During her first job supervising children at a local swimming pool, Jevonya was struck with an overwhelming desire to jump off a 12-foot diving board, even though she couldn’t swim. The ambitious voice in her head saying you should jump too wasn’t one she could ignore.

To accomplish this goal, she saw what she needed to do - enlist a support system to help her. Standing at the edge of that diving board, Jevonya came to understand that anything is possible with a strong network. Many years later, she was once again confronted by that ambitious voice, but this time she came face to face with her identity as an introvert.

In Jevonya’s inspiring book, The Introvert’s Guide to Becoming a Master Networker, she challenges common misconceptions of introverts as passive, indifferent, and unassertive. She argues instead that introverts are uniquely designed to build the kind of deep, trusting relationships necessary for authentic networking.

Jevonya offers her readers a ten-step process for becoming a master networker, from an introvert’s perspective. She says, “This process requires time, patience, and hard work but one great thing about us introverts is that we aren’t afraid of hard work.”

In this Episode of the Bookcase Behind Me, Pastor Brandon Warr is Joined by Pastor Josiah Scheck of Christ Lutheran Church in Richmond, Missouri to discuss the topic of Adiaphora.

This topic is much more complex than "I can do whatever I want" as Pastor Scheck explains the philosophical, ecclesiastical, and civil realms of how adiaphora relates to our choices as well as our love for Christ and Neighbor.

Understanding different types of audiences will also help you determine their acceptance level. Following are some different categories of audiences and how to deal with each of them.

The Hostile Audience

This group disagrees with you and may even actively work against you. For a hostile audience, use these techniques:

Find common beliefs and establish a common ground.

Use appropriate humor to break the ice.

Don't start the presentation with an attack on their position.

You are only trying to persuade on one point; don't talk about anything else that could trigger disagreement.

Because of your differences, they will question your credibility. Increase your credibility with studies from experts or anything that will support your claim.

They will try to find reasons to not like you; don't give them any.

Don't tell them you are going to try to persuade them.

Express that you are looking for a win-win outcome rather than a win-lose situation.

If possible, meet with the audience more than once before challenging them on areas of disagreement.

Show them you've done your homework.

Respect their feelings, values, and integrity.

Use logical reasoning as clearly and as carefully as possible.

Use the Law of Connectivity and the Law of Balance.

The Neutral or Indifferent Audience

This audience understands your position, but doesn't care about the outcome. The key to dealing with this group is creating motivation and energy—be dynamic. To persuade the indifferent audience:

Spell out the benefits to them or the things around them.

Point out the downside of not accepting your proposal. Identify why they should care.

Grab their attention by using a story. Make them care by showing them how the topic affects them.

Get them to feel connected to your issues.

Avoid complex arguments.

Use concrete examples with familiar situations or events.

Use the Law of Involvement and the Law of Social Validation.

This is the fourth sermon in this series

What happens when God's people forget his grace? What happens when their worship becomes indifferent? How do you rekindle a passion for God?

Eine weitere Folge, voller Frohsinn und heiterer Gelassenheit. Jorgo und ich sitzen in der Küche und philosophieren über unsere alten Egos Armin Ambivalent und Ingo Indifferent, die uns einfach einnehmen... Eigentlich wollten wir die ganze Folge nur über uns sprechen, was wir dann doch nicht geschafft haben. ...dafür aber über unseren Hörer Tobi, der uns eine Mail geschickt hat. Ja, Tobi, wäre schon vorsichtig mit so etwas... Die Musik: ...wie immer aus dem "podsafemusiknetwork". Die Gruppe heißt 2012 und das Lied "Amado". In diesem Sinne. Frohe Ostern & dicke Eier.
