Ten Ways to Mess Up as a Dad

My church holds mens breakfasts every quarter where about 200 men get together early on a Saturday morning, enjoy some great comfort food, and listen to some really good speakers.  After attending one of the breakfasts, I approached the Mens Pastor about the idea of my son Trevor and I doing a talk about ten ways to mess up as a Dad.  He was intrigued with the idea so that night at dinner I asked Trevor if he'd be interested in doing this with me.  His first comment was, "well, I can think of about a hundred ways!"  Knowing that my son would have absolutely no difficulty in coming up with ten ways (and having 90 to spare), we embarked upon creating the presentation.

Trevor took complete ownership of the presentation.  He came up with the structure, the content, and the examples.  When he reviewed it with Patty and I we were blown away.  He nailed it with only a couple of very minor tweaks.  We then presented it to 200 men at a recent mens breakfast and once again he nailed it.  I asked him to record himself speaking through each of the ten lessons so we could share it with a broader audience.  I hope you enjoy it.
