Rantings of a Jesus-loving, raving lunatic
I hate getting bad news about a sick kid when I’m over a thousand miles away. Jeremy, my six year old, has a double ear infection. I wish I could be there to help out. But I’m in Chicago about to do a conference. It’s not like he’s going to fight it out on his own. […]
Well here we are at our last conference city of the Game Day tour…Chicago. I want to be the first to welcome my friends form Chicago (Chicagoites? Chicagoens? Chi Town People?) aboard the Metro love train! Hey Chicago: I love your pizza and your people. But I loathe your tolls (and trolls?) What if there was a toll […]
Today I had the privilege of equipping around one hundred youth leaders in Fort Collins, Colorado. I was promoting the upcoming Survive Tour for Dare 2 Share and doing a training called "Youth Ministry Exposed." What a great time of encouragement, openness and honesty about the perils, pains and power of youth ministry. My prayer […]
It’s been eight years since we first came to Atlanta. I remember my first youth leader lunch here. Me and my buddy Larry Stair flew in from Denver expecting fifty or so pumped up youth leaders to attend our free lunch and preview event. The plan was to feed them and cast the vision for […]
Today is the DVD release of Rocky Balboa, the sixth and final installment of the Rocky series (It is the final one right Rock? I mean the last thing I need to see is Rocky on a respirator being rolled on a gurney into the ring to battle a rickety Mr. T in a bling […]
Over 4,000 teens were registered, about five hundred of them came to Jesus on Friday night, over 150 e-teams were launched and somewhere around 9 tons of canned food was collected (in the rain by the way!) for Hopelink Food bank! All in all I say it was an EXCELLENT conference. Praise be to God!
These soaked and stoked teenagers responded very well […]
It’s not just a cliche’.
It’s more than a chick flick.
It was the reality last night.
I couldn’t fall asleep. I’m so excited to be doing a conference this weekend in Seattle. We are holding it at a great church (Overlake Christian Church) that holds up to 5,000. By God’s grace we will be approaching full capacity […]
Seattle, Atlanta and Chicago…the triple threat.
Over the next three weekends The Game Day Tour (aka "Dare 2 Share conferences) is coming to each of these three spectacular cities. I love the coffee in Seattle, the sweet tea in Atlanta and the pizza in Chicago…oh yeah, and the people are great too in all three of these cities!
Seattle is […]
After I preached to bunches of youth leaders in Orlando at Universal Studios, Brent Crowe (one of Jay Strack’s top leaders) was walking us back to our car when he pointed out to me and my boy Jeremy that there was a comet soaring way above us. I had never seen anything so brilliant in the night […]
As I type these words I’m on a plane sitting next to my six year old boy. It is our first father/son trip together. We’ve been on plenty of family trips. But this is the first one where Jeremy and I are flying solo.
About a month and a half ago I was asked by the […]
