The introduction to this spiritual broadcast, which includes music, is done by a narrator who states the topic, scripture, name of the speaker/pastor and the relevant information(life application) which establishes a clear purpose engaging the listener immediately.
The content of the broadcast is made relevant by the Pastor, who provides humor, life experiences and exposition to the text to make it more applicable to the listening audience. Within that 15 to 20 minutes or so the Speaker/Pastor gives his interpretation of the scripture with succinct concepts that are clearly defined and background is given if it comes from the Greek, Hebrew or Latin background.
His delivery of the lesson, is as stated, relevant and clear so that if there are listeners who are new to the religious experience can relate. He speaks intelligently, articulately and enunciates so that all the words and phrases are clearly understood. The overall message given in the broadcast is given as if you are listening to a friend, brother, father or grandfather.
To stress his message or to reach his goal(saving lost souls), he applies life-applicable questions, often with tears or a tremor in his voice. The broadcast leads the listening audience to think on the topic.
The graphic on the site will vary depending on the season or topic. The colors are eye catching, but yet soothes the viewers. Music is also used during the narrative portion of the broadcast and the Pastor at times will share music from the choir of his church.
The broadcast is done without background noise or technical issues. Music is used during the transition from the narrator and the main speaker. As they switch back and forth, they address each other by name to signal an end to their speaking part. The entire length of the broadcast is appropriate for the topic and the audience. It is not too lengthy, which keeps the audience engaged and interested.
