My talk at TeenPact's National Convention 2017
TeenPact invited me to speak at their National Convention 2017 event, a gathering of 900 TeenPact students, volunteers, and staff. They asked me to talk about seeking God in the context of my work in politics.

I talked about the cool kids' table, phone addiction, and what to do when things don't go as planned. Plus a bonus science fiction book recommendation!
