Rantings of a Jesus-loving, raving lunatic
A girl named Leah wrote this poem. She was the 17th comment on my blog about "The Only New Year’s Resolution that Matters". Thanks Leah. Your poem is awesome!
"Refections as I look back on this year"
I know I cried.
I know I laughed.
I know I talked.
I know I listened.
I know I shared.
I know I loved.
I know I […]
Well it was time to bust out the old "Rebels, Posers and Losers" talk on a group of thousands of Southern Baptist teenagers in Georgia. You remember the one right? It’s the sermon outline I used on our Dare2share Revolution tour last school year. The point? That there are three kinds of teens…rebels, posers and […]
What’s your New Year’s resolution? Having devotions more regularly? Getting a handle on your finances? Dropping that bad habit like a hot potato? Dropping that hot potato with sour cream and extra butter like a bad habit (AKA "losing weight")? The list of potential resolutions goes on and on and on. So what’s yours?
Here’s mine…to […]
The sentence broke my heart. I couldn’t believe it. There was no way. I wouldn’t believe it. But it was too late. My innocence was forever lost. All because my five year old informed me last week that "Santa is fake!"
I’ll never forget it. He came home from his Christian school, looked me in the eyes […]
And I ain’t talking Dairy Queen.
This blizzard didn’t come with fattening ice cream and huge chunks of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. This one came with high winds, twenty four-thirty six inches of snow (depending on where you were) and lots of cars getting stuck in the middle of the road.
Starting late yesterday morning and wrapping […]
Today I served on jury duty. Well, kind of. I went to the Jefferson County Courthouse and waited in a line of my peers for my name (Greg Stier) and number (#4) to be called.
It was. Out of one hundred and twenty jurors in the big waiting room I was in the first fifteen to […]
For those of you who don’t know it costs a lot to run a ministry like Dare 2 Share. We have 42 employees and a whole lot of expenses (conference venues, bands, office space, mailing costs, etc.) As a matter of fact our budget is around $5 Million Dollars this year. That’s a WHOLE lot […]
We are submitting my Dare 2 Share book (a field guide to sharing your faith) and Go Wide (a DVD "kit" that equips youth leaders with a plan to infuse evangelism into the DNA of their youth groups) to Outreach Magazine to be considered in their "Outreach Product of the Year" annual contest.
If you are […]
Mel Gibson’s new movie Apocalypto is out in theatres. It’s about one man’s quest to survive his version of "the last days" as he runs from a angry, blood thirsty tribe that is hunting him down.
Haven’t seen the movie but there is another "Apocalypto" that the Bible refers to again and again, the coming of […]
Last weekend I bumped into my friend Mark Matlock (www.planetwisdom.com) at Youth Specialties. I love the guy. In a minsitry world full of plastic people with agendas and attitudes this dude is the real deal. He is creative, highly intelligent, honest and did I say creative?
Although sometimes both of us are running our own conferences […]
