�Speak with authority�
Most gurus speak as insecure children, but not Jesus, people said this of him:
“The crowds were astonished at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority”
How can you learn to speak and teach as “one who has authority”?
///THREAD///
1)Do not speak about anything you dont understand
You can not speak with authority on subjects you are not highly knowledgeable in
Too many people follow a few twitter accounts about a subject for 3 months and then start coaching on that subject
Stop it, you are hurting people
Before you can teach publicly with authority you need to put the ideas you have into practice
Coach 10+ people to success in the subject that you want to be an expert in, for free
Learn along the way
Be honest with them and let them know you are learning as you go
- Dont hedge your statements
When you speak to a large audience you must generalise
There is no room for nuance with most learners
Save the minor details and exceptions for the advanced students who can appreciate them
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.”
Jesus spoke boldly in simple absolutes using common language
This made his teachings clear and accessible to the masses
- Speak truth at a level that your audience can grasp
Truth has levels, breadth and depth
You must gage your audience and avoid info dumping on them
Sharing truths with unprepared masses is cruel and creates popular resistance to your message
Save the deep things for later
