That's not preaching, that's screaming and repeating.
Any fool, including a five year old, can shout out some trite phrases with no coherence. To write a real sermon, yes, you do indeed need an education. It's a craft as well as a calling; the one without the other just leaves you with some happy-clappy lyrics.

The Word of God is clear concerning who is qualified to teach and preach. But that's a whole other discussion.
Well we know that a leader should have only one wife. So if he has two he shouldn't be allowed to lead 😉
I had like the idea that he was called to be a pastor without even having to go to school. But he is still going to go. It would be awesome to have a pastor though personally that didn't even need an education and is truly called to being a pastor instead of going to get educated to become a pastor.
I mean who would you rather have as a pastor someone who is truly called and truly hear from God or someone that go to college and only preaches on what he learned and never truly hears from God/Jesus?
