1. First, I want the topics to be inherently interesting. If it's not interesting, it's not your fault. It's mine. So I like to make it interesting and keep it interesting. If it isn't, feel free to check your emails.
2. I want to talk about subjects that I never heard when I was in seminary or church. The topics I speak on are topics that maybe 99 percent of people have never heard before. For example, in my final chapel message, I spoke on Luke 3:23 and on the topic of Jesus and the age 30 transition. This is the kind of subject that isn't talked about in most places.
I might add a third: I speak without notes, but that's a personal choice.
Thanks for reading!
