THE ICEBERG COMET - 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 oftheir 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 great for 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 and purpose.
A Blended Family / STEP-family can learn to WALK TOGETHER.
IT's good to WALK through an understanding of the SEASONS of SUCCESS in a blended family.
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, 
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 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 Snell offers a very candid and transparent talk to 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. Presidentsto 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.
Rebecca is the co-host of BLENDED FAMILY TODAY, the weekly radio
program serving blended families in America. Her insight and stories
gleaned from interviews, focus groups and one-on-one coaching allows her
a special God-given insight into the day to day trials of Mom's and Step-Mom's.
