Ed Litton Sometimes Skips the Sermon Prep: Preaches what His Team Gives Him

Days after Ed Litton’s church hosted a worship and prayer service populated by Roman Catholics, United Methodists, Charismatics, pro-choice and pro-LGBT AME churches, women pastrixes, Liberation theology- you name it, a newly unearthed video has him explaining that he sometimes skips the sermon prep and rather just preaches what his team gives him- with them deciding even the tone of the sermon.

We know that Ed Litton, who has been plagiarizing sermons for a decade now used to lie about the time he spent preparing sermons, explaining in a 2020 interview that “I used to lie. I used to tell people 24 hours a sermon… but I would say 8-10 hours average.” Despite this. we assumed that he would at least have had SOME hand in crafting the sermon, of doing some study and spending those 8 hours doing sermon prep, but this is not always the case. In a podcast with Justin Taylor he explains that he’s not always the most involved pastor. :

We (his 8 member preaching team) meet on Monday afternoon. And all the members of the preaching team which we’ll talk about later, they come together, they have been studying the same text and we work on it now. Actually, the interesting thing was that’s become so helpful for me, is that I got an email Monday evening from the preaching team, they went over the text without me. Which was awesome, this is what we do.

And I said, alright, I need to know, and here’s where I’m thinking–in a letter–I just said ‘you guys tear it apart, tell me where I’m wrong, tell me what you think is best” And language, we talk about language, we talk about tone, all those things cause they’re all younger.

And so that week, actually I had a little bit of study to do in between killing pheasants and taking pictures… I literally walked to the church and filmed it.
