OK Speech and Debate: Frisco...here we come!

Hi there EPIKOS Club Members! Just wanted to send you a short note to ask you to pray for the OKC folks who are headed to Frisco, TX for the upcoming tourney this week. Please pray for safety, service, and success! If you are competing in Frisco, but haven't let Kayla know, please do as we want to add you to the group text.

Upcoming...we are looking ahead to next year's fall class schedule, and potentially exhibiting at the upcoming OCHEC convention. If you have experience or interest in either of these areas, please contact Kayla via email or cell. We'd love to talk to you about how you can pray and serve.

All for HIS glory! Blessings!

The fear of public speaking...

“Students of public speaking continually ask, "How can I overcome self-consciousness and the fear that paralyzes me before an audience?" Did you ever notice in looking from a train window that some horses feed near the track and never even pause to look up at the thundering cars, while just ahead at the next railroad crossing a farmer's wife will be nervously trying to quiet her scared horse as
the train goes by? How would you cure a horse that is afraid of cars—graze him in a back-woods lot where he would never see steam-engines or automobiles, or drive or pasture him where he would frequently see the machines?
Apply horse-sense to ridding yourself of self-consciousness and fear: face an audience as frequently as you can, and you will soon stop shying. You can never attain
freedom from stage-fright by reading a treatise. A book may give you excellent suggestions on how best to conduct yourself in the water, but sooner or later you must get wet, perhaps even strangle and be "half scared to death." There are a great many "wetless" bathing suits worn at the seashore, but no one ever learns to swim in them. To plunge is the only way.” ― Dale Carnegie
