Pre-Conference Session


Masterful, Memorable Messaging for Speakers (Co-taught with Lisa Saruga)

In this interactive workshop, participants will explore how God formed our minds and the effectiveness and impact of engaging the senses as we speak to audiences. Peg Arnold and Lisa Saruga, both counselors and educators, will talk about how the brain reacts to various stimuli and how we can use this knowledge to bring our messages to life as we speak. Discover how drama, props, and visual aids can be used to help illustrate scriptural analogies, capture attention, trigger emotion, and improve retention. Participants will be empowered and equipped with various teaching techniques and tools to implement and ignite their personal, God-given message. Expect to have some laugh-out-loud fun in this three-hour session. Peg’s book, Making Your Message Memorable, will be used as a resource in this session.
