THE ICEBERG COMETH - A Portrait of Blended Families in America

With the statistical direction in place that by 2008 the most common form
of family will be step-families / blended families, America has a quiet trend
that holds 'iceberg theory' like issues. An iceberg only shows 1/8 of it's mass
floating visibly above the water line. A full 7/8 lies underneath, unseen,
unnoticed, yet holding the true massive power of it's damaging abilities.
There are too many "Titanic Families" cruising in America...
those step-families headed for trouble, and often too proud to ask for help.
There are too many "Titanic Churches" in denial of a large portion of
their congregation, i.e. families that are not the 'traditional' nuclear family.
Those blended families that sit quietly, unnoticed, and truly not growing
in their faith, or often fearful to 'get involved' in the church because
they don't feel they fully belong in the mainstream church activities.
They too seek to be embraced. Encouragement is needed for these families.
This message is perfect for local, regional or national church denominational meetings.
HR Conferences and educational or governmental associations will also benefit
and glean valuable insight from a secular version of this talk.

Growing from a "Step-Parent" to a "Walk-Parent"

A 'STEP' is a single action, then you stop.
A ''WALK' is a where we're going somewhere and have a destination.             family-walking-together.cm2

A Blend Family / STEP Family can learn to WALK TOGETHER.
You will WALK through an understanding of the SEASONS of SUCCESS.

    Dan and Rebecca will share a Godly message and vision of how to
encourage your family toward a commitment to supporting one another
through this naturally challenging family journey together.
'Step-Parent' to 'Walk-Parent' is 90 minutes of bible-based, psychologically
sound, and fabulously funny and biblically sound wisdom that you will hear
on this night. Great insight and fun for churches or faith-based groups.

What Do Our Children See, Hear and Feel ?

A 75 minute workshop especially designed for Youth Pastors, angry teen girl1.cm2
Faith-based school Educators & staff, Women's conferences or
women's group Bible Studies, this interactive session supports
those who work with children who have a desire for special
understanding of situations that children of divorce live through.

Based on research and interviews with 'children of divorce' both young boy w big eyes and ears1.cm2
current day, and adults who once lived through the hurt and the
challenges, this session will add value to any professional or
para-professional group or individual. Armed with increased
understanding they can better formulate plans and understand
the journey to best serve the youth they work with.

Rebecca Snell, herself a child of divorce, now a parent in it, brings the perspective of having lived on both sides of the battlefield and shares a heart warming, hope filled, deeply insightful faith-lived message.

"Our Defining Moments" as Men

Dan offers a very candid and transparent talk to 'men only' about 'spiritual warfare', the issue of temptation, the 'buddies' we choose,
stress in the workplace, gaining and losing 'power'
attention to health, being a single Dad, and finally how to lose or keep a marriage.

Dan shares how our daily 'defining moments' impact a man's thinking,
and how he has both failed, and now is victorious, by the grace of God.

Having gone from a decade in public office, shaking hands with four U.S. Presidents
to the extreme opposite experiences of loss of family, loss of job, loss of home,
and even public embarrassment, his insightful message
brings most men's groups and individuals to their own "defining moment".

Single Mom's Empathy

Having spent 3 years raising three children alone, with biological Dad
out of state, Rebecca holds wonderful insight and can genuinely relate to the
struggles, the pain, the challenges of scheduling, money, public perception
and the spiritual and emotional roller coaster Single Mom's face.
Foremost, Rebecca's message of hope and trust in God is one that
will move people, and bring for many to a fresh beginning with God.

She often speaks alongside Cathy Erickson of 'Step Up', a PeopleMatter Ministries
organization which has profoundly served Single Mom's for many years.
