As teenagers’ attention spans grow shorter, it makes our ability to grab their attention more and more difficult. If you’ve been doingthis for a while, you’ve probably used up most of your great personal stories and are on the lookout for fresh anecdotes.
McKee offers speakers 24 messages that easily can fill a small time slot or even be adapted into a longer teaching time. Each message begins with a short narrative, which—if told well—can be inspirational or deeply emotional; and most are easily relatable.
The real strength of this resource is found in McKee’s transition statements that take you from the story to the application and Scripture. This is a perfect resource for someone whose story well has dried up and needs assistance in making a “single point loud and clear.”
