Preaching with a stutter: accept your limitations, resist performing, and trust God to use you or redirect you

Mike's advice: address the nervousness, not the stutter itself. Key principle: be entirely genuine -- if pretending to be someone else just to keep a pulpit position, the pressure is unsustainable. Liberating frame: 'If they don't ask me back, I don't have to keep pretending.' Accept how God made you; he can use that or redirect you. Biblical examples: Moses had a speech impediment (Exodus 4:10); Jeremiah felt inadequate to speak (Jeremiah 1:6); Paul was criticized for his unrhetorical speaking style. Practical note: voice coaching may help with stutter management.
