Rantings of a Jesus-loving, raving lunatic
If you attended the Columbus Conference and got a chance to “shred the gnar” (aka “having a conversation about the gospel”) with a friend please tell me your story. It has been a great conference so far! I can’t wait to hear what happened to you! Click here to give me the name of your […]
Dear Columbus,
Here we come. We know you’ve had ice and snow storms earlier this week. We know you can be one cold city. But, through God’s power, we will not be stopped. We expect somewhere between 5,000-6,000 teenagers this weekend no matter what you bring weatherwise. These teens will melt your ice with their worship […]
Scott Derrickson (Director of The Exorcism of Emily Rose and The Day the Earth Stood Still) and I (goofy preacher) developed this “perfect fake throw up” when we were in 10th grade during a Winter camp with our church in the mountains of Colorado. Gird yourself. It’s gross and “gurgly” and has no spiritual point […]
Okay, I use that term prediction very loosely. I just read Deuteronomy about the stoning of prophets in the Old Testament for making false prophecies. So let’s say that my predictions are more guesses and gut feel rather than an official “prophecy”. In other words, nobody knows the future but God. But here’s my guesses […]
The Source 4 Youth Ministry is a website run by my friend Jonathan Mckee. It is packed with valuable resources (lessons, crowd breakers, movie clip ideas, etc) for youth leaders to use to minister to their teenagers. Recently I did a little 4 minute segment with him about starting spiritual conversations with teenagers. I talk […]
Tim Schmoyer (youth pastor, friend and web guru of timschmoyer.com and onlinemissionstrip.com) and Jason Lamb (co-worker, friend and guru of all things white boy urban hip) will be doing a live chat on YM Live this Friday at 2 pm eastern time. If you were ever interested in investigating the Deep and Wide philosophy of […]
Yesterday was one stinkin’ awesome day! It was a thrill to baptize Jeremy as his “public proclamation of his inward transformation.” Maybe I’m a doting father but I really believe this kid is going to do some damage to the kingdom of darkness. It truly makes me grateful to the Lord for giving my wife […]
10. Impact the surrounding community spiritually and physically by helping outreach through the canned-food drive.
9. Wear a cool radio headset all weekend and chit-chat with all the Dare 2 Share staff. (Sorry, limited only to Team Coordinators)
8. Feel like a teenager again.
7. Serve with fellow brothers and sisters who are just […]
Never again.
So Tristan (our web designer/master/king) taught me how to post videos on my website yesterday. Consider yourself forewarned. Now that I know the secret you could be inundated with goofy videos of yours truly.
Anyway, we filmed this particular piece to show at our events a few years back so that we could promote the canned […]
