We have received a lot of feedback from this series of articles. Over the next week, we will be looking over the final seven laws of communication. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on this!
15. Humor is the quickest way to a person’s heart.
Every whale that goes down deep eventually has to come up for air or he or she will die. Wise is the preacher who understands the proper use of humor and applies on it a consistent basis. Humor will:
- Release tension in people’s hearts and minds.
- Refuel people so they can dive deep with you again.
- Refresh the audience and open their minds to new thoughts.
- Remind them that the preacher is human and enjoys life.
When we speak about humor, we are not necessarily speaking about telling jokes to fill in time. The masterful communicator uses all of the tools available, and humor is one of the most important ones. Make people laugh and you will win their hearts!
