In this episode, Michele Cushatt and Kathi Lipp unearth some practicalities when it comes to uncovering ways to know one’s speaking audience. In order to honor the audience, a speaker needs to unearth the background, environment, flavor of the surrounding area, current events, and perceived needs of the event coordinator.
Paul’s words to the church in Galatians 6:10 speaks to those of us who speak as well: “So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.”
