Ministry Matters That Matter

Dr. Kirk Brothers shares some valuable tips for sermon preparation while on the road. Dr. Brothers, who frequently travels as part of his work at Heritage Christian, emphasizes the use of audio tools and apps to make productive use of his travel time. He mentions the YouVersion app, which allows him to listen to Bible passages and underlines the importance of activating these tools only when parked. Additionally, he discusses using Microsoft Word on his phone to store sermon notes and PowerPoint presentations, offering a convenient emergency backup option. Dr. Brothers also suggests the possibility of listening to commentaries and other resources on audio while driving, ensuring that his preparation process remains safe and efficient.
