Beyond Monologue

What if your next evangelistic talk didn’t feel like a monologue—but a meaningful conversation? Beyond Monologue: Preparing Interactive Talks reimagines how we engage people with the story of Jesus in our public events. Drawing on years of hands-on experience and filled with real-life stories, cultural insights, and scriptural reflections, Luke Cawley offers a fresh, interactive approach to speaking that’s bearing fruit across the UK and Europe—on university campuses and in local churches alike. This audiobook is a vital resource for anyone involved in outreach—whether you’re a speaker or an organiser. It’s also a powerful tool for preaching and leadership teams seeking to revitalise how they connect with their audience. Rather than sticking to one-way communication, Cawley helps us move beyond the monologue—to spark meaningful dialogue, ask the right questions, and meet people where they truly are. In an age that values authenticity and agency, Beyond Monologue shows how we can make space for sceptics and seekers to explore faith with honesty and hope. What listeners are saying: “A treasure trove of lessons and ideas that will help you deliver an interactive talk that engages, inspires and influences.” — Tim Adams, General Secretary, International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES) “If you are involved in public proclamation of the gospel, then this is essential listening.” — Kristi Mair, Oak Hill College “Please, listen and innovate. No gimmick—it’s right and it works. It’s time for a fresh, dialogue-driven apologetic.” — Dave Benson, London Institute for Contemporary Christianity (LICC) Whether you’re new to public speaking or a seasoned evangelist, Beyond Monologue invites you to discover a better conversation—and a more dynamic way of sharing the gospel.
