How I Preach from an iPad

 

I bought an iPad the first day they were for sale in 2010.  My main purpose in this purchase was for preaching.  It has been a great transition over the last few years from my leather preaching notebook to my iPad.

 

I preface my explanation of how I preach from an iPad with the disclaimer that this system may not be best for you, but it is my favorite process after a few years tweaking it.

 

(1) I am a manuscript preacher.  I highlight key words and color-code my manuscript to make it simpler to follow.  Click here to see one of my recent sermon manuscripts.

 

(2) Once I finish my manuscript, I save it in landscape format as both a PDF and Word document.  I save it in landscape because I like to have my iPad in landscape on the pulpit.

 

(3) I put all of the files pertaining to one sermon in a note in Evernote.

 

(4) I access my sermon manuscript in Evernote on my iPad, and open it into iBooks.  iBooks has clearly become the best option pertaining to simplicity in flipping through pages.  If you simply preach from the PDF within Evernote, one accidental swipe can cause you to move from page 1 to 9 in the blink of an eye.  iBooks is key to effective page-turning during preaching.

 

(5) I put my iPad on the pulpit before the service ever begins.  This may not be something everyone does, but I like to just carry my Bible with me when I walk onto the platform.  Furthermore, it’s less cumbersome.  When I walk up to the pulpit, I simply hit the home button, swipe, and the manuscript is right there.

 

The people sitting in the congregation cannot tell I’m preaching from an iPad, and I like it that way.  I was initially afraid I would appear flashy for preaching from an iPad, but that quickly became a non-issue.  I preach from it for the sake of efficiency.

 

I hope this helps.  Let me know if you have any questions.

    Great thoughts. When I used a PC on my desk, I sent doc files to Dropbox, then opened with Quick Office on my iPad.

    Now that I have movers to iMac on my desk, I write in Pages, then sent to iPad via iWork.

    I thing I will try iBooks.

    Thanks for your help

    Great ideas. I have been wondering how to use my iPad more when I speak and look forward to trying these ideas out. I’m going to be preaching 2 – 3 times a month and am going to have to begin relying more on my notes on my iPad and not so much on my memory.

    I like the idea of using iBooks. Hadn’t occurred to me before. I’ve been using Pages and I often get lost scrolling. I would like to see similar blog post on how you use Evernote. I’ve tried it and didn’t care for it, but maybe I didn’t give it a fair shake.

    Could you send a screenshot of your Evernote sermon notebooks? Curious how you organize your sermon notes there. Hadn’t thought of using it that way but it would eliminate some crowding in my DropBox folder.

    Jeremy – I do the same thing. I have used iBooks and Pages, but I have been preaching from the iPad directly and use a highlighted manuscript. My wife has insisted that I also print a copy on paper “just in case.” Good Idea. Last Sunday I left my iPad home and rather than panic to get it in time, I simply use the paper copy (without highlighting but it worked). Thanks for the article.
