Facing My Demon

This semester is going to perhaps be the most difficult semester for me during my studies at seminary. The reason: public speaking.

I'm taking three courses, Preaching and Worship, Advanced Exegesis: I. Corinthians, and Systematic Theology "B". The 3rd course is no problem, but the first two courses require some public speaking which is something I've dreaded since beginning my Masteral studies. That's why I've left these courses to my last year: I hate public speaking. It's my worst fear. I'd prefer most kinds of suffering over public speaking, but somehow or another, I feel this is a necessary process I need to go through.

I have to face this demon, once and for all. By God's grace - and only so - I will defeat this demon.
