After a group of brothers asked me to give a khutbah (sermon) training workshop, I decided to write this paper to serve as a record of one method for my community and beyond.
May Allah swt bless you sheikh, for all the effort you put into serving the community. Your writing does not get anywhere near the attention and appreciation it deserves (i may be biased because i really like it haha), but in a funny way, that kind of proves your point. The effort is your responsibility, and how it gets accepted or appreciated is not in your hands.
I like the 20 min threshold. I've been told to prepare for a 40 min khutba so I'm more than well prepared for a 20-30 min delivery.
I also really like what you said about crafting the khutba to what you need yourself, and that it will iA resonate.
I'm shre you're terribly busy, but would you be willing to take a look at a khutba draft? I want to try and give one in my uni in a month or two iA. My friends have been asking me to for a long time.

I understand if you're not able to! This how-to was and will be very helpful iA. Jazakumullahu khairan.
Sure, send it to me and I will read it, InshaAllah.
