- You can go somewhere, but if you leave your audience behind it's not going to be a very successful trip - You need to make sure they know where you are going (connectedness and transitions in a talk)
- Be YOU when you get in front of people... find your voice and who you are, don't just try and mimic the personalities of your favorite communicators
- The goal is never to compete with God, but to work WITH God... which means honoring God by working hard to engage your audience and humbly seeking Him throughout the whole process with guidance how to do that, being God's mouthpieces... He's the one who ultimately does the talking and life changing
- People need great insight from the Word of God, but if it's not communicated in way they'll understand, feel the need, or know what to do with it, it'll be meaningless
- Our culture is changing, and thus our methods need to change and the way we communicate needs to change... there is too much at stake to not be willing to swallow our pride in "our way" to not be willing to see things through the lens of "what will communicate God's truth most effectively to this crowd?"
