00:00Hello, how are you? I warmly welcome you to the third session of the subject.
00:19Preacher Training. Before we begin, I want to remind you that for the next session,
00:27The evaluation will be based on chapter 2 of the apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium,
00:35Please keep this in mind. Starting with this session, as I promised,
00:44I will begin to share with you some useful techniques for the development of your preaching.
00:50be more effective for your audience. We'll see how to manage your physical presentation and your energy.
01:01with the aim of making them more pleasant and effective for those who see and hear you.
01:11We will see, as part of energetic preaching, the proper use of movement,
01:17Gestures and expressions. We will also see another fundamental aspect of preaching,
01:26Composure. And at this point, we'll analyze how your posture should be, how to make eye contact
01:35with your audience and how to manage the rhythm and pauses in your preaching.
01:41On previous occasions, I had mentioned to you that the objective of this subject is not to professionalize the
01:51preaching, since in the end the Holy Spirit will be the one who guides you and any method, technique or
02:00The tool becomes secondary. However, I believe that, since God is order, He definitely...
02:11It will be appreciated if you are an instrument that brings order to his way of preaching. And that is why we are here.
02:21I also believe that following a methodology greatly influences the point we were reflecting on in the session
02:29above, regarding the type of cable you want to be.
02:34I was telling you on that occasion that, talking with some brothers in faith about the abandonment that the
02:44A preacher should have a relationship with the Lord; we were talking about how important it is to be a good instrument.
02:52so that the word of God would reach everyone. I was telling them at that moment that the preacher,
03:00Because it is an instrument, it carries the message of salvation to others, and therefore I consider that the
03:10The preacher is like a cable that transmits that message. And I asked them, what kind of cable do you want?
03:20What is it? A copper cable or a fiber optic cable?
03:25For me, being an ordained preacher will definitely make you a fiber optic cable. Just like the
03:38Learning these techniques, which we will see below, will lead you to deliver the message more clearly.
03:47God wants to convey to the audience that He has entrusted to you.
03:53Two important points I'd like to discuss with you regarding your physical appearance, your attire, and your
04:03Personal appearance. While it is true that God will do His work thanks to your disposition, your way of dressing and of
04:13Dressing up before preaching can prepare your audience to listen to the Lord, or it can be a distraction.
04:22Lead people to focus their attention on something else, less on the topic you are preaching.
04:31You will recall that in the first session we talked about how the preacher can transmit his
04:38humanity in your words, because in this sense, you will also transmit your humanity with your way of
04:46dressing and getting ready.
04:50Without intending to dictate rules on how to dress when you're going to preach, I do think it's important to suggest that you...
04:58If possible, obtain information about your audience regarding their socioeconomic level, education,
05:07customs, etc., since this information will set the standard for deciding how to dress.
05:17This is essential, not necessarily, but it is recommended so that you dress more appropriately.
05:28You can choose an outfit that makes you feel comfortable and looks good at the same time, but the
05:36Dressing appropriately for your audience can help achieve a very important factor in the
05:43People connect with your preaching, with empathy.
05:48Having your audience identify with you gives you the advantage of being able to deliver your sermon more effectively.
05:58Indeed, because he will be more receptive and more attentive to what the Lord, through you,
06:06wants to share with you.
06:07However, one should not seek the audience's empathy at any cost.
06:16Let me give you an example.
06:19You go to a low-income area and you arrive dressed in formal, designer clothing, with jewelry and everything.
06:29You are going to share with your audience the theme, God is in poverty.
06:35While it is true that God can do His work in you, upon seeing you, your audience may think,
06:45How can he talk about something he hasn't experienced?
06:49What do you know about eating sometimes once a day?
06:53To live precariously dressed like that?
06:57With all those jewels?
07:01In this example there is no empathy and your audience may not receive your preaching with as much attention and in a convincing manner.
07:12I have, on some occasions, experienced a scenario similar to the one I just described to you.
07:21What I do is, for example, take off my jacket and tie.
07:28This way I don't look so formal anymore and the audience can see me as a bit more normal
07:36and receive my preaching with greater openness.
07:42Later on, we will see how, statistically, the visual aspect is important to an audience.
07:50But I believe that trying to adapt your wardrobe to the profile of the audience you are addressing
07:58It is important so that the people who see and hear you become interested in your preaching.
08:05thanks to the fact that they identify with you.
08:10In other words, there was empathy.
08:12Wearing very tight, low-cut, short, or patterned clothing can distract the audience.
08:23and to prevent preaching from having the same impact on them or from conveying incorrect ideas
08:31because they are distracted watching you but not listening to you.
08:36For example, on one occasion I was invited to share at a retreat for young people.
08:45The preacher who was scheduled before me was indeed dressed as a young man.
08:53But when I got a better look at him, I realized he was wearing a t-shirt with a rather grotesque print.
09:02to explain myself better.
09:06It was a print that, to be sure, didn't have a particular shape.
09:12but it was unpleasant to look at because it resembled something like lost souls or ghosts.
09:22It was difficult for me to pay attention because I was more intrigued by trying to guess.
09:30What was that print? I was interested in hearing about it.
09:33Even when I approached him to ask what print was on his shirt, he couldn't tell me.
09:42I do not recommend this in a preacher.
09:48Perhaps my comment seems a little exaggerated to you, but remember that when you preach you are a representative of Christ
09:56And your audience, before you even begin to preach, is already watching you.
10:04Other examples could be t-shirts with skull prints or other characters that have nothing to do with spiritual life
10:16or even that they oppose the spiritual life or even that they oppose it.
10:21Avoid, as much as possible, the use of hats, sunglasses and other accessories
10:28unless your preaching requires them for some particular reason.
10:35Otherwise, they will be a distraction to others and even to yourself.
10:42In the case of ladies, avoid wearing high heels as much as possible.
10:50or use one that gives you good traction
10:55Because, since the setting where you will preach can be very varied,
11:01It's best to be prepared for any type of flooring or decking.
11:06Sometimes, you also have to climb stairs.
11:11And high heels will surely be more uncomfortable and less safe for doing this.
11:20As you will see, there are several details you should take into account regarding your wardrobe.
11:28On the other hand, speaking of your personal appearance,
11:31I recommend that it be as natural as possible.
11:37especially in the case of women,
11:40Speaking more specifically about hair and makeup.
11:45Remember, sister, God made you beautiful by nature.
11:49And you don't need to dress up too much.
11:53Look, on another occasion, I happened to be in an evangelization course,
12:00preaching with other people.
12:04Among them was a lady who had a very elegant hairstyle,
12:09But in my opinion, nothing appropriate for an event of this type.
12:16We were outdoors and there was also some wind.
12:20She began her sermon and no more than 10 minutes passed
12:26when she was already struggling with her hair,
12:31because the wind started to mess up her hairstyle
12:34and it became a major distraction for her and the audience.
12:42Therefore, I recommend that your personal grooming be as natural as possible.
12:50Very well, next,
12:54We will look at another very important aspect for a preacher,
12:59body energy.
13:02We will analyze three fundamental points.
13:05that you must not lose sight of in your preaching.
13:09The movement, the gestures, and the expressions.
13:13I will share with you how these three points should be used
13:20so that your preaching may be more effective
13:23and with greater impact for your audience.
