Why do so many of us get nervous when public speaking? Communication expert Lawrence Bernstein says the key to dealing with the pressure is as simple as having a casual chat. He introduces the "coffee shop test" as a way to help you overcome nerves, connect with your audience and deliver a message that truly resonates. After the talk, Modupe explains a similar approach in academia called the "Grandma test," and how public speaking can be as simple as a conversation with grandma.

The ax is at the root of the tree; the winnowing fork is separating the wheat from the chaff. Tithing a full 10% is good for our souls because it reduces our choices, makes us happier, and simplifies our lives. Tithing is the ax and winnowing fork that gets rid of what is not needed so that we may receive what is being gifted to us - Jesus.…
Advent, 1st Sunday. Life without Advent leads to exhaustion, as we follow the gods of capitalism, consumerism, hedonism, and media overload. Besides, what about our soul? That is why God gave us Advent. Stay awake! Keep alert! God is already working in the world! Come, let us walk in the light of the Lord!…
Christ the King 2013. We have been rescued and transferred to the kingdom of light by Christ, the king of all creation. There is nothing that can happen to us now.
When we are rich toward ourselves, we may be rich, but we are also fools. Let's talk about money, so we may be rich toward God, and be freed from the tyranny of being possessed by our possessions.
Caregiver Sunday 2013. As U2 sang in "One" we get to carry each other. Caregivers do this important and exhausting work. We ask God's blessing on them today.
God told the people (in Ezekiel) I will "give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you." Paul says (in Romans) that the same Spirit which raised Jesus from the dead has been given to us. There are plenty of reasons to "rejoice in the power of the Holy Spirit." We have been called to join the dance with the Lord of the Dance.…
To honor is to "fix the value" on someone or something. But what if our first impressions are wrong? The phrase "honor all persons" is a challenge to move beyond "single stories" which limit our relationships. We honor as we value persons as individuals for whom Jesus died.
The problem with platitudes is that they are an attempt to explain or fix what cannot be explained or fixed. It's best just to bypass phrases like "It's God's will" and go straight to real help by saying, "I'm sad for your loss. I care about you." And always pray. That is perhaps the best way to help the suffering.…
A significant teaching within our Judeo-Christian heritage is God's command to care for the widow, the orphan and the foreigner living within our society. The weak and the vulnerable were under the LORD's protection in the Old Testament and Jesus came preaching good news to the poor. This emphasis continued in the early church, leading to great increases in the number of believers. All though out time, Christians have supported the weak by building hospitals and schools and opening food pantries. Does it apply to government as well?…
Being faint of heart is not a character flaw--it is part of the human condition. The Bible calls it being wrapped in darkness. Today we call it despair, for being hopeless and helpless. Let us be of good courage and encourage the despairing around us.
The example of the martyrs teaches us that "returning to no one evil for evil" is not a sign of weakness. Nor is it "doing nothing." It is a powerful witness of love. It takes great courage. It prevents us from bearing the guilt of neighborhood bullies.
We suffer when we encounter something we don't like, cannot fix, cannot make go away, cannot explain. When we let our finite stories rest in God's transfinite story, then we can suffer in peace.
We have all been affected by words that have hurt, but each one of us also has the gift of the Holy Spirit that allows us to use speech as blessing.
