Relentlessly pursuing Christ and His Cause
When the teens in your youth ministry begin to share their faith they will pray harder and worship louder. Many of them will read the Bible more diligently and walk in dependence on God more willingly. Why?

“What are you thankful for?”
That’s it. That’s my “brilliant” idea for sharing the gospel in a simple and natural way this Thanksgiving. Ask the question and then just listen and affirm. The person you are talking to will most likely ask you what you are thankful for. This is your opportunity to crack the door [...]
“Cool: fashionable and attractive at the time”
Jesus was not cool. He was not fashionable. He was not attractive during His time or anytime for that matter. Isaiah 53:2 puts it this way, “He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to Him, nothing in His appearance that we should desire Him.”

The Denver conference took my breath away. Wow.
You never know if all of the ingredients are going to work when you put a conference together. Music, drama, training, outreach, movie clips, original video clips, and on and on and on.

This was in my e-mail box this morning from a youth leader who cut and paste a facebook conversation between a teen in his youth group and an atheist who was commenting on the abundance of his “God posts.” Considering “Jason” is a very new believer I think he did a phenomenal job of sharing [...]
I’ve known Lane Palmer since we were both freshmen in high school. We did evangelism together as teenagers. We were college roommates at Colorado Christian University and worked together for years as fellow youth ministry interns at Community Baptist Church in Arvada, Colorado. Lane worked at Dare 2 Share for seven years and has been [...]
I think we may be on the precipice of something special.
Could it be? Can it be? Another great awakening? As I travel and talk to church leaders all across the nation I am seeing growing evidence of a movement toward unprecedented prayer, church unity, personal purity and a renewed zeal for evangelism…all the stuff [...]
