  • The final push

    Tonight is session 6 of 3 Story Life. (Our churches adult small group spin on YFC’s 3 Story) In a lot of ways it has been fun doing this re-write, but in a lot of other ways, it has been really hard. It’s been fun to not just critique the curriculum, but to really spend…

  • Talk notes updated

    Since I was reminded by someone that I was a wee bit behind. I’ve updated all the talk notes over on the Light Force site. There is always a link here on the left side, now it’s all updated. Thanks for the reminder.

  • Light Force doesn’t do retreats?

    Back a several weeks ago I had lunch with Jason Raitz. It seems like in this conversation we talked about 100 things. Last week I saw him again at the Detroit Metro Youth Workers lunch, I really like him. He’s a cool guy with a great heart for students. So, here is a part of…

  • I am ready now!

    13 days until we leave for our vacation. I’ve never been to Florida, but it sounds really good. The last few days have been non-stop from dawn-dusk and I am ready for a break. p.s. I think LF went pretty good last night. Raya, Aradith, and Autumn did a great skit that set up the…

  • Proof I Am Still a Youth Pastor

    Proof #1 Stuff like this still makes me giggle. When I start thinking about the mess and the weirdness of it all, then I can’t call myself a youth dude. But there is just something funny about 4 girls wanting to get messy just to win… NOTHING! Proof #2 On the way home tonight I…

  • For Sale

    I very reluctantly had our pews listed for sale over at usedpews.org. (Just so you know, I had all the boards permission to do this first!) Our hope is that we can find a new ministry or maybe an old ministry that is looking to buy some used pews. They are high quality, they are…

  • Breathe

    This is the air I breatheThis is the air I breatheYour Holy PresenceLiving in me These are well know words to a song we sing often. But I have been so busy and going in so many directions lately that I am not feeling like I can catch my breath. A phrase I say all…

  • It’s a flock of sheep!

    Last night at Light Force it made the girls giggle that I kept refering to a group of sheep as a flock and not a herd. As Dave pointed out later, "They do call the person who works with sheep a ShepHERD and not a ShepFLOCK. Upon further review, a group of sheep is often…

  • A big step up for Romeo

    To some this will seem like no big deal, but to others what we did today is a massive thing. Just a few hours ago I put together a purchase order to replace our church pews with the chair pictured to the left. This isn’t something that we did flippantly, but I recognize that it…

  • Time to get connected

    3 Story groups have now spent 3 weeks discovering God’s Story, My Story, and Their Story. Now we are turning the corner and starting the connection process. I am very much looking forward to this. I know to this point we’ve poised more questions than answers, from here on out it should be about light…
