NYMC :: fri night

what a killer past day. Alex & Brett, authors of the book Do Hard Things, spoke last evening. really fired me up about challenging our middle school students about doing something for Christ…really helping them find the burden on their heart the God has given them (or will give them) and helping to guide their passion. i know kids right there in our ministry that would be willing to take that step and so something hard & incredible for Jesus – i can’t wait to go home and spend time with some the kids on my heart and cut them loose.

also had some off the hook music by Braddigan (the drummer of Dispatch). really ministered to my soul.

National Youth Ministry Conference 2009

seriously, this is one of the highlights of my year in ministry. tomorrow evening a portion of our FUSE student ministry team hits the road for Columbus, OH. yes, i’ve contemplated wearing PSU all three days just to get them OSU-ers all riled up. last year Spence & I came back with so much growth and inspiration that we couldn’t not bring more of our team this time around. there are nine of us representing both our middle & high school teams – and yes, our wives, too. love it.

anyone here heading to NYMC? let’s connect while we’re out there…
