sharing with you not only the Gospel but my life as well
Previously, I blogged about Liquid: Live at Five, a curriculum that really connected with the young adults that I serve. Overall, Liquid is great curriculum–well written and practical. While I found Live at Five great for young adults, the second one that I tried, Liquid: Fork in the Road is a good curriculum, but not [...]
I just got back from coffee with a few friends (20-somethings) to talk about plans for the young adults on Sunday nights. Although several of us currently go to the evening service at our church, we’re looking at doing a small group(s) in order to connect with more young adults.
We have a few small groups [...]
Frontline is one of my favorite places to go. There’s something contagious about stepping into a ministry that has literally thousands of young adults coming every Sunday night. The energy is tangible, the music is awesome and the preaching is deep, Biblical and relevant. To make things even better, they do a great job of [...]
As the thunder, lightening and rain pound outside today, I’m reading an excerpt from Mark Batterson. When Mark spoke at our MinistrieSummit for Pennsylvania and Delaware earlier this month, his team handed out the excerpts of the upcoming book. I’m only on page 5, but want to read the whole book! It comes out August [...]
I recently finished the second of two books written in whole or in part by atheists about their experiences at church. Both books stem from Jim Henderson’s interest in helping churches learn how they can reach secular/non-religious people. I’ve visited a variety of churches over the years. And some churches are confusing to those who [...]
Tonight Mike & I drove up to Red Lion Christian Academy for a seminar on Growing Up Christian by Karl Graustein.
For those of us who came to faith in Christ as adults, some of the quirks of growing up in the Christian subculture are alien to us. The experience of those inside the “bubble” is [...]
After our small group, Nick, Winston and I went out to see Expelled tonight. The Expelled website says, in part, that “Big Science has expelled smart new ideas from the classroom. What they forgot is that every generation has its rebel…Ben blows the horn on suppression.” The movie is a documentary filmed as Ben interviews [...]
This weekend, our church had the privelege of having Earl Creps speak on Sunday morning. Since he was already on the east coast, he dropped down to Delaware to speak before continueing in his travels. A few things alwasy stand out to me about Earl. As my professor, he has made me read more than [...]
For the past couple of months, we’ve been concentrating our energy on beginning our new, weekly young adult event–the Gathering. (For more information, check out our young adult website or myspace.) There hasn’t been much time to blog, review resources, etc. Since I’ll be even busier with our weekly gathering, we went for a road [...]
Did you make any resolutions for the New Year? Every year, many of us make resolutions, but why? Some of us will do well in our resolutions, but many of us will fail. Truthfully, I almost always fail in my New Years Resolutions. So, why do we make them? Deep down inside, we want our [...]
