- Nashville’s Ghetto Recap
This is quickly becoming one of the fun things I do… I totally love being a part of the podcast. Here’s something I heard 3-4 times this weekend that blew me away. People love the way I end the show. I kind of get tired saying it, but it’s one of the driving things behind [...]
- What a difference a letter makes
One of the many funny things that happened in Nashville occurred Sunday night during our general session. As our bloggers are describing what our speaker, Danielle Strickland of the Salvation Army, is talking about I took it upon myself to head over to twitter to share a quick insight into what I was thinking.
Danielle Strickland [...]
- Giving Thanks
My family isn’t one that will likely go around the table and share what they are thankful for. But that doesn’t mean I am lacking gratitude this Thanksgiving. Here’s a few things I’m especially thankful for.
#1 I am thankful for my red hot smokin’ wife, who is a stone cold fox, and two kids, Walker [...]
- Quick check-in
I’m always amazed at my inability to blog from NYWC. I think it’s a combination of my insane schedule and a lack of good internet connectivity. More importantly, I feel like I don’t have much to share while in the midst of NYWC since I’m soaking it in so deeply.

- NYWC Nashville: Pre-thoughts
I am geeked about going to Nashville in a couple days. I know what you’re thinking, having been to Sacramento and Pittsburgh NYWC how can I possibly be excited about a 3rd one?
- Oddly enough, a room full of youth workers always gets me excited.
- Nashville is the “big show” on our circuit. There will [...]
- I get paid for this?
That was my thought last night during the general session. A fantastic night of challenge and worship. All I have to say is that I need a 15 foot disco ball. It helps with the worship experience.
- Off to Pittsburgh
As I write this I am in the San Diego airport on my way to my second NYWC as a YS staffer. It’s still pretty cool! Yes, I am going to NYWC as a YS staff person… how cool is that? Yes, the travel away from family end of things stinks… but I still count [...]
- NYWC Sacramento Post Thoughts
Let’s see. I am home from my first NYWC as a staff member. Looking back over the weekend I have a lot of things floating around my head. Here are some quick reflections.
#1 People are people. This isn’t profound to me but I kept getting asked, “What is _____ like?” I don’t know a nicer [...]
