Regarding talents. Do you think my friend has a natural talent for this?

I’m not sure this is the proper thread to post this, but pardon me if it’s the wrong one.

So I was talking to my sister in Christ about abortion. Then later on, we decided to play a debate game. I told her how I feel so weak in dialoguing with pro abortion people. So she invited me to practice my debating skills where she will pretend she supports abortion and she challenged me on some questions. Then I decided to switch it around and be the one pretending to support abortion and I have her challenge questions. I taped both sessions. But only for some minutes because we were in a train station here and we were both waiting for our train. I decided to share the part where I challenged her and see how she answers.

From my judgment, it seems she has a natural debating talent. It’s just my impression. But I want to show you all here and see if You think my impression is right. I don’t know if it’s really a talent or if I just find it a talent because she just does it better than my abilities. Or maybe she is just very grown(she’s 59). She also doesn’t know if it’s really a talent or not. But I want to see what everyone here thinks. Because if you think it’s a talent, then I’ll encourage her to go to one of those prolife walks and join me and my friends when we go around and have conversations with people.

Btw, since this is quite short, I am planning to continue recording some more of this kind of debate game when we get a chance.

You still sounded like a better debater in this than her, even if you for play are taking the untrue side of the debate. It's all about how well you can speak. She doesnt seem to speak all that well, and I mean no slight to the lady, it just is what it is. I dont speak that well either. I can hear the truth and the truth has the ring of truth and that pastor sure had his ducks in a row when explaining it...but can I pass the same truth along as well as he did? Paraphrase his words?

You can see her searching and grasping at straws of things that she heard before and she is trying to remember. She doesnt hold that position of understanding though. (maybe I'm wrong? but that was my impression.)

Here’s another video of us I gotta share. This was before we filmed that video. Because I am planning to make a new channel of just talking about apologetics or anything Bible study related. This is just one of the videos I plan to add bit. But for now I put it in another account where I have it on private. Look at this one. I was just interviewing her about what she has to say regarding pride and the LGBT agenda. I’m planning to do interviews of friends, and she is just one of them. In this video, it seems she has some sort of talent. Maybe not in the debate part.

This is just starting from scratch. Since I’ve never done this before. I’m only choosing to interview those who seem to have the talent to speak. So before I choose her to be one of my regular interviees, I just want to see for sure if she’s talented in this regard. But I want to show others and see what other people’s opinion are. Before I decide to make her one of my regular interview people, so do you think this shows a talent or a gift that she might have?

As time goes on, I will upload more videos.
