I Sound Like Ron Luce

At the end of Col­lege Win­ter Retreat I was told by a stu­dent prepar­ing to dri­ve back to Ari­zona that I sound like Ron Luce… “only smarter.”

I had nev­er heard of Mr. Luce pri­or to this state­ment and don’t know what to think about it. Ques­tions loom in my mind:

  1. Do I phys­i­cal­ly sound like Ron Luce or did the per­son mean that we have sim­i­lar speak­ing styles?
  2. Is Mr. Luce gen­er­al­ly con­sid­ered to be “all heat and no light” or is he a lumi­nous genius whom I have some­how man­aged to sur­pass?

If any­one knows us both and has a frame­work for com­par­i­son, could you please com­ment? I’m intrigued.

  1. glen, with all def­er­ence to the per­son who com­pared you to mr. luce.…i dis­agree.
    i will con­cur that your apti­tude is beyond his! mis­un­der­stand me not- mr. luce
    is a viable sol­dier in the cause. but to quote a sen­a­tor from
    the state of texas (ok para­phase), “…i know glen davis, glen davis is a
    friend of mine and .…”

  2. Glen, I dis­agree. Both you and Mr. Luce speak quite well, but I believe there is lit­tle com­par­i­son. I’ve had the plea­sure of hear­ing you speak last year, and I am employed in the Infor­ma­tion Tech­nol­o­gy Depart­ment at Teen Mania Min­istries now for sev­er­al months. I would like to com­ment that Mr. Luce speaks to cap­ture the hearts and minds of the youth that attend the Acquire the Fire events. In my opin­ion he does this very well. Teenagers tend to loose inter­est in some­thing or some­one that does not cap­ture their atten­tion, espe­cial­ly a sta­di­um full. Both you and Mr. Luce have your own unique abil­i­ties to keep their atten­tion focused on your ser­mons.
