And 2), You are none of these things.

Preaching is not a staged event under human control. It is not important where real preaching occurs or who the person is that God uses for this moment. What matters is that someone has listened to God and God has chosen to use this humble, listening soul. Preaching is that moment of potential when God breathes life into those present.
