5 people have already expressed interest in being a part of the course or
purchasing the recordings or ebook of the e-course after.
I'll be sharing on this blog what I'll be teaching in my upcoming "Talk Boosters" course.
(Tomorrow will be the final excerpts.)
*This way, even if you don't decide you want to be a part, then you'll still learn some new resources and tips to help you improve your talks.
It'll also help you to be able to decide if this course will be helpful for you.
2nd Group Of Excerpts From My "TalkBoosters" E-course:
1. The Need For Good Stories To Convey The Truth To The World
Phil Cooke said something really interesting on his blog about the need for good stories in order to convey our messages to the world.
(See http://www.philcooke.com/power_of_stories for full post.)
Listen to what Phil says, "The reality is, television programs, rock & roll radio, and movie theaters are "church" for this generation - sadly, that's where young people today learn their morals, and codes of behavior.
"But in spite of that great need, most films, television programs, radio specials, and websites produced by Christians are still poor quality, and have a limited audience."
But now listen to WHY he says things are this way. It's not because the message we have isn't needed. No! That's not why!
Phil says this...
"That's because for most Christians, the message is everything, and we've forgotten the power of a great story. It's interesting that when you study the life of Christ, you discover he didn't give theological lectures or teach doctrine.
He simply told stories - powerful stories that changed people's lives. Stranger still, he usually only explained the meaning in private with his disciples - not with the larger audience..."
2. In the 2nd eclass, I also share what Rick Warren learned as a consultant on the DreamWorks movie, The Prince of Egypt.
He says, "So there is an emotional punch as well as an intellectual punch. We layer it: tension/release, tension/release."
I teach how we can use something like this to keep the interest of our students when we speak.
3. Using The Ingredients Of Emotion and Pathos In Your Talk
I also teach how Jesus told stories with highs and lows, with shocking endings, and unsuspecting heroes.
I explain that He told stories that were filled with emotion and pathos!
We might not always think of them that way, but read some of his parables again and you'll see what I'm talking about.
When you're preparing the "menu" of what truth you will "serve" your students, then make sure you include emotion and pathos as your ingredients!
This is another way to make sure that your talks are engaging.
