When I first started out working with youth, I had this idea that I could be the one that could change a kids life, that because I was present in their life, if I maintained that presence, it could change them in some way. I learned the hard way how untrue and even arrogant … More We Can’t Change Students
Fox Hole Deals. That’s what these prayers are often called. Soldiers say these prayers quite often in times of danger. Let’s be honest, many if not all of us have prayed a prayer like this at some point. I think there should also be a post about how you can’t be … More Why You Can’t Make a Deal With God
I have to be honest, at some point in my walk with Christ, I’ve treated my faith as most of these. In #4, the author states: “Christianity, at its core, is about pointing people to the radical grace of Christ and his work on the cross to rescue sinners…”, that is the truth, nothing … More 10 Things Christianity is NOT
It’s been 6 months since my world was changed. Well, actually 7 months, but it was 6 months ago a text made it very obvious that I was supposed to make a drastic change in my relationship with my old church and some of the people within it. This isn’t going to be … More 6 Months Post and looking forward to the next 6
I love the song Flawless, by Mercy Me.

Words have meaning and weight. Teens often go through a day hearing quite the opposite. They … More Words To Speak Often To Teens
This is another great, but brief, article on helping teens cope. When I first started in youth ministry, I thought it was all about trying to “fix” teenagers, so when a teen came to me with a problem, I’d give them a 5 point plan to fix what the issue was, or I’d tell them … More Helping Youth Develop Coping Skills
When I first started working in youth ministry, my assumption was that you had to be “cool” with a personality that drew teenagers to you and very athletic to keep up with and be able to “best” them in sports. I can remember in college working with Thomas Road Baptist Church’s and being jealous of … More The Perfect Youth Ministry Volunteer
This was taken from an advice column from http://www.relevantmagazine.com. I’m a little torn about this article and feel it’s a bit of a simplistic answer. I too believe that GOD us calls to reconciliation and restoration, but what happens when the attempt is made and rejected, or the perception is that you’re just … More Should I Rectify Past Mistakes or Just Move On?
