-Christian College Preps To Launch “Pulpit Simulator” Which Enables Pastors For Better Preaching

A small Christian college in rural Indiana is set to launch a “Pulpit Simulator” which enables Pastors for better preaching.

“If you think about a pilot who’s getting trained to crawl up into the cockpit of a plane, they get into a digital flight simulator,” Dr. Timothy McConnell, pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Colorado Springs, said on a recent episode of CBN News Quick Start podcast.

“We’ve created kind of a pulpit simulator, climbing into the pulpit with cameras, confidence monitors, lights, sound systems — all the things you would expect to need to have some acumen and some awareness of to step into the pulpit in our times, and we’ve put it into a lab space.”

The program’s director, McConnell described PREACH Labs which was launched this month in Upland, Indiana, by Taylor University, one of the oldest Christian universities in the country.

The program’s name is an acronym for “Preparing, Resourcing, Equipping, and Coaching for Homiletic Excellence.”

“If you’re going to speak to thousands, you need to learn how to do that in a different way,” said McConnell. “And you don’t want to be a distraction, you don’t want to be a block to the Gospel.”
