Rantings of a Jesus-loving, raving lunatic
Every year around this time a group of between thirty to forty national youth ministry leaders get together for a time of fellowship, facilitation, and strategic interaction. This year the gathering is in Norfolk, Virginia at a place called The Founder’s Inn. Pray that it is a profitable time of ministry encouragement and exchange.

Years ago at a zoo in my home state of Colorado I pulled the tail of a large, male lion. His furry, gently swinging appendage was sticking through the bars as he slept. It’s almost as though it was whispering to me, “Hey Greg, grab me and see what happens. Come on dude it will […]
My wonderful wife turns 40 on Sunday. I have some special surprises in store for her. One of the surprises is a bunch of encouraging notes from those who visit my blog from time to time. So would you consider typing an encouraging comment to her below? I’ll print them all out and let her […]
I had the privilege of seeing the movie Expelled: No intelligence allowed in a pre-screening a few weeks ago and I’m thrilled that I did. It was a funny, thought provoking, dangerous, serious, engaging (and did I mention “funny”?) documentary. I have been a fan of Ben Stein since his “Bueller, Bueller” days, but now […]
Now that the dust of the Survive Tour have settled I thought that I would share with you a couple of my musings about this particular conference tour.
Let me start by thanking everyone involved in making this tour a reality. From our own amazing and hard working Dare 2 Share staff to all of the […]
Almost 5,000 teenagers gathered in the Sears Centre. Hundreds trusted in Jesus as their Savior. Thousands made life-changing decisions.

Today I leave to go to Chicago where we will do our last conference of the Survive Tour. So far it has been a powerful run. God has done and continues to do some amazing things in and through the tens of thousands of teenagers who have been trained and equipped through the Dare 2 […]
Tim over at Life in Student Ministry just wrote a review of both our GOSPEL Journey Reality Series and Go Wide Training Kit. Check it out and add your comments to his site if you are so moved.
While you are there surf around a bit…or actually a lot. Tim has got excellent and practical articles […]
I had a great time with my friends at Grace Church yesterday. What a warm and loving church (in a city that can be quite cold…literally!) Many of them took The 48 Hour Challenge. Pray with me for each of them as they seek to take the good news of Jesus to that one person […]
Okay, before you freak out, know that I’m just reiterating what James 2:14-26 makes crystal clear…faith without works can’t save us. This passage makes some bold and seemingly heretical assertions like: “You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.”
I’ve had these verses thrown into my face for […]
