"The recorded message was done taking on what I like to call, the “Dawson Challenge.” The past six years of mentoring under Pastor Eric he always tried to get me to preach without notes… Sometimes I could manage to preach down to a set of index cards with a few bullet points but I really didn’t feel comfortable with that much at all. I then went back into completely composing them but then found a perfect rhythm of using my voice recorder to sketch out ideas earlier in the week.
For him, I still wasn’t expressing my true spiritual
sketch of the texts. I am still trying
to find a happy medium between the two but for this evening, the day after my
ordination I have to agree with him that I needed to just speak and let the
Spirit do the rest.
So~ here is my first witness composed completely by the
Spirit, no paper, no notes!
I share as we all need to share our witness to Christ
working in our lives to live for His Gospel of Grace."
