Is the Church Ignoring the Four Ps? Place, People, Praise, and Preaching is a transformative book designed to challenge and inspire church leaders and congregations to reevaluate the essential elements of worship and spiritual development. Drawing from over 28 years of ministry experience, a doctorate degree in education, and theological reflection, the author uncovers the often-overlooked significance of four foundational pillars: 1.

Preaching - Prioritizing scriptural teaching over motivational speaking. Through compelling personal stories, theological insights, and actionable strategies, this book provides a roadmap for revitalizing church communities. It also emphasizes the importance of safety planning for churches as soft targets, underscoring the need for practical preparedness alongside spiritual growth. The goal is to inspire church leaders and members to renew their commitment to God's mission by focusing on these often-neglected areas, ensuring that worship remains authentic, impactful, and aligned with biblical principles.
