Part 4 · Partnership understanding

I understand that The Exposition Desk provides biblical and theological research, not completed sermon manuscripts, and that I remain responsible for developing and preaching the message in my own voice.

I understand that a monthly partnership includes one comprehensive Series Support Packet, a personalized video explanation, and one email clarification when needed.

I understand the current pricing: $99/month for continuously active founding partners, $125/month for later ministry partners, or $150 one time for a Series Deep Dive covering one series of up to six weeks.

I understand that requests should ordinarily be submitted at least ten business days before the first sermon and that delivery normally occurs within five business days after the scope is confirmed.

Applications are reviewed personally. Submitting this form does not guarantee acceptance, collect payment, or create a financial obligation. Sensitive sermon drafts and confidential church matters should not be submitted here.

Tell us about your ministry and the research support you need.
