Olympic Gold Medalist Talks About What Really Matters

This year’s Storyline Conference takes place over Halloween weekend. And we’ve put together our greatest lineup of speakers ever.

We know you won’t want to leave your kids, but the treat we’ve put together may benefit them far more than candy, and for the rest of their lives.

We hope you won’t come home the same.

This year we’ve asked Scott Hamilton to speak from the main stage at Storyline. You probably noticed Scott all over the Sochi Winter Olympics coverage this past winter, but we know him as someone more than an Olympic gold medalist and commentator. We invited Scott because he’s an inspirational husband, father, and follower of Jesus.

How do you perform in front of billions of people without losing your mind? Talk about pressure. It’s more pressure than you and I could deal with.

Or is it?

All of us feel this incredible need to perform.

Whether it’s in our roles as wives and husbands or as business leaders or as parents. So how do we do it? How do we not screw up our kids and our careers and our love lives? How do we deal with the pressure?

The key for Scott was to remain centered in the reality of the person of Jesus. After he lost his mother to cancer, he was awakened to his need for something bigger than himself and to realize the things that please God are different than the things that please the people around us.

We know and love Scott and assure you his life is all about loving people because he himself has been loved by Jesus. Whether it’s being a faithful husband, father of two, or working with his wife Tracie to adopt two more children from Haiti, Scott lives a life as meaningful as anybody we’ve ever met.

We can’t wait for you to meet him.

The goal of Scott’s session at Storyline is to inspire you to believe that no matter who you are or what setbacks you’ve encountered, anything is possible. Scott became an Olympian despite having grown up in difficult circumstances and battling the toughest of resistance. And yet he wasn’t taken down. He survived, and more than surviving, he lives an amazing life of meaning.

Sometimes it’s when we hear somebody else’s story that we find a plot line for our own.

It’s like a path suddenly clears in the woods.

I think you’ll be amazed at not only what Scott has accomplished in his career, but who he has become. There’s not an ounce of guile in this man. His story is pure inspiration.

If you’ve not registered for Storyline Conference in Chicago yet, please do. We’re aiming to inspire you to live a life of meaning.
