ABC's of KIDOLOGY: The Letter "R" = READING

Guest on the show today: Pastor Todd McKeever. Todd is a long time member of Kidology.org, serves on the board of directors, and is one of the Kidology Coaches. He is known by his closest friends as an avid reader and so with the topic of today's podcast being "Reading," it is no surprise that Karl invited Todd to join the show to discuss this important topic. Whether you are a leader or volunteer, reading is an essential part of becoming more of what God designed you to be! It is a window into both the past - what others have learned - and into the future - what YOU can become! Be prepared to both be challenged but also given some very practical tips from Pastor Todd. The show notes today contain a record amount of links, which is typical of any conversation with Coach Todd!

You can continue to learn from Todd by following him on both his blog, www.toddmckeever.com and twitter, @TMcKeever
