Dalton Sherman spoke in front of 20,000 teachers from Dallas ISD and challenged them to "Believe" in themselves. I think so many times in our job especially teaching, you can get burnt out and want to quit. Then we see someone like Dalton, who because of one teacher investing in him impacted his life forever. Dalton was always in trouble and talked all the time so his teacher, instead of giving him detention, made him enroll in a public speaking class. All of us have that one teacher/professor that changed our life. In ministry we have an opportunity to eternally change lives everyday. All of us have a "I Remember My Pastor" story. Each of us had someone who spiritually impacted the rest of our lives and challenged us to become great. More importantly they "Believed" in you when no one else did. When I saw this video it reminded me of this verse: 1 Timothy 4:12 Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
I am the 5/6th grade pastor @ Second Baptist Church in Houston, Texas. I get to tell students how much God loves them and that he has a perfect plan for their life not matter what. I love traveling to speak at different places to tell people how great our God is. I love to play basketball and football.
