Impromptu Speaking

Will you be ready to speak if called upon without any notice? Impromptu speeches occur without warning and don't offer any time to prepare. These opportunities to "say a few words" often come up at family events, retirement parties, holiday gatherings, or during times of grief. God providentially places His children before an assembly to give a word of encouragement, advice, or comfort but all too often we shy away from them. The fear of not knowing what to say drives us to decline these invitations. I want to discuss the two biggest hindrances to impromptu speaking as well as give three keys to being ready if the opportunity arrises. In the end, I want more Christians to speak up when the world is looking for answers.
