Hear a Speech You Will Remember
I've spoken at churches, schools, community events, camps, VBSs, parties, and in various ministries. I have taught public speaking classes at our local speech and debate club, and at a local homeschool co-op. My book (in progress) on public speaking and communication, tentatively titled A Worthy Word, is set be be released in Spring 2020.
I have competed in speech and debate in the National Communication and Forensics Association (NCFCA) for 5 years and have earned dozens of speaking awards, including over 30 top-five placings and 8 tournament titles. In 2017, I placed 9th in Apologetics nationwide.
But my favorite facet of public speaking is seeing hearts and lives changed.

Following God is not about making rules for every area of your life.
It's about letting God rule every area of your life.
