Title: PASTOR for Pastors: A Powerful, Practical Framework for Sermons that Connect & Call to Action Author: Steve Garcia — “The Merry Mystic,” leadership & team-building coach, and 30-year urban church pastor. Overview: Every week, pastors face the blank page, praying, “Lord, what do I say?” Every week we stand before a sea of faces -- whether a congregation, a youth group, or a classroom full of learners -- and pray, “Help me, Lord, help this to go well.” PASTOR for Pastors offers a lifeline — a proven framework for crafting messages that connect head, heart, and hand. Adapted from Ray Edwards’s celebrated PASTOR model, this book translates timeless copywriting wisdom into sermon-writing gold. Built on the lived experience of a veteran preacher and coach, this book shows how to communicate grace with clarity, power, and practical next steps — every Sunday. Hook: What if sermon prep didn’t drain your soul, but refreshed it? What if the “sales funnel” of a sermon actually mirrored Jesus’s way of speaking truth with compassion and call to action? Promise: Pastors will discover a joyful, repeatable process to prepare sermons that: - Speak to real human pain - Stir the heart with redemptive stories - Offer grace and a clear path forward - Move people toward transformation, not just inspiration Why Me / Why Now: I’ve written and preached hundreds of sermons. Some soared. Some sank. But I’ve discovered that the difference isn’t inspiration — it’s structure. Ray’s PASTOR framework helped me rediscover the joy of sermon prep — not just for selling, but for saving — reminding me that good sermons serve. This book is a lifesaver for weary pastors who are tired of chasing “viral sermons” and ready to rediscover the sacred art of preaching that changes lives. Comparable Works: - Communicating for a Change – Andy Stanley - Talk Like TED – Carmine Gallo - How to Write Copy That Sells – Ray Edwards - PASTOR for Pastors bridges these worlds: communication + clarity + calling.

I seem to have been locked out of Clarity Scribe. I was working on modifying and expanding on the outline that Miss Genie recommended. I thanked her for her help and she told me "Miss Genie has your back", and then she locked the door behind me so I cant get back in? Could you please apologize for whatever I might have said that she got offended at, and convince her to unlock her door so I can complete my assignment”. PRETTY PLEASE? (Maybe she is a MRS and I called her "MISS"?) I will be getting up again at around 5 am to finish this so please please talk to her for me? THANKS SO MUCH. (it may be a password issue…the one I have in my vault is from 2024 and when I reconstituted it, I was not prompted to update a password. I tried pressing the "change password" as well as "magic link", but nothing has been emailed to me. email: stevenwohlman@fastmail.com. Pro account. :)

🌺Aloha @Ray Edwards and @Bryan Switalski thank you so much for an amazing session yesterday - Ida from Denmark here :D (the one that knows Ray from PLF ;) - thank you so much for your PLF P.A.S.T.O.R. anecdote, Ray that was so inspiring to hear!) - 🤩 I am super happy and wildy optimistic about today having signed up for ClarityScribe🎉 and looking SO much forward to getting to work with it. For the last 1½ year I have been working quite extensively with Chat GPT, but I feel I´ve started to hit a wall with it, what it can and cannot do for me. I hope with CS✒️ that my copy and textwork will become more on point and much much more professional. I could talk and talk, but for now what really is taking up my mind space is that I am heading into one of my biggest and most important launches of the year - to my painting membership - and that brings me back to the aching fact that my sales copy both for my launch sign up page (a $10 workshop) and for the membership sign up page is painfully flawed or more accurately, next to non-existent. And it hurts my brain to think of, and there is only 14 days to my launch kicks off. As painful as it is, here is the link to my launch sales page, non-existent copy and all: https://atelieridaandersenlang.simplero.com/page/676565 As you might recall me say in zoom 1, my native language is danish but I sell to mainly US, Canada and also Australia and writing good texts in english has been a major stumbling block for me. My achilles heel. I was wondering if it´s realistic here during the writing workshop to get to WORK with my launch sales page? This is the most urgent writing task I have in front of me and it would be pure magic if I could get started writing it with CS with a little bit of help from you. NOTE: As you might notice in this text, my native languag is NOT english. I write english relatively fine, but "as a dane" - what we in fact call denglish or you could even call it viking english ha ha. I have decided to leave this post unedited so you can see my level of english, as it flows from me, before editing anything, typos n all. It comes with some real challenges being bi-lingual. The fact alone that I speak danish all day long and then sit down to write and work in english. That alone takes some of my mental bandwidth.
