About Experimental Sermons

Welcome, and thank you for reading Experimental Sermons. You can read more about the concept here.

When I started this Substack in early 2023, it was out of frustration.

My wife suggested that I seek a wider audience and write more. That’s how Experimental Sermons got started.

When I began this Substack, I had no intention of monetizing it. However, I soon realized that I needed to start becoming “antifragile.”

Those of you who have followed me for awhile know what an upheaval I’ve experienced. (See: ‘Weaponizing’ Clergy Disciplinary Canons for Ideological Purposes.)

I went from being a priest in the Episcopal Church, to being a “layman,” and then to accepting a call to pastor and replant a historic Congregational church in Woodbury, Connecticut.

Our institutions have lost nearly all their hard-earned credibility, and while many still have enormous wealth and therefore power, that power and wealth is increasingly concentrated in the hands of an ideologically captured minority.

Full access to Experimental Sermons is free because the Word of God is free, but your voluntary support helps to keep biblical preaching from being cancelled.

The Puritans called their preaching "experimental" not because they were trying new things in the pulpit, but because they wanted to be tested and proven by the Word of God.
