Even a boring preacher can keep his audience’s attention if he’s brief. (I know you are never boring. I’m talking to the other guys.) Don’t wander here and there—get to the point and toss everything that doesn’t relate to the point. If you have more to say than can be said in a few minutes, break your teaching into shorter segments. This is how I teach at men’s retreats: I speak for ten minutes, and then I allow the men to discuss for ten minutes. Men love this format.
