Mark’s Most Popular SPeaking Topics Include
Sustainable Leadership
Leadership can be a rewarding and lonely place. As a leader, you’re held to high standards by those you lead, those you follow, and yourself. In this presentation, Mark will address the need to:
- Successfully help others without harming yourself.
- Find ways to manage our own stress and negative internal states.
- Create habits and rhythms that create long term, sustainable high performance.
This presentation is aimed at supporting and sustaining those that support and sustain others.
Fighting & winning – men’s secret wars
This is a seminar or retreat designed to help men face the key areas of life…
- The battle with isolation (choosing community)
- The battle with disillusionment (choosing faith)
- The battle with lust (choosing love)
- The battle with stress (choosing serenity)
This framework allows communities to address ever-present sexual struggles of our society without shame or having sex being the main theme.
Doubt, Faith, and Recovery
This presentation is about the important challenge of spiritual doubt, confusion, and disillusionment that is often experienced — but seldom addressed — with mental health. From a place of discovery, Mark covers:
- How addiction is especially confounding for people of faith.
- The pivotal role of spirituality – even for those who aren’t “religious”.
- The necessity of spiritual revolution, and why it’s challenging for people of faith.
The goal is to ensure that people entering recovery or treatment have properly reviewed their spiritual life and have the full support necessary for successful recovery.
Facing the Truth about Sexual Struggles
In this presentation, Mark cuts to the chase and gets to the heart of sexual struggles today. Both from his background as an expert in sex addiction and as a pastor to the “general population,” he will cover:
- An overview of sexual challenges facing people today – especially how technology has facilitated the emergence of “artificial sex.”
- An analysis of how — and why — churches struggle to provide useful help in this area.
- What can we do about it!
This message can be targeted to specific groups (men, young people, women, etc).
