A competent communicator...

 

When asked to think of someone whom I believe to be a competent communicator, I immediately thought of my pastor.  I believe my pastor is an effective communicator for many reasons.  The first is because he is passionate about what he is talking about.  His passion and enthusiasm are obvious even before he begins to speak.  When he does speak, he always seems very well prepared. He seems to know exactly what he is going to say and what direction he wants his words to go.   He has a way of capturing his audience and maintaining everyone’s attention through his words and his actions.  He is definitely not a boring preacher.  The final reason I believe my pastor is an effective communicator is because he is an honest man with integrity.  He will tell you how it is and you always know where he stands.  He does not stand in front of the congregation and babble on about things that are not relevant to our life.  He also doesn’t say one thing and do another.  For those reasons, I believe my pastor is an effective communicator and a respected man in the community. 

I am proud to have Pastor Bill Godair as my pastor.  I would love to have any of the characteristics previously mentioned but the one I would like to model the most is by having the charisma he has.  When he speaks, people really listen to what he has to say.  This is not only true from the podium on Sunday morning or Wednesday night but in general conversation with people in the church as well as the community.
