How sermon transcription impacts your pastoral counseling

John and Susan share with Pastor Steve one morning after church that they need counseling. Steve wants to schedule a meeting with them later that week but he wants them to dive into some material he already preached upon this year and last.

Or, he tries to remember, was it in the year before?

No matter, because Steve’s sermons are transcribed and published at his church blog.

Have you ever read your own preached sermon? Chances are good that you would be surprised. How many times are you interrupting yourself? How many times are you pausing with “um” or “uh” or interrupting your point with “Now, listen” or other go-to phrases. Sermon transcription can play a helpful role in your homiletic improvement and missional effectiveness.

If your sermon lasts 30 minutes, you're preaching about 5,000 words per Sunday. That's a great start, but Spurgeon would have appreciated help toward a wonderful finish--taking that sermon into his public square.

"That was really good. You should write that down."

The case for leveraging your spoken content into greater, repurposed value in the public square.

If you have been teaching long enough, you've heard that line. And, they're probably right; you should write that down, but who has the time?

An average speaker will speaking at around 100-200 words per minute and at the end of an hour, he might utter around 6,000 words. The question becomes, how do you capture that value and leverage it? Should that value be contained to the walls of a worship center, classroom or lecture hall, or could it be repurposed into greater venues like blog entries (typically 300-500 words each), social media posts (15-100 words each), editorial articles (800-1500 words each) or full length books (150,000 words+)?
