  • Good News for High School Students

    I’m always at odds with this reality: If Jesus offers good news, what is it about how we do youth ministry that is only attractive to 1% – 2% of the high school students on our campus? That always lead same  to a place where I say, “I don’t think we’re doing this right just…

  • Lessons from the bench

  • Don’t play horse with this kid

    This brings back some memories. When we took students to Chicago for a mission trip with ICI, we had endless gym time to practice all sorts of trick shots.
