I Wish I Was This Good

On May 4th, I have to deliver a second sermon for my Introduction to Preaching class. Because of this class, this semester has me thinking a lot about preaching and public speaking in general, listening to a lot of sermons and giving one of my own so far. I thought I was a pretty good public speaker until I watched this video of a "kid" lecturer. Take the time to watch her presentation, it's pretty insightful and her poise is pretty amazing.

Thanks Ric. She's certainly amazing for her age, and her poise is remarkable, but that strength masks several weaknesses - There are many many ways she could still get better as a speaker.

I should clarify - I work for a major Christian ministry, but I also teach advanced public speaking on the side... tim@oratium.com
