Today, we explore a tip from my friend Stefan Wolmarans. I am paraphrasing a voice note he sent me, but in essence, his point was: "Jesus was very good at telling stories - just look at his parables. Stories stick in the memory when information does not. " Let’s dive in and explore why stories matter and how to tell them.   Notes:  https://www.malcolmcox.org/teaching-tip-407-your-voice-matters-part-12-feedback-in-advance-tips-for-new-and-inexperienced-speakers-malcolm-cox-2/ Send questions and comments here ➡️ malcolm@malcolmcox.org Watch This Next:  From 4 years ago -Tuesday Teaching Tip 230 - "How to use stories - "The Heart of Communication", Part 5. https://youtu.be/W1ULxKQxjKI - From 6 years ago - "Why You Need Keynote Stories", https://youtu.be/zr_tE4qirEM?feature=shared - From 7 years ago - Tuesday Teaching Tips, Episode 96 - "How to re-enact a story", https://youtu.be/W9kO12QUlXM - From 7 years ago - Tuesday Teaching Tips, Episode 90 - "What is the difference between an anecdote and a story?" http

Today, we explore a thought-provoking idea from Ronald Rolheiser: Spirituality is not an option; it is essential. The only question is whether it gives life or destroys it. What we do with our inner fire, our restless energy, defines our spirituality. How does this connect with Jesus, our relationship with God, and the way we approach personal devotion? Let’s explore.

Today, we conclude by exploring a second tip from my friend Rob Payne. Rob says: "Pray and practise - preferably with people who can give you constructive feedback." We've covered the prayer point elsewhere, but today, I'd like to discuss engaging with people who can give you "constructive feedback." Specifically, I'm talking about looking for feedback before we speak, not just afterwards.

Is the Sabbath relevant for Christians today? Today, I want to hear from you. I’m considering doing a short series on the relevance of the Sabbath for Christians today—but before I commit, I need to know: Is this something you’re interested in?

Today we conclude exploring a tip from my friend Anna Oliver. Anna says: "Who is your audience? What is their age/culture/religious background? Aim to engage them by saying or doing at least one thing they would be able to relate to. Our current society is no longer interested in listening to a 30-minute talk on a topic if there is no attempt by the speaker to engage them/draw their attention.

In this series, we are exploring how approaching our Bible study as a hobby can make all the difference. Today, we dive into the treasury of Bible study resources.

Today's tip is another from my friend Roger Packham.  Roger says: "Include personal sharing: Consider your examples/ illustrations and how you use self-disclosure to connect with others through your teaching/preaching." Thanks, Roger. Your point is vitally important. What does healthy personal sharing look like? How do we discern the difference between 'want to tell' and 'need to know'?

Today's tip comes from Trevor Mendez in Boston.  Trevor says: "Spend lots of time in contemplative prayer, seeking God's guidance over what you'll say and how." Thanks, Trevor. Your point is vitally important. What does this mean? Why is contemplative prayer important, and how do we open ourselves to God's guidance through prayer?
