About the Episode

In the latest Craft & Character Podcast episode, Steve Carter interviews author and Lead Pastor of Beulah Alliance Church Daniel Im about his preparation process for crafting sermons. Daniel is an incredible communicator who has the ability to be thoughtful, deeply theological, and accessible while making so much space for the Holy Spirit to stir in the hearts of the congregation. The level of intentionality Daniel uses even in his sermon notes (where he’ll even occasionally add emojis) will inspire you and easily be something you can apply to your upcoming teaching right away.
