AproposPreaching gives you a detailed, honest evaluation of your sermon across 10 categories — so you know exactly what's landing, what's missing, and how to get better every week.
Pastors are the only professionals who perform in front of an audience every week with almost no structured feedback. Doctors get peer reviews. Coaches watch film. Teachers get evaluations. Preachers get handshakes.
That's not a knock on your congregation. They love you. They're supposed to encourage you. It's not their job to tell you your application section ran long, your transitions were unclear, or your thesis got buried in the introduction.
That's what AproposPreaching is for.
Peer reviews, case conferences, continuing medical education — structured feedback is built into the profession.
Film sessions, stat reviews, assistant coaches watching every play. Nobody coaches without a feedback loop.
Classroom evaluations, administrative walkthroughs, student assessments every semester.
A handshake at the door. "Great message, Pastor." And back to the study to do it again next week — alone.
Submit your manuscript or outline into the grader. A full manuscript gives you the most specific coaching, but a detailed outline works too.
→Get a detailed evaluation across 10 preaching categories — structure, theological clarity, application, illustration, delivery guidance, and more.
→Step into Sunday knowing exactly what to strengthen for next week — and with the confidence that you've done the work a good shepherd does.
Ten grading categories. Each one receives a score and specific, actionable coaching notes — written to challenge you, not flatter you.
Is the architecture holding up from the pew?
Is the doctrine sound and the gospel clear?
Can a listener state your main idea back to you?
Are your stories making truth visible and felt?
Do people leave knowing what to actually do?
Did you earn the room's attention in the first 90 seconds?
Does it land with weight, or drift to a soft stop?
Can real people — not seminary students — track this?
Is the text driving the sermon, or decorating it?
A letter grade, a score, and a straight-talk summary.
You run the church, counsel families, lead the staff, and write your sermon in whatever hours are left. You deserve a second set of eyes.
You're learning the craft and you need to understand the "why" behind what works — not just what scored well on an assignment rubric.
You've been doing this for years. You're not looking for validation. You're looking for the honest voice that helps you keep growing.
When the moment comes, you want to step into it prepared. AproposPreaching helps you make every sermon count, not just survive it.

No. The grader is built to give honest, specific, category-level feedback with real coaching notes. It is designed to challenge you, not flatter you. If your conclusion lands flat, it will say so — and tell you exactly how to fix it.
Five submissions per month is a ceiling, not a requirement. If you preach twice a month, you have room to grade both sermons — and run a revision through if you want to see how the improvements changed your score.
You can paste a manuscript, a detailed outline, or a transcript. The grader works with what you give it. The more complete the submission, the more specific the coaching — but there's no required format.
Cancel any time. No hoops, no runaround, no penalty. Your access continues through the end of your current billing period and that's the end of it.
