What preachers have to say about their experience in The Preaching Lab
The whole class was very practical. I loved the videos and the discussions. The feedback for my sermon was honest and helpful.
Informative and challenging. I was introduced to new and different concepts, equipping me to communicate the Gospel with greater clarity and effectiveness.
I would recommend this to the preachers. I was able to look at my preaching from a macro level, be reminded of what’s important, and how to craft my sermons.
I wholeheartedly recommend this helpful course to someone who has been preaching 10 years or less. I grew. I was sharpened. Overall this was a very beneficial course.
What a great set of tools I was given to evaluate and work on the craft God has called me to. I recommend The Preaching Lab.
This has been life changing! Preaching has become more fun! My sermon length has decreased. I’m saying more in less time. Thank you.

The Preaching Lab curriculum is taught by Luke Simmons, Lead Pastor at Ironwood Church in Mesa, Arizona. Learn more about Luke.
I’m Luke Simmons — I’ve been in full-time pastoral ministry since 2004 and I’ve got the scars to prove it. After all those years, I’ve remained joyful in ministry, my family loves the church, and I still delight in helping people meet, know, and follow Jesus. I want the same for you.
Sometimes we need an experienced coach who can answer questions, offer suggestions, cheer us on, and be confident on our behalf. That’s why I’m here.
God has graciously allowed me to serve as a church planter, lead pastor, preacher, and leadership coach (read my full bio here). I love learning and when things I’ve learned get to help other leaders… oh baby, that’s the good stuff.
Luke has been a terrific resource in the areas of communication and preaching for me since 2016.
Seven years later, I still use his sermon evaluation forms and communication strategies as a tool for strengthening my skills as a communicator.
He comes highly recommended not based on knowledge alone, but attention to details and care for shepherding people well. (Shannon Butler, Associate Pastor, Calvary Chapel Tallahassee)
Luke has helped me become more like myself in pulpit; his insight and feedback has helped me close the gap between how I wanted to be experienced verses how I was experienced.
Some of the tweaks were strategic and tactical, but others were deeply personal and addressed me at the level of my insecurities.
Luke has been one of the people I go to and always listen to when it comes to preaching and leadership.
He has the ability to help people communicate strategically, without losing the heart of the gospel or shepherding your church through a moment or sermon.
I’ve walked away from every conversation with him with tons of notes and nuggets about how to move forward and communicate better as a pastor.
Working with Luke afforded me needed perspectives and ways to think about how to best lead in my context— all in real time.
While I could have gained those things otherwise, without Luke I would have paid in the form of many slow years of gaining experience and avoidable mistakes along the way.
