Rantings of a Jesus-loving, raving lunatic
We at Dare 2 Share, like many of those in the ministry-minded portion of the non profit world, depend on God to move in the hearts of our donors to give generously so that we can keep seeking to accomplish the mission that God has given us. We pray, ask our donors to give and [...]
The latest edition of the Youth Specialties Podcast features Marko (President of Youth Specialties and author of one of the few blogs I visit daily) sharing a devotional from Proverbs 30 and me sharing about the power of “Soul Apologetics.” Adam McLane does a great job putting these babies together.
For about 8 years I traveled side-by-side with one of the greatest guys ever, Danny Oertli. He led worship at our Dare 2 Share events for years and, to be honest, I miss him. He is not only a good friend but a tremendous example of authentic Christianity. In a music industry that is marked [...]

A few weeks ago Jonathan McKee sent me an article written by a non Christian guy who spent a year at Liberty University undercover. This particular article was about his experience doing cold turkey evangelism on a hot beach during Spring Break. In his article he questions the effectiveness of the entire ordeal.

I am so pumped to start our new “Firestarter” youth leader training lunches starting next week. Tuesday we will be in Denver, Wednesday in Colorado Springs and Thursday in Fort Collins.
During this youth leader training I will be sharing some stuff that I’ve recently discovered that has been hugely eye opening to me…perhaps the [...]
