    Blaze Youth Ministry Conference Tour

    The Denver Dare 2 Share Conference

    Posted on Thursday 13 November 2008 by Greg @ 9:14 am
    Filed under: Rants

    Home sweet home.

    This weekend is the Denver D2S “Invincible” Conference in my own hometown Denver, Colorado. I love doing the conference here in my own backyard. Friends, family, prayer warriors, donors, the church communities of Grace Church (the church I used to pastor and still love) and Northern Hills Christian Church (the church I never pastored but still love) and the good ole’ Rocky Mountains all combine into a mile high feeling of spiritual euphoria that’s hard to beat.

    Somewhere around 8,000 teenagers from 400 some odd churches will gather to be mobilized to evangelize in a big, big way. They will be trained to “shred the gnar” and unleashed to do it.

    Pray for us this weekend that God does something big in the lives of the teenagers. Pray that God uses them to ignite the revival that this country so desperately needs.

    I can’t help but think of the words of Paul Borthwick in a Group Magazine article, “I’ve noticed something about unchurched teens in our culture, many pursue a risk-taking lifestyle with religious fervor. Meanwhile, our youth group kids stay locked in the safety zone. Today’s young people need to be called to a life of danger for the sake of following Christ. Many of them are waiting for the church to give them something big, something significant, something risky to do.” That’s exactly what we are going to give them this weekend.

    Pray and, if you live in or around Colorado, go.

    Shreddin’ the gnar for Jesus,

    Signed, Greg Stier

      • Greg,
        Im so excited for you guys and this tour! I just got done reading “Shredding the Gnar” and i did it all in about 8hrs i couldn’t let the book down. Yours and Zane’s experience from Gospel Journey was amazing and I know that it will spread through this tour also. Praying for you and the Crew that God would speak through you guys and that the hearts of the youth would be open to the gift of life.

        God is Love,
        Chimpo

      • Hey! I was one of the many teens attending the Dever, Coloado conference. As everyother year, it rocked. The music, people, youth leaders, and everyone that put’s this together deserves a big round of applause, because what you all do is so great. You share the light of God to so many people. You’ve shown not only me I’m sure, but tons and tons of other teens how God can move so greatly throughout our lives. Thanks a ton for giving us all a great time, hanging out with our fellow youth, and followers of Christ. God bless, and I hope your jouney’s don’t end keep ‘Shreddin the gnar’ yo :D

        -Jennifer

        Ps. What were the names of the bands that performed? They both rocked, but I didn’t catch the names :/

      • I went to the dare to share conference in denver just today and it was AMAZING! I was already christian and accepted christ, but it was like a little wake up call. The whole thing reminded me of this quote I read once. It reads, ‘Christians keep the faith… but not from others.’ That totally made sense to me now that I’m keeping such a wonderful gift to myself and now I realize that I can give it and never have to be afraid. Like Zane said, God will take care of it. Thank you guys so much for such an experience that will help bring me and my friends to get to know Christ better. Love y’all and hope to see you at ‘Blaze’ next year. I’ll try to keep following the blogs as well!

      • Wow..This conference was honestly life changing. Coming from a home with an alcoholic parent, Faith and trust is a daily struggle for me. I went down several wrong paths looking for happiness and ways to forget the abuse that was inflicted on me. I was lucky enough to find Christ my Savior before things got way out of hand. Although I still struggle daily, I’m finally beginning to move on and heal all of my wounds. In the past few months, our youth group has became a place where I’ve seen several struggling teens accept Christ into their lives for the first time. Dare to share taught me so much. I’m so thankful to have been apart of it. I’ve definitly been “shreadin the gnar!” Thank you for all the inspiration and hope you have given.
