KYFITT (Keep Your Finger in the Text) Workshop

The open air is our sanctuary. The crowds are our congregation. In our fast‑paced ministry context, every sentence matters—and shaky theology isn’t an option.

Do you want to communicate God's word with boldness, clarity, and compassion - all powered by sound theology?

Join us for 12-weeks focused on systematic theology and preaching.

As an open-air preacher, you will:

• Preach with Confidence, Not Guesswork: When doctrine lives at the core of your sermon preparation, you move from " I think this text means..." to “Here’s how this passage harmonizes with the whole counsel of God.” A shift which builds deep assurance in you and credibility with your hearers.
• Safeguard Against Heresy: Understanding a systematic framework will keep your preaching orthodox, compassionate, and persuasive.
• Engage Both Mind and Heart: Learn to translate theological precision into compelling illustrations and life‑changing calls to action, so your hearers experience both depth and the Gospel.
• Gain Contextual Clarity: Learn to translate doctrine into everyday language without dumbing it down—so your hearers can track with you.
• Application: Engaging with what you've learned to biblical texts through interactive, hands-on examples and small group sessions using Systematic Theology.

When robust theology fuels open‑air preaching, the message rings clearer, the messenger stands firmer, the gospel is magnified, and hearers lives are transformed as they encounter the full glory of Christ.

Join us for a workshop that will re calibrate, and elevate your preaching to the next level.

 "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."
