Invincible Youth Ministry Conference Tour

Whew!

Posted on Monday 9 October 2006 by Greg @ 8:54 am
Filed under: Rants

I didn’t puke or pass out.

Praise God.

Thanks for all your prayers while I preached at Youth Specialties. I think things went well through his grace unleashed on me through your prayers! Now my big prayer request is that the youth leaders who heard the sermon and are reading the book (we gave away 2,000+ Ministry Mutiny books to everyone who came to my general session as kind of an official book launch) are energized by the Spirit of God to put what they learned into practice. Payday for me doesn’t come from applause over a sermon preached but when I know that a youth leader is putting into practice what they learned.

By the way if you haven’t checked out Ministry Mutiny yet you can read a sample on www.ministrymutiny.com. I’d love to get your input on the ideas in this book. It has some revolutionary principles in it that could change the face of youth ministry. I can say that because I didn’t come up these principles…God did! What I present in MM is a "radical new paradigm that’s 2,000 years old."

Back home for a few days and then off to Phoenix for a donor breakfast and youth leader luncheon and then off to Twin Cities for this weekend for our second Game Day conference of the tour. Keep praying!

Signed, Greg Stier

    • Hi Greg!  I go to Grace Church… Thanks for your video clip during service this weekend.  It was nice to see you again.  :-)   And thankyou for speaking to us last month.  You really moved me to witness to the people in my life I care about.  And this weekend, Rick asked everyone to continue praying for those people.  Hopefully I’ll see you in Denver at D2S…I’m volunteering.  And tobyMac is coming to Denver in November! WooHoo! I can’t wait!  Hope you can make it!  God Bless!

    • I just got back from YS this morning and had to weigh in with a comment. I’ve taken my group to 5 D2S weekends so i have heard Greg speak a lot! I’ve always respected Greg as a gifted speaker but at YS he totally knocked my socks off! His message met me where I was, pierced my heart and inspired me to dream again! Thank you thank you thank you Greg for your heart not only for students but for youth pastors as well! You can bet this message will grow in me and cause my feet to move in new directions even when i don’t feel like going on. Every year at Christmas i give all my volunteers a copy of the best message i heard all year (with permission of course). After this weekend I’m not even looking any more! It’s the only DVD i bought all week! Thanks Greg for who you are! Rod Felton Sabetha, KS

    • greg- 3 of my youth leaders went to the conference…that’s so cool that they got a copy of your book…i’ll definately be asking them about it and getting their feedback fromt he conference…for me i can always tell when i’ve heard a good sermon….there are the sermons where i walk away saying, "what a great sermon", but the best are when i walk away saying, "What a great God!"

    • I ordered Ministry Mutiny last week and finally recieved it yesterday.  I could not put it down.  I finished it earlier today.  I graduated from the entertainnment based youth ministry.  I was like Ty and told myself I was not going to make the same mistakes.  Your book has been a blessing to me.  I passed it on to my mentor at lunch today.  He has been told, by elders in the church, that his lessons are too "meaty" and he needs to make it more fun and entertaining.  Pray for him.

    • Hey Greg, I was a youth leader at YS in Austin. It was my first one and your talk was great. I even bought the CD to bring your talk home to my husbund who couldnt be there, yours is the only main stage CD I bought. Thank you for following where God is leading you. Also, Thank you for my copy of Ministry Mutiny. Michelle

    • Greg, Great book. Loved the 30 questions in the Grow Deep chapter! A ministry mutiny principle that you didn’t state in the book, but showed up throughout the book was "finding a mentor from outside your church".  Great book man! Rob
