Jesus had 15 methods for effective public speaking according to the document. Some of the key methods included using props, stories, allusions and illustrations to explain concepts. He would tailor his messages to fit the experience and maturity of his audience. He also used scriptural references, questions, demonstrations and digestible nuggets to engage people and make his points memorable.
