Practicing Preachers was founded by Dr. David Ward to help preachers have a better preaching life. Through preaching seminars, conference calls, preaching groups, and one-on-one coaching, Practicing Preachers is helping ministers find better preaching lives around the world.

​

Dr. David Ward is an internationally recognized author and preaching coach. His book Practicing the Preaching Life was released in 2019 and is currently a required textbook in five continents, helping train preachers in over sixty countries.

​

Dr. Ward serves as the Professor of Homiletics for Every Nation Seminary as well as the Senior Associate Pastor for Bethel World Outreach Church, a multi-ethnic multi-site church with a main campus in Brentwood, Tennessee. He has coached preachers in nearly every kind of church from small rural churches to some of the largest churches in the world. Seminar attendees describe his seminars as "the single greatest thing I ever did for my ministry," "an energy drink for the soul," and "a world class tour de force in the art of preaching." His coaching clients often end up coaching preachers themselves.
