How to stop being boring

 
Helen Thorne | 24 Mar 2012

So you've done the prep. The main point is clear in your mind. The structure is sketched out. And your application thought-through. All that remains is to put the pieces together, write the talk and deliver it.

You're faithfully explaining the word of God so you're confident that it's going to be relevant and transformational. In the hands of the Holy Spirit, there's no doubt that it can be used to glorify God. But there's still a nagging suspicion that the talk that you end up with might be, well, how can I put this? Just a little bit dull...

If that scenario sounds familiar, why not spend an hour today listening to Pete Woodcock's seminar on how to stop being boring.

As an experienced speaker, Pete shares his top tips for passing on God's truth in ways that engage and enthuse. Originally given at the Bible-centred youthworker conference, there are hints here for anyone who has to teach Jesus from the front of church. If you listen, your talks may never be the same again ...

Well, this was indeed, an interesting post. Maybe this was the technique about keeping lessons from being boring: drop off before you've finished and provided the main point and just leave'em hanging.


Seriously, though, this post drops off at "If that scenario sounds familiar, why not spend an hour today listening to…" and that's it. No finishing thought. No link to whatever we might need to listen to. You've got my interest now.

Oh dear - very sorry about our lack of competence this weekend! The post goes on to say "... this great talk by Pete Woodcock." And gives a link. Alas, despite my best efforts, my html simply isn't up to fixing this over the weekend. I'll talk to the tech guys on Monday and we'll have it up and running first thing. Apologies again ... and I hope you find it worth the wait!
