Demonstrating Competent Communication


The person that I find that displays and demonstrates competent communication  is the Bishop of my church. He is very effective in his delivery and brings every message down to laymen’s terms. I think trying to understand the BIBLE is kind of difficult but having a teacher that can break down the sections to make you understand and really feel the power of the word or scripture is very important. My Bishop has a slight accent because he is from South Africa but he articulates so well that you would never know it. My Bishop is passionate about the word and dedicated to making sure his members understand it and can apply it with every encounter in our life. He can magnify the word and make you feel joy even when you are undergoing the worst possible triumph. He speaks with power, courage and confidence and these traits are important when you are seeking people to worship with you.

My Bishop is very effective based on his knowledge and confidence in his delivery of the word. He is very educated and wants to be sure that we understand what he is teaching so we can go out there and teach the message with the same flow of confidence that he delivers with. He is very interactive and he wants his congregation to participate and exhibit their knowledge to the subject area. He wants to make everyone feel comfortable and willing to answer a question even if they are not on the right flow. My bishop never makes anyone feel as if they are missing the mark or not understanding what he is preaching. He has a way to get everyone involved and excited about the lessons that they are learning about the LORD. There are many interpretations in the BIBLE and he can deliver his message making you agree with him even if you are having a different interpretation.

I would love to exhibit the knowledge and confidence that my bishop displays when he is in front of a very large crowd. I just instantly freeze up and lose my train of thought and feel like I cannot complete my mission I set out to complete. I would love to exhibit some of the same communications behaviors that my Bishop conducts because being a powerful public speaker is a powerful gift to have and can take you a long way in almost any field.

  1. Your Bishop sounds like a wonderful man. It is truly wonderful to be able to surround yourself by others that motivate you and guide you towards being the best person you can be. Also, being able to take difficult text and explain it in terms other people are able to understand is a great strength to have in communication. The terms we use as educators is not always known by parents and other community members. Being able to take those terms and explain them to others in ways that they are able to understand would be a great skill to have while working with students and families.

  2. Kereba,

    I too enjoy listening to Bishops and Pastors who are able to bring the word to my heart and move me to act. You should share this with your Bishop so that he will feel up lifted and encouraged. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me.
