Teaching

This past weekend was an altogether new experience for me. I had my first chance at teaching to an audience.

I've already spoken, danced, or just had fun on stage in front of a few thousand people. I've also tought various outdoors skills to groups. But this was my first time teaching leadership skills and values, even if it was only to a hundred or so people.

Over the weekend, my family was brought down to Michigan to speak at a business conference being held there. We were given a chance to share our faith in God, our values, our experiences, and our love for family and ministry.

I covered two topics during my time there. The first, was about a youth leadership conference I attended some years ago (and consequently became a Christian). Then, I tought on the subject of integration. The fact that we need to openly combine all aspects of our lives. You can't only be a christian at church, you can't only be a parent when you're with your child, and you can't only be in business when you're at work!

A great example of integration, is driving down to a business conference a couple of days early, with your family, to see the sights and make a short vacation out of the business trip.

The whole weekend was a great experience for my family and I, and we are incredibly humbled that they would want us to go down there and share with them.
