"Keep Your Finger in the Text" Fall Workshop
“Preaching That Demands a Response”
Persuasion & Rhetoric.
WORKSHOP LEADER: HEATH PUCEL
KYFITT (Keep Your Finger in the Text) Workshop
Open-air preaching has always carried urgency, but today’s culture presents unique challenges—noise, distractions, indifference, and even hostility.
Preaching is not simply about being heard—it is about persuading hearts with gospel truth.
Our 12-week workshop is designed to sharpen your ability to proclaim Christ in a way that not only declares truth but moves listeners to action.
As an open-air preacher, you will be equipped to:
- Build Persuasive Sermons: Blending classical rhetoric and biblical conviction in sermons which are Spirit-filled and persuasive, not scattered or shallow.
- Maintain Unity and Purpose: Discover ways to capture attention, avoid tangents, make impactful arguments which compel hearers to encounter the Word.
- So What, Now What: Bring practical, Spirit-led application that connects timeless truth to today’s hearer.
- Preach with Conviction, Compassion, and Power: Employ strategies for adapting your delivery to reach the lost without losing biblical depth.
- Application: Engaging with what you've learned to biblical texts through interactive, hands-on examples and small group sessions using persuasion and rhetoric.
Join us for Preaching That Demands a Response—preaching that brings unity to your message, purpose to your proclamation, clarity to your words, cohesion to your structure, and application to your hearers.

"I attended the George Whitefield Program in 2019 with Heath Pucel. This was my first training program I had ever taken part in with Sports Fan Outreach. Bill Adams asked me if I would liked to participate, and I honestly had no idea the depth of hermeneutics or homiletics taught or expectations of me throughout the program, but I agreed in good faith. With little knowledge of what lay in store for me, I was soon at the session, with a few sermon outlines. Heath and Bill assured me, that all would be well. After the enthusiastic lessons Heath taught and honest critiques of how to prepare sermons using correct presupposed hermeneutics. I was much more knowledgeable of sermon preparation and confident in expositing God's Word afterwards. I was in the right place to sharpen my homiletic skills with kind peers, who would love to see me handle scripture correctly. I would encourage the novice and expert to take part in these hermeneutical teachings with Heath."

"I think the George Whitefield program was incredibly informative and useful for biblical study. I was probably taught by Heath Pucel, as well as the others in attendance, so much more than I was expecting. It was like my eyes were kind of opened up and I realized, at least to some degree, how little I really knew about the Scriptures. I would highly recommend attending a program like this or receiving teaching from Heath. It was a great time to learn how to more than just preach, but how one ought to study Scripture. Although, it might be said that what we learned there was barely scratching the surface, with so much more to learn. The program, though it didn't last a super long time, seemed to teach me so, so much. I think I would even consider going again if it worked out. I believe it'd probably be very good if every follower of Christ received teaching like this, teaching on how the Scriptures should be read, interpreted, etc. It was a long week full of a ton of information and learning, but I think it was well worth it. I was blessed to be able to go."
