I'm speaking at a women's conference next year. I'm pretty excited about it. I get to do three talks in a SERIES! Guys, I know this is normal stuff for you, but it's pretty rare that a woman gets asked to do any straight expositional talks (not specifically evangelistic or topical) let alone 3 in a row. I'll be working from John's gospel - John 3, 6 and 11. I have evangelistic talks on John 6 and 11 already (I did Lazarus last night) which I'll work up some more. I'm pretty into John 3 (Nicodemus) at the moment and I think it will make a good intro to the set.
But I know how this will go. When I actually sit down to write, it will all be bad and I'll remember how terrible I am at writing talks. I'll say that any success I had in the past was just a fluke and that I'd prefer to pull out my toenails, one by one, than to keep going.
Ha! That's exactly how I feel when writing curriculum. Every time.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the conference happening? Can all your female blog followers come and cheer you on??
ReplyDeleteIt's in toowoomba. Last weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou realise, now, Simone, that this means you'll have to go to a women's conference, right? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI know.
