The more you prepare, the less stress you have in the long-term. From my perspective, a pastor that prepares and knows what he is going to preach on weeks in advance will not be staring at a blank page/screen on the Thursday before. Working ahead allows time to simmer and improve, while decreasing unnecessary stress.
