00:00Hello, how are you? Welcome to the fifth session of the subject Formation of
00:19Preachers. Starting with this session, we will begin to look at technical aspects of planning.
00:27general overview of the topic you will cover in your sermon. The objective of this session is to explain how
00:37Plan your preaching properly so that it is more organized and more effective in the eyes of your audience.
00:46Audience. I suggest that, if possible, you take note of what I am about to share with you.
00:55Because a little later we will see how to structure a topic, and this implies that we will see stages, points to
01:05I think it's a good idea to take notes so you can appreciate the information more clearly.
01:13that I'm going to share with you. Well, you'll remember that I previously talked to you about the analysis of the
01:22The audience is an important element for the preacher, as in this session we will see more of
01:30Detail the importance of this practice. When developing the audience analysis, you should focus on six
01:40Main points. Potential needs, attitudes, socioeconomic level, level of
01:49knowledge, the environment, and demographics. When you are invited to share on a topic, the first
01:59The information you require is this, and this information should preferably be provided to you by the person who...
02:07He invites us to preach. Let's look at each of them below. First, we state the needs.
02:17In this sense, the analysis is aimed at trying to detect spiritual and material needs.
02:27of that particular auditorium. This information is very valuable because it tells you where you should go.
02:36Direct your preaching. You must identify which aspects need emphasis so that your preaching
02:45resonate with the audience's needs. Often, the title of the topic you're going to...
02:54Preaching already indicates some need to be addressed, proposed, of course, by the organizers.
03:03But it is at this moment that your discernment can show you the way to go in your preaching.
03:12For example, you arrive at a place where you are going to preach on the topic of God's love.
03:22Your audience is made up of married couples who are already in parish groups, but who are coming to the event
03:30in which you will preach about various problems.
03:34Your programming of the topic is to direct it towards the love between the person, but your discernment
03:44It indicates that you should talk more about love between partners and towards children, since by persevering
03:53In some parish group, you can assume that each spouse's personal encounter with the Lord has already taken place.
04:01The need of that particular audience is to hear about the love that God reaches out to us.
04:10for my spouse and for my children, and that this love gives us the strength to overcome any problem.
04:19Therefore, thanks to having detected that need, you deprogram yourself and reprogram yourself
04:29so that your preaching is directed to the topic that addresses that identified need.
04:36After identifying the specific need your audience needs to hear, you need to see what positive attitude
04:47You are going to reinforce your topic, or rather, what negative attitude needs to be eradicated.
04:53To clarify, regarding this topic, I'm not referring to your attitude as a preacher,
05:02but rather attitudes that you detect in the behavior of the audience, positive or negative.
05:10An example of a positive attitude to reinforce in the topic I'm proposing would be that couples
05:18give themselves the opportunity to experience God's love in their marriage.
05:25An example of a negative attitude to eradicate would be nurturing hatred or resentment in your relationship.
05:34The attitudes you choose to implement in your preaching should be well defined.
05:44And they must also be clear, since they will be part of the columns on which you will structure your topic.
05:54That's why, as I mentioned in previous sessions, it's important that, preferably,
06:02Obtain as much information as possible about the audience profile in advance,
06:09so that when you plan your topic, you already have a clear picture of how you are going to develop it.
06:17and you won't be forced to improvise when you preach.
06:24Therefore, once you have identified the needs of the audience,
06:33analyze what the problem might be in it,
06:37so that you can decide to focus your topic on the attitude(s) you consider most important to highlight.
06:47Obviously, when defining the attitude, you must make a clear statement,
06:56depending on whether it is positive or negative,
07:00And your position on this matter must also be very clear.
07:05Another important aspect for analyzing your audience is the socioeconomic level.
07:14At this point, you should analyze which socioeconomic level it belongs to.
07:21potential social circles and likely audience interests
07:26to prepare the arguments, the language, and even the appropriate clothing.
07:35We've already talked about empathy,
07:38which consists of having the ability to put oneself in the other person's shoes
07:44in order to understand their situation.
07:48This empathy can be achieved if you do a proper analysis of this particular point.
07:55Remember the example I gave you of the preacher who presents himself to his audience of limited means
08:05and he is dressed formally and with ostentatious accessories.
08:12In this type of audience, it is more difficult for the preacher to empathize with the people.
08:19I'm not saying the preacher did it intentionally.
08:25Sometimes, he even preached at an event that required him to be dressed like that.
08:33But it did fail to adapt to the audience's profile.
08:37I was telling you that in those cases, I try to adapt by taking off my jacket and tie, for example.
08:48This way I look less formal and maybe people will feel more comfortable having me in front of them.
08:55Language is another aspect that can make your presentation successful.
09:04Use your language employing words or expressions according to the socioeconomic level to which your audience belongs.
09:14Maintaining due respect, without using offensive or inappropriate language
09:20that could give a bad testimony about you as a Christian.
09:28The fourth point I want to share with you regarding audience analysis
09:34It is the level of knowledge.
09:37This point is important for deciding the level of preparation you will give to the topic
09:44in terms of context.
09:47That is, to the audience of the example I proposed to you
09:52Regarding marriages that persevere in parish groups,
09:57the level of content of your preaching that you can use
10:01It can be larger with respect to an audience in a querigma
10:06where people who have not been evangelized go
10:10and whose spiritual preparation is less.
10:14As a fifth point, analyze the environment, both physical and spiritual.
10:23Try to see if the environment where the event takes place
10:27does he have some kind of social problem,
10:31such as gang activity, drug addiction, etc.
10:36These are factors you can incorporate into your preaching to address your topic.
10:43This refers to the physical environment.
10:48Regarding the spiritual atmosphere,
10:51You must analyze what the spiritual state of the audience might be.
10:56On another occasion when I was invited to preach,
11:02I had to go to a neighborhood where,
11:05although there were walls painted with the image of the Virgin Mary,
11:10There could also be images of the one they call Santa Muerte (Holy Death).
11:15and other non-Christian images.
11:17This gives you an idea of the type of spirituality that surrounds the auditorium.
11:25to whom you are going to preach
11:27and that you can incorporate into your preaching if you consider it appropriate.
11:35Finally, it analyzes the demographics,
11:39That is, the structure and dynamics of the people surrounding your audience.
11:45This point is important because it can tell you about people's customs.
11:53of their culture, their traditions, etc.
11:56And with this information,
11:59You can guide the audience to the point in the topic you want them to reach,
12:03making your preaching more local.
12:07That is, adapting it to the reality of the audience according to their way of life.
12:15These six points that we have just reviewed,
12:19They will give you a more comprehensive audience analysis.
12:23With practice,
12:25You will develop the ability to abbreviate these six points.
12:29But for educational purposes,
12:31I'll present them all to you in a more complete way.
12:35to prepare your sermon.
12:37Next,
12:41We will now look at the principles for the general planning of the topic.
12:46I'll explain it to you in general terms.
12:48how its development is from three main aspects.
12:53The foundation and how they are formed.
12:56The construction with its main points.
13:00And finally, the closing.
