Once you have your talk sheet created you need to rehearse it.  When I first started speaking (preaching) I practiced every sermon.  I had a rottweiler and if ever there will be a dog in heaven its him.

Once the research has been conducted a talk sheet should be created.  Your talk sheet is a map that guides you through the beginning to the end of your presentation.  If you are using curriculum or teaching from a book you should NEVER use these resources as your talk sheet.

As I shared yesterday confidence is the key to overcoming your fear of public speaking and preparation is how you increase your confidence.  The first step in preparation is research and study.  The more you know about the topic you are speaking about the more confidence and passion you will possess when talking about it.

Today I had the opportunity to pour  into one of the leaders at Harrah Church.  We talked about public speaking and a few things that I think could be helpful to many.
