Speaking
Book Dr. Hill
Pastor of Sweet Rest Church and a professor of chemistry at Jackson State University. He teaches Matthew 25 the way a pastor preaches it and germination the way a scientist teaches it, in the same breath — because he has never believed those were two different rooms.
What he speaks on
Four pillars, one spine.
Every talk comes off the same teaching spine, so a room that hears him once has somewhere to go next. Nothing is a one-off.
The Third Servant Files
The deep study, serialized. Why he buried it — the fear, the hard-master lie, the rank wound, and the burial that looked responsible.
Germination
Seed science as sermon. Dormancy, fire, scarification, and the two-thousand-year seed. Nobody else is teaching this.
The Five Bridges
The how-to pillar. Napkin Test walkthroughs, Almanac builds, and the Grove liturgy demonstrated.
Look at the Field Now
Testimonies. What came up, and who it belonged to. This pillar grows every year the cohort runs.
The Five Bridges
The crossing map, taught as one keynote or five sessions: the portrait of the Master, the napkin, the scorecard nobody is actually being graded on, the table, and the one small trade that was available the whole time.
Planting Sunday
The declaration, the diagnostic in the pews, and Groves formed before the benediction. Preached as a guest, with your ushers holding the workbooks and your leaders holding the cards.
Leadership development for pastors
A closed room for clergy. What it costs to tend other people’s fields while your own sits unplanted, what a Vinedresser actually does, and how to run a Grove for men and women who are used to being the one who answers.
Formats
Where this fits.
Tell us the room and the hour you have, and the talk gets shaped to it. He would rather do one thing all the way through than four things partway.
Sunday morning
One service or all of themA guest word in your voice’s cadence, not a lecture dropped into a service. Planting Sunday fits here whole.
Conference keynote
45–75 minutesOne bridge, taught end to end, with the tool in the room’s hands before they stand up.
University lecture
Chapel, seminar, or convocationThe seed science and the Scripture in the same hour — dormancy, serotiny, scarification — with the citations on the slide.
Denominational gathering
District, diocese, or nationalWhere the season gets adopted on a calendar rather than admired from a stage.
Multi-night revival series
Three to five nightsOne bridge a night, the Napkin Test on night one, and Groves formed before the last night ends.
Travel comes from Jackson, Mississippi. Honoraria, travel, and lodging are worked out plainly in the first exchange — no packet of tiers, no negotiation theater.
Request a date
Tell us about the room.
Who will be in it, what season they are in, and what you need them to walk out carrying. If the date is still open, say so — the calendar is held loosely until it isn’t.
