Questions

1) What does Hestenes mean when she says that as a woman she "found her voice"? Could this reflect the coming of communicative justice for her in the midst of a male-dominated church culture? (13)

2) How would you describe Hestenes' verbal expressiveness in terms of her ethos, including the virtues reflected in the Fruit of the Spirit? (37, 86, 87-94)?

3) What role did Christian community play in helping Hestenes develop as a speaker and leader? What does her experience suggest about how servant speakers might overcome the challenges of speech apprehension? (33-37)
