This goes hand in hand with my previous article about disappointing students. I’ve probably posted something like this last year, but it’s always good to have this kind of information. This is also pertinent for handling conflict in general, because life is conflict sometimes. Don’t get the wrong idea now, I’m not in any huge … More 10 PRINCIPLES FOR MANAGING CONFLICT IN YOUTH MINISTRY
This song is a year old, but I first heard it yesterday coming home from MD. It’s a beautiful song and a great reminder that Christ is with us through whatever we’re going through. I love the part where it says: … More Casting Crowns: Just Be Held

I can honestly say I’ve seen every type of pornography at some … More Is Pornography Really Wrong?
Alright, Last repost of the day, mainly because I’ve got stuff I need to do, I’ll catch up on the “Conversations with Peter” either tonight or tomorrow, but I read this and it hit me square between the eyes.
