Train Your Men to Preach
Train your men to preach.
2 Timothy 2:1-2 “You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.”
In the ministry I lead to Bay Area twentysomethings I’ve trained up 6 other men to preach God’s Word to us. Here’s a brief introduction to these 6 men.
-Francis: Church ministry intern, student, and c0-flower shop owner. Mid twenties. Married. Christian for 4+ years. Chinese. Raised in the Bay Area. Preaches 4-5x per year.
-Ryan: Architect. Mid twenties. Married. Christian since childhood. White boy. Raised in the Bay Area. Preaches 2x per year.
-Daniel: Engineer. Mid twenties. Married. Christian since childhood. Chinese. Raised in Sacramento. Preaches 1x per year.
-James: Coast Guard pilot. Mid twenties. Married. Christian since adolescence. White boy. Raised in Minnesota. Preaches 1x per year.
-Victor: Contractor. Mid twenties. Married. Wife pregnant with their first kid. Christian for 3+ years. Palestinian & Japanese. Raised in the Bay Area. Preaches 1x per year.
-Mike: Personal Trainer. Mid twenties. Married. Christian since adolescence. White boy. Raised in San Diego. Preaches for his first time tomorrow night.
It’s been a joy to train up these 6 men to preach the Bible to us (some needed/need more training than others). God has used them in a mighty way among us. Some of these men will be carrying some of the load as I now leave my role at Central Peninsula Church. I’m so thankful these faithful men are in place, entrusted with the gospel and able to teach.
Your book to the right,Preaching and Preachers by Lloyd-Jones, should be required reading for any young man aspiring to the pulpit.

Hey Justin, I would love to talk about how your trained these preachers when you get out here. I am doing some training with 3 or 4 guys but would love to hear what kind of process you took them through.
