Today's tip is 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. We have been touching on these all the way through this series, and we will do so in future episodes, but I want to talk about some specific Bible study aids that have helped me over the years.

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'?

Have you ever found yourself in a conversation where you wanted to share your faith, but the words just wouldn’t come out? Maybe you weren’t sure where to start or how to make it relatable. Today, we’re going to learn from the apostle Paul—how he shared his faith story in different settings and how YOU can confidently do the same. By the end of this video, you'll have a clear, simple framework to tell your story in a way that truly connects.

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?

Today's tip comes from my friend Ben Dannatt.  Ben says: "Thank you for putting this together. Be sure to put in what you taught me about having dynamic titles for the sermons and the points within the sermon. It has really helped me." Thanks, Ben. Your point is vitally important.

Today's tip comes from my friend Rob Payne. Rob says: "Keep working at the material until you can sum up the whole sermon in one succinct sentence and end with that sentence." Thanks, Rob.

Today's tip comes from Nick Winn in Lusaka. Nick says: "Hi Malcolm. Thank you for all you do. TIP: Biblical preaching by Haddon Robinson is a must read for any preacher. One particular key nugget he gives, in my opinion, and has helped me tremendously, is your preparation. For every 10 minutes you speak, at least 4 hours of prep." I offer three tips....

Our first tip comes from my friend Roger Packham, a teacher and therapeutic counsellor. He and his wife have been instrumental in founding and developing the Dorset Church of Christ - https://www.youtube.com/@TheDorsetChurchofChrist. --- Today's Tip Roger says: "Have good quiet times: Take time to dig into a topic. Look at different translations (NIV/ESV/NASB recommended), be curious about words and language ([https://biblehub.com/interlinear/](https://biblehub.com/interlinear/)) and read around a subject/topic. Lots of great lessons come from our quiet times and reaching towards a deeper relationship with God."

Where do preachers and teachers of Scripture get their strength from? Before we talk about the 'hows' of preaching and teaching, we must understand where the power lies. Therefore, before we encounter our first tip next week from my friend Roger Packham, I want to say a few words about the power of the Spirit.  Notes: https://www.malcolmcox.org/teaching-tip-397-your-voice-matters-tips-for-new-inexperienced-speakers-part-2-spirit-power/ Send questions and comments here ➡️ malcolm@malcolmcox.org Watch This Next: https://youtu.be/SmiNzOfS2Cg Subscribe to my Podcast: https://audioboom.com/channels/4909728.rss Get a copy of my free eBook on spiritual disciplines, “How God grows His people”, sign up at my website: http://[www.malcolmcox.org](http://www.malcolmcox.org/).  Connect with me!

Do you believe your voice matters?
