Hopefully you’ll find this post to be as humorous and stereotypical as I did about what’s going on in the minds of our teenagers. Last Wednesday wrapped up a discussion series we were doing at Bethel. I asked the students to write down what they would like to discuss over the next 3 weeks we’re [...]
There are many reason why I line up with and choose to serve in the Southern Baptist denomination (SBC), but this post is not to talk about all of those.
However, I will say that one reason I love the SBC is because of the abundance of resources provided by association and state level missionaries and [...]
Yesterday our church honored our high school graduates during and after our morning worship. It was a great day to celebrate with our graduates and their families while providing an opportunity for a connection to be made between our church and the young people in it. Here’s how it worked:
Every quarter, the church holds a [...]
I’m writing today excited because of a discovery made in Scripture today by a middle school girl, which was an awesome teachable moment for the entire Bible study group! Let me preface this discovery by saying this-
I ordered a copy of Dr. Allen Jackson’s new book “Teach” a little over a month ago to try [...]
This past Wednesday, I led a discussion with teenagers about one of the most basic concepts in Christianity- the Trinity. We hear about the Trinity all the time, but it has to be one of the most difficult concepts to completely grasp. In fact, I don’t completly understand the depths of it, but I understand [...]
I’m writing this post not as an expert, but because I was asked by someone where to start now that he started working with the youth in his church. I thought about this question and realized it was not easy to answer! So I thought I would put together a list of resources [...]
Here’s an interesting article that I’d love to hear your response to:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28579289/from/ET/
The title of the article is the title of this blog post, minus the question mark. I add the question mark because I’m not sure if this is really true. Or maybe I add the question mark because if the research this article talks [...]
We often hear that the Spirit of God is powerful. But sometimes we don’t allow ourselves to see it in awesome ways. I was privileged enough to see the Spirit of God in full power last week and I need to put this story out there for anyone who reads this blog. If you doubt [...]
Well, you can see again that it’s been a while since my last post. I’ve been extremely busy with a lot of different stuff going on.
I started coaching JV baseball at a local high school. It’s a solid 2 months with 13 young guys.
A new worship time is starting at Bethel, which I’ve been a [...]
I have been challenged lately to put things from my mind into print. It helps to write things down, not just think them. I’ve been taking my thoughts about what I do and why I do it and writing them out. This is the second part to my previous post, “Why I [...]
I got a call from one of my high school girls one night to ask me questions for a paper she had to write for school. She was supposed to interview a ministry leader, and I was grateful she thought of me. In fact, I’m really glad she did, because it has helped [...]
Last weekend, I was blessed to be able to take a couple youth down to Woodbridge, VA, to the “Survive” conference put on by Dare2Share. I have to say that it was the best conference I have ever taken youth to! It was my first time at this conference, and I loved what they did.
