Christian keynotes
The Joy Of Giving
Professional athletes have been blessed by The Lord in many ways. Danger and misery come when one makes themself the center of their universe. Pro athletes can suffer from anxiety, depression and separation from their friends and family. Giving can help alleviate these symptoms. One of the greatest joys a person can receive is giving away the gifts that they have been bestowed with. This keynote discusses leaving a legacy, tithing, philanthropy, helping your church, the Great Commission and the latest scientific research on the benefits of giving. Tax smarter ways of giving are discussed including: donor advised funds, setting up your own charity and gifting highly appreciated assets instead of cash.
Success Through Jesus Christ
Can an athlete gain greater success in life if he gives his life to The Lord? The answer is YES! This keynote focuses on the advantages of following our Lord and Savior Jesus. Mike explores the benefits of being clean and sober, studying the bible, being a faithful spouse, fellowship, being a mentor and a great parent. Inspirational bible verses and the latest scientific research are cited to reinforce these principles of success.
The audience will leave with:
- Actionable steps to live the life of your dreams.
- The courage to claim your own happiness as a Christian.

"Happiness" Never made Me Feel So Happy
Wow! What a fantastic presentation Mike Duffy did at Stanford. He spoke to the group about happiness and all that it takes to be happy and we were blown away. Inherently we all know that happiness comes from the inside and yet Mike was able to show how our happiness manifests itself in others and spreads to those we love. By examining what makes us happy and how we can determine our own level of happiness, Mike guided us to a happier place. It was just a great event! Thanks, Mike, for your presentation!
