Before The Oil: What They Didn't Teach You About Ministry

By Joseph Coleman

Before The Oil is a foundational guide for young and upcoming preachers who understand that ministry is more than anointing-it is a process of preparation. This book walks you through essential biblical study methods, including the transformative CHICAGO and CWGIBS methods taught by Pastor John T. Phalo, designed to help you rightly handle God's Word, build solid sermons, and preach with authority.

From deep exploration of context and key words to discovering the gospel connection and calling hearers to obedience, Before The Oil reveals the sacred journey every preacher must embrace-the weight that must be carried before the glory of the oil flows. This book is both a practical manual and a spiritual encouragement to lean into preparation, so you can stand ready when God calls you into the public ministry.
