Course Information
Description
From TikTok to Ted Talks, the art of the spoken public narrative has never been more important or accessible. In this course, we will explore the art of preaching and public speaking as an aspect of leadership, drawing insights from a diverse range of thought leaders in religious and spiritual fields as well as comedy, business, health, psychology, and government. Through engaging readings, viewings, and in-class workshopping, students will learn how to write, craft and deliver compelling speeches and sermons that resonate with contemporary audiences. By focusing on non-Christian sources, we will broaden our understanding of effective communication and leadership in today's multicultural world.
