Speaking at Surge

This post is a little late, as I spoke at Surge a couple of weeks ago, but I just got pictures. I got the opportunity to speak for our 7th and 8th grade youth program (Surge) and it was so much fun ! We were doing a series called "Spring Break Showdown" and I taught the first night of it on the story of David and Goliath. For my introduction, and to show how big Goliath was, I had a foamboard cut-out of Dirk from the Dallas Mavericks. I started out by saying how horrible a basketball player I am and how I played for a whole season my seventh grade year and never made a basket (the kids laughed at me). Then I talked about how amazing Dirk is and how he would totally school me if we played one-on-one. I would go into that game as an underdog...then, as you can imagine, I tied it into the story of David and Goliath. David, being the complete underdog, defeated the "Dirk of the Philistines" Goliath. I got good feedback from staff, students and volunteers. It was a great opportunity and speaking outside at Fellowship Lake was awesome!
