry.

  • The Pulpit and the Prayer Closet: Dr. Keeney Dickenson on Spurgeon’s Legacy

    The Pulpit and the Prayer Closet: Dr. Keeney Dickenson on Spurgeon’s Legacy
    Apr 8 2025

    How did Charles Spurgeon’s theology of prayer shape one preacher’s lifelong commitment to expositional ministry, personal integrity, and staying rooted in a single congregation? In this conversation, Mike Neglia sits down with Dr. Keeney Dickenson, a seasoned pastor and mentor, to explore the spiritual and pastoral depth that comes from decades of prayer-soaked preaching and long-term faithfulness in one place.

    From his first sermon at age 17 to a lifetime of week-in, week-out preaching through entire books of the Bible, Keeney shares the lessons, struggles, and joys of walking closely with the Lord and his congregation. Drawing deeply from Spurgeon’s example, he explains how prayer isn’t just part of sermon prep—it is the sermon prep. He walks us through his rhythm of turning Scripture into prayer, resisting the temptation to preach second-hand insights, and staying attentive to the Spirit and the lives of his people.


    Whether you're preparing your first sermon or your 500th, this conversation is a warm and wise reminder that faithful preaching flows from a faithful life.


    Highlights & Topics:

    • Preaching your first sermon at 17… and still learning
    • How long-term ministry deepens both sermon and shepherd
    • Lessons from Spurgeon on prayer, integrity, and health
    • Writing prayers from the text before writing sermons about the text
    • Why approval from God matters more than applause from people
    • Encouragement to remain personally tethered to the Word, not just to study tools
    • The pastoral danger of preaching disconnected from lived experience

    Dr. Keeney Dickenson has served as the Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church in Crockett, Texas since 2003. With over two decades of local church leadership, he is known for his deep commitment to Christ-centered preaching, pastoral longevity, and the integration of prayer into every aspect of ministry. He holds a Doctor of Ministry degree from Truett Theological Seminary and is the founder and director of Prayeridigm Ministries, a training and resource initiative aimed at helping pastors and churches grow in their understanding and practice of prayer.

  • Innovation Meets Integrity: AI and the Preacher’s Calling with Paul Hoffman

    Innovation Meets Integrity: AI and the Preacher’s Calling with Paul Hoffman
    Apr 1 2025
    Artificial intelligence is already reshaping how some pastors write sermons, lead meetings, and care for people—but what are the theological and ethical boundaries for its use in ministry? In this wide-ranging conversation, Mike Neglia speaks with Dr Paul Hoffman about the promises and perils of AI for preachers and church leaders. Together they explore the difference between narrow and general AI, how it can streamline administrative work, and why it should never replace the Spirit-led work of sermon preparation. This thoughtful exchange offers both caution and clarity for pastors navigating technology in a rapidly changing world.Together, they explore the difference between general and narrow AI, where it can be useful in pastoral ministry (meeting prep, research, organising sermon notes), and where it poses serious spiritual and ethical concerns (outsourcing sermon writing, shortcuts in discipleship). Paul makes a passionate case for the irreplaceable role of the preacher’s soul in interpreting and applying God’s Word—and warns against any technological solution that would diminish that.Mike and Paul also talk about the pastoral and educational implications of AI use, including issues of plagiarism, critical thinking, spiritual formation, and the need for deep wisdom in an age of endless information. You’ll hear reflections on how AI can help—and how it might hinder—our calling to shepherd people toward Christlikeness.If you’re a pastor, Bible teacher, student, or church leader wrestling with how to navigate new tech wisely, this episode will offer clarity, caution, and encouragement.👤 About Dr Paul HoffmanDr Paul A.
