Why the Academy?

Stop settling for sermons
that almost land.

The Clear Preaching Academy gives you the tools to preach sermons that are clear, memorable, and well-crafted.

The Gap Every Preacher Knows

You work hard. But something still gets lost.

You spent hours in the text. You studied, prepared, and prayed. You stood up Sunday and said something you really meant. But somewhere between your study, the pulpit, and their seats — something got lost.

It might have been any of these:
The theological concept that made perfect sense in your study but landed as fog in the room.
The sermon structure that felt logical in your notes but felt scattered from the pew.
The illustration you thought was perfect — but somewhere in transmission, it fell flat.
The quiet frustration of hearing "good sermon, Pastor" on the way out — and still not knowing whether they actually heard what you meant to say.
Clarity in preaching is not just about speaking well. It is about being understood.

And being understood is a discipline — one that operates at every stage of the preaching process, from the moment you open the text to the moment you close your Bible. The Clear Preaching Academy exists to give you that discipline — systematically, practically, and for as long as you preach.

What's Inside

A training environment built for the working preacher.

One membership gives you access to everything — and it grows with you every week.

📚
Online Training Portal

A growing library of courses, teaching articles, guides, sermon build templates, and practical tools — all built around the four-domain Clear Preaching Framework. New content releases regularly.

🎓
Courses at Every Level

Short focused courses on specific skills, plus the comprehensive Clear Preaching MasterClass — a semester-equivalent course covering the full framework from the call to the close.

👥
Community & Q&A Calls

Private community access, monthly Q&A Zoom calls with Jonathan, and cohort groups — the kind of ongoing support and accountability that makes growth actually stick.

🎯
50% Off the Clarity Audit

Members receive a full four-domain written evaluation of one of their sermons at half the public rate — $63 instead of $125. Personalized, specific, and actionable feedback on your actual preaching.

Who Built It

From both sides of the desk.

Preacher · Professor · Church Planter
Dr. Jonathan McClintock

Jonathan McClintock has spent sixteen years teaching preaching at the university level while pastoring a local church every week. He knows what it costs when clarity breaks down — and what it looks like when it doesn't. Shaped by scholarship, proven in the pulpit.

His doctoral research focused specifically on oral clarity in preaching — one of the most underexplored areas in homiletical literature. The Clear Preaching Framework is the product of that research, thirty years of preaching experience, and countless conversations with preachers at every stage of their development.

The Academy is not theory disconnected from the pulpit. And it is not mere pragmatism disconnected from serious scholarship. It is both — because effective preaching requires both.
