I\u2019m Simon, and my purpose is to help you find your purpose. With three decades of corporate training experience,\u00a0I ignite transformation in organizations, systems, schools, and nations by inspiring the people within.<\/p>\n

Throughout my career, I\u2019ve earned designations, won awards, received accolades, and garnered followers, but that\u2019s\u00a0not what drives me. The vision of a remarkable, unified world filled with purpose-driven people\u2014now that\u2019s what\u00a0drives me.<\/p>\n

Yes, I\u2019m a motivational speaker who\u2019s inspired over one million people, but here\u2019s the real deal: I am perfectly\u00a0imperfect. Like every human on this planet, I\u2019ve failed at many things. I know what it feels like to have warped\u00a0priorities that affect your daily life. When I was promoted to Sales Director at Disney Institute, I was a boss with\u00a0an agenda instead of a leader with a vision. I was successful on the outside but insignificant on the inside.<\/p>\n

I had traded a life of meaning for a fancy chair, a check, and a cup of coffee in a cubicle farm. One day I woke up,\u00a0and I realized I hated my life. I wanted significance instead of an imposed definition of success. That afternoon I\u00a0began crafting my exit-strategy and crafted a potential business plan of motivational speaking and corporate\u00a0trainings.<\/p>\n

When you find your spark, you\u00a0find your joy.<\/p>\n

When you find your joy, you find your voice.<\/p>\n

When you find your voice, you find your freedom.<\/p>\n

The following\u00a0collective social ills and crises fuel and attack the \u201cpressure points\u201d of our mental well-beings: the\u00a0racial injustice against Black men and women, the tension experienced by the Black Christian\u00a0caught between the messages of the progressive social justice movement and the conservative\u00a0Biblical principles of our lifestyles, the economic turmoil, high unemployment rates, healthcare\u00a0disparities, climate change, and the educational challenges due to poor performing schools.<\/p>\n

This presentation will equip you with spiritual and practical skills to handle each of these social ill\u00a0and stress the importance of mental wellness, which is the key to being able to face the crises in\u00a0your life successfully.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”850″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_text_separator title=”Kellen Brooks”][vc_column_text]City and State:<\/strong> Westland, Michigan<\/p>\n

Presenter Bio:\u00a0<\/strong>With only an unction from the Lord and faith, Pastor Ellison stepped out on what God told him. One\u00a0church, seven locations–the vision. The mission to win souls. With this focus, he set out to\u00a0accomplish what many said was impossible and darn near crazy. In August 1995 Bishop O. L.

Engagement<\/p>\n

Presentation Abstract:\u00a0<\/strong>These two sessions are sub-components of our \u201cAutopsy Of A Dead Sunday School\u201d, a three year,\u00a0multi-denominational study into the death of Christian Education. Our thesis is that\u00a0the decay in the methods and the approach to teaching and studying the Word of God has\u00a0caused many to be powerless to fight against a relentless enemy. The current pandemic has\u00a0only compounded the obvious: The church was not prepared for the shift to digitized\u00a0discipleship. These sessions are designed, based on research and theory, to equip churches\u00a0and members with methods to engage their circle of influence with the power of an\u00a0unboxed word of God. How do we reach the world with the power of the Word of God in\u00a0this new Information Age? How do we reshape our thinking beyond the comfortable four\u00a0walls of the church to reach the four corners of the Earth? The church is at a crossroad: We\u00a0are either going to be Anointed, or we will undergo an Autopsy.<\/p>\n
