Rick's message was perfect for what we do and he bent over backwards to help us any way that he could. Our board members were beside themselves at his message. He truly is someone who we would recommend to any organization and we already are looking down the road to book him again! "I can't tell you how perfect the whole morning was. You did exactly as I'd hoped: you poked fun at Christians and churches (especially Baptists), and generally helped us laugh at ourselves! Even the unchurched enjoyed it and could find some realism in your self-depreciating humor. It helps for Christians to remove the pretense by authenticating our weaknesses and hang-ups in churches...But you didn't stop there. Your well-planned and timely Biblical mesage was right on target--to Christians and non-Christians. It's all about "will I allow Jesus to really impact/change my life for good?" We have been given a great opportunity at Valleydale and don't want to squander it. Thanks for your transparency and practical insights and challenge to us all to live more consistently in sacrifice and service."
