"The sluggard buries his hand in the dish and will not even bring it back to his mouth." Proverbs 19:24

This past Saturday One Church hosted our first ever Career Day. The event involved 7 speakers and about 30 players attended. Some players saw it as an opportunity to present themselves well and dressed in suits. We took headshots for Linkedin accounts, and had really good engagement throughout the whole event. Travis kicked the event off with a message about "work" from a Biblical perspective. He explained that work is good and God designed us to work. He then gave some very practical advice which was echoed by many of the speakers about "getting busy" and working hard. For the 99%, there is no such thing as get rich quick, there is a lot of hours and hard work involved in every career path. One problem we encounter with young adults today is their unwillingness to work hard. All of our speakers did a great job outlining the hard work involved in any career. Also, they opened up the idea that college might not be the best option for everyone. Many grow up being told you must go to college to get a good job. The idea was debunked quite a bit throughout Career Day. Our hope with Career Day was to equip our players with some new options and ideas for a career path. We care about their maturity and development into responsible, hard working young men, and this was something we could do to assist them in that way. We also take every opportunity to point people to Jesus, so we intentionally started the day with a gospel message that Travis delivered. Career day also opened up more conversations between us and the players about different career options. One of our speakers, Keegan, offered a 6 week class on his topic of entrepreneurship that many of our players are very interested in. At the end of the day we thank God for all the different ways we can reach people for Christ.
