Preaching Lab - Videos available now. Lab Launchs again August 2026.
Most preachers were never actually taught how to preach. They watched someone else do it, said yes when asked, and figured it out as they went. Maybe that's you.
You love God's word. You want to communicate it well. But somewhere between the text and the pulpit, something gets lost - and you're not always sure what.
The Preaching Lab is a hybrid course designed for Bible teachers and preachers who are ready to stop guessing and start developing. You'll work through a proven, gospel-centered framework and a transformational communication process, not just to inform, but to enable real transformation.
And you won’t do it alone.
Danielle Burkholder is an ordained minister, experienced preacher, ICF-certified coach, and leadership development specialist who has trained preachers in the US and around the world. She brings every credential you'd want in a preaching coach - and none of the distance.
"I felt nervous not knowing what to expect, but Danielle made the whole process feel achievable. I feel so much more confident in my preaching prep and delivery."
The Preaching Lab combines on-demand video teaching, a practical workbook, live coaching labs, and real sermon feedback - so you don't just learn a framework; you own it.
This is for you if:
You're a newer preacher or lay leader ready to develop a consistent preaching practice
You've been preaching for a while but want to go deeper into gospel-centered preparation
You're tired of winging it last minute and want a repeatable process you can trust
You want to grow alongside a coach who will cheer you on and tell you the truth
This is not for you if:
You're looking for a passive content experience with no accountability
You already have a gospel-centered framework that's working — and you're happy with it

Preaching Lab is not a classroom; it is a community of preachers learning together.
You do not have to figure it out on your own.
Sermon preparation doesn’t have to be a chore, and it doesn’t have to rely on last-minute adrenaline. You can have simple-to-use tools at your disposal that will transform how you prepare and deliver biblical truth. In the lab format, you don’t have to guess whether you are doing it right; you get to practice with others in a safe and encouraging environment with other preachers and teachers of the Bible.
