    Youth Specialties in Nashville

    Posted on Thursday 20 November 2008 by Greg @ 11:32 am
    Filed under: Rants

    Today, tomorrow and Saturday I’m in Nashville for Youth Specialities. YS is a youth leaders’ event that combines worship, drama, training, teaching, etc for youth leaders from the vast array of youth ministry specialists out there. I’ve been going to YS for years and it is a whole lot of fun. I love youth leaders and YS has got thousands of them.

    This place is a virtual smorgashborg of different approaches, philosophies, theologies that hover around the wonderful world of youth ministry in a postmodern age. There are right wing reformed, devoted denominationalists, egalitarian emergent and eager evangelicals here. But, regardless of the these differences, there is an over-riding unity through Jesus Christ that trumps everything…for the most part.

    Please pray that God uses my training seminar to encourage and equip everyone who attends my session regardless of their bent. Pray that I don’t cause too much trouble…like last year!

    Either way it should be a lot of fun! YS always is.

    Signed, Greg Stier

      • Greg – I met you a couple years ago at Dare 2 Share in Phoenix – I was working for the Alliance Defense Fund. I’m in law school at Vanderbilt now, so welcome to Nashville!

        I’ve always enjoyed reading your blogs, and really liked reading about your message at YS last year – right on! Continue to preach that message, the Cross must always be central!

        p.s. – If you get a chance, make sure you go to SATCO while you’re here (San Antonio Taco Company) right by the Vanderbilt campus. :-)

      • Greg,

        Preach it! If that means stir it up, then stir it up! Pull the Lions tail again.

        In Christ,

      • Go gettem’! Good luck and I pray that the Lord uses you to inspire and equip a lot of youth pastors.

        Have you seen the news? This blew my mind away today:

        It’s amazing sometimes to see “the world’s” perspective on our faith in Christ.

        I’m not Greg, but if you want you could write your youth leader a letter expressing your feelings and share with them your need to be mentored and possibly intern for them. The most important people in our ministry are our volunteers – I don’t know where I’d be with them.
