Presentation Titles & Descriptions

Common Sense Courtship

Casual dating is not working.  Rules-based courtship has worked little better.  I believe the better way is Common Sense Courtship.  In Common Sense Courtship we rely on trust, faith, relationship and “common sense”.  No two children, no two relationships and no two “courtships” are the same.  We shouldn’t try to cram each one into a nice, neat set of rules and expect “it will all just work out.”  In this presentation I will present a series of Biblical principles applied with common sense to help our children find life-mates.

 

Are There Noodles in Your Lasagna?

A humorous yet insightful look at being the same on the inside that we appear to be on the outside.   This talk can be adapted to a number of situations and themes.

 

You Can't Steer a Parked Car

Why do so many Christians seem to be stuck in the driveway of their lives?  Is it because God has not shown us His will?  Or is it because we fail to "do" His will and therefore miss out on what He has for us down the road?

 

Getting Out of the Bunker and into the Fight
The family is God's primary training ground, His boot camp, to train young people to fight the good fight as soldiers of Christ.  How do we balance protecting our children from the world and yet prepare them to face the world?  From his experience as a US Marine, a father of 6 and a teacher and preacher of the Gospel, Wally gives helpful, Biblical and practical  insight to parents who want to train and equip the next generation of God's Army.

 

The Prodigal in the Homeschool Family
How do we deal with the effects and aftershock of a prodigal child in the homeschool family?  From personal experience and Scripture, Wally shares a message of hope to parents of the rebellious, prodigal child.

 

Created to Communicate public speaking seminar

Designed to help anyone overcome the fear of public speaking so common to so many.  Wally's goal is to help people, young and old alike, to gain the confidence and the skills necessary to share their message of faith to the world around them.  Some the sessions include: "Be" on Confident Communicator, The CROSS Method for Preparing a Great Speech and Impromptu PE.

My hope is that this list will assist conference organizers in connecting with Wally Long and other workshop leaders and speakers. Furthermore, my desire is to help homeschool workshop leaders and speakers develop relationships with more convention planners and audiences. May your efforts be for the glory of Christ and the strengthening of His saints.
