Moving and Goodbyes

This last Sunday was the last time preaching as the youth pastor of Chadron Berean.  It was pretty tough.  Chadron Berean was a great place to be at.  Our four years here were well spent.  Pastor Dan has been a great mentor and teacher.  It’s always hard to say goodbyes.  Next Sunday we’re going to [...]

Proverbs on Youth Ministry

So this Sunday is my last opportunity to preach at Chadron Berean.  I’ve decided to speak on the book of Proverbs and youth ministry.  Over the course of the summer, I’ve been reading through Proverbs and mulling over what it has say about parenting.  During this time, it hit me that a lot of what [...]

This week

This last week was crazy.  I flew out to Chicago to talk to the elders at Naperville Christian Church.  It was a really good time.  They were great and I enjoyed their hospitality. 
I also had the chance to check out our apartment in Wheaton.  I was a little nervous.  I had never rented a place [...]

Changes

For the last four years, I’ve been a youth pastor for Chadron Berean Church.  It’s been a great experience.  I’ve learned a lot from working with Pastor Dan Williams.  He’s been a great mentor and he has a great heart for serving God and loving people.   Working with our kids has been just awesome.  Shelley [...]

I’m back home

So last night I got back home after spending a week at Camp Rock’s wilderness camp.  I was a dirty mess by the end of the week.  I didn’t shower all week.  I tried to wash off in a dirty lake on some farmer’s land.  However, the lake might have left me more dirty than I [...]

Tired

Shelley and I just got back from Camp Homeward Trails.  It was about five hour drive from here.  It feels good to be home.  It was exciting to see God work in the lives of our students.  We had seven kids that volunteered to serve as cabin leaders at their junior camp week.  Both of [...]

Next Week

This upcoming week I’m going to Camp Homeward Trails with some of our high-school students.  We are going to help as cabin leaders for their junior camp (3rd-6th grade). 
 So I’m probably not going to post much this next week. 

VBS

This week is Vacation Bible School.  If you’re a youth pastor, you gotta love VBS.  So things here will be crazy.  Our trip to Colorado last week was pretty tough.  We had a car breakdown half the way there.  Dead.  1990 Mirage.  May it rest in peace.  That car was good to us. 
 VBS should be [...]

Ministering to unchurched kids

Yesterday I went to the doctor’s office for a physical.  While I was in the waiting room I read this article in Billy Graham’s Decision magazine.   It has some pretty good thoughts about reaching and ministering to unchurched kids.  Most of my ministry has involved working with unchurched kids so that I thought that it [...]
