Questions

1) If "God is at work," as Yaconelli suggests, should faithful servant speakers learn and practice extemporaneous and perhaps even impromptu speech? (68)

2) How would you describe Yaconelli's apparent ethos based on this short clip? Are there particular virtues, particularly fruit of the Spirit, that seem to be reflected in his character as he communicates with this audience of youth ministers/workers? (87-94)

3) Does Yaconelli react fittingly when his manuscript or notes fall off the stand? Would the same response have been fitting for someone giving an academic lecture or the speech in response to receiving the Nobel Peace Prize? Explain.
