Why No One Takes You Seriously as a Speaker (And How to Change That!)

If you aspire to speak for God with clarity and impact, you must view speaking as a craft—not just a gift. Too many women believe that public speaking is an innate talent, a gift from God that you either have or don’t. This mindset is a sneaky trick of the enemy to keep your voice silent. Pro tip—it’s all about training for Christian speakers.

While some people are naturally gifted speakers, it’s a myth that you must be born with the talent to be effective. Look at biblical figures like Moses and Paul—neither claimed to be natural orators, yet God chose both to lead and communicate His message. If they could become influential speakers, so can you.

Embrace Training for Your Speaking Craft

You can become an effective communicator by committing to the craft of speaking. Training for Christian speakers is essential to develop the skills to communicate God’s message effectively. Here are three practical steps to get you started:

1. Review and Set Goals

Reflect on your speaking journey. Who have you preached to this year? How did your preparation go? Assess your progress and set clear goals for where you want to go next.

2. Embrace the Learning Process

Don’t be discouraged if you’re not perfect at first. Every speaking opportunity is a step forward. The more you practice, the better you’ll become. View each speaking engagement as part of your overall journey.

3. Immerse Yourself in the Word and Write Daily

Daily Bible reading and writing can refine your thoughts and communication skills. It may feel awkward initially, but consistent practice will sharpen your ability to think, write, and speak clearly.

4. Seek Training

Invest in your speaking skills through books, classes, or Christian public speaking training programs. The more you learn, the more confident you’ll become. Each step of learning will expand your ability to communicate effectively.
