Episode Description

Preaching rarely goes exactly as planned. In this episode of Revitalize & Replant, Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst talk honestly about what to do when unexpected disruptions happen in the pulpit—and how pastors can respond with calm, wisdom, and grace.

From technical issues to personal and medical interruptions, this conversation offers practical encouragement for pastors and church planters navigating real-life preaching challenges.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn How to Respond When:

  • Technology fails during a sermon (microphones, slides, livestreams, and more)
  • You start coughing, sneezing, or lose your voice while preaching
  • You lose your place or your train of thought mid-sermon
  • A medical emergency or major interruption happens during the service

Whether you’re a seasoned pastor or a new church planter, this episode will help you prepare for the unexpected and stay focused on faithfully proclaiming the gospel—even when things go wrong.
