Summer Series at Light Force
Our summer series kicks off tomorrow night. It’s called "What were they thinking?" We’ll be looking at examples like this one and looking at some equal evidence from the Bible to see that everyone and anyone can be used by God. Not sure how that’s going to fit together? You’ll just have to come and…

Zealous stupidity
Tonight is the first Middle Madness for Light Force: Summer Style. What that means is that starting at 7 PM, I’ll be running around and playing crazy games with middle schoolers. We started Middle Madness a year ago to try to help a glob of incoming 7th graders get acclimated to Light Force. I liked…

involved.
Today was a great day for our church as we asked people to step up and get involved. For those already involved… I hope they heard the message clearly, "We want reinforcements." I am especially excited that several people indicated that they want to be a part of restructuring Light Force. Here’s the starting point…

What is summer all about?
Over at YMX there is a lot of discussion about summer in youth ministry. It seems that there are people who either love summer in youth ministry or hate it. In most youth groups there are two "seasons" where you do things completely different. Summer and School. School youth ministry: This is "home base" for…

New stuff is in the air
There must be something in the summer air that has got me going… but there are all sorts of things swirling around my head. Sometimes I pray "stupid prayers" to God. I asked Him to take what I’m doing and blow it up for you. Maybe that meant "destroy" or maybe that meant "make it…

Here is the video I put together for tonights senior roast. 5 seniors showed up and a good time was had by all. OK, so there were a few instances of "classic overshare" but that’s going to happen at a roast.

Albany talks
A couple people have been asking me "what did you teach in Albany?" Well… I taught an overview of 3Story Evangelism. We wrapped it around a "metametephor" for the weekend of a Rubik’s Cube. The basic idea is that most Christians want to tell non-Christians about their faith… they just don’t know a strategy for…

A weekend at camp!
This weekend I am off to upstate New York to help out at a great retreat. I’ve never been to this part of the world, so I am pretty excited to see what "the camp capital of the world" is really all about. I also don’t get to go to a lot of retreats… so…

A fatherless generation
Check out Chris Brooks thoughts on a fatherless generation: I had the distinct privilege today of chaperoning Selah’s year end field trip. We went to a park for 4 hours; 14 1st graders! It was really quite an experience. I don’t quite have the words to explain it. There was one particular theme that kept…

What is MainStreet
I get a lot of people who don’t go to our church who ask me about MainStreet. What in the world is this? Cows, nacho cheese, pies in the face? What is going on? How in the world is that going to make an impact for Jesus? Well, for those people… I made a little…
