Tonight we will be kicking off the Gospel Journey using Dare 2 Share’s curriculum called The Gospel Journey.  I am really looking forward to breaking our students into small groups and just talking about the things we see in the video.   It’s going to be intense and a great time of stretching and growth for both our adults and our [...]

  …at least that’s what the UPS website says.  I went last night to North Platte (52 miles) to go with one of my students to get his copy of Halo 3.  We came back with 3 copies.  It was crazy.  We were half-way there and the phone rang.  Kevin picked it up and I hear this, “Yeah man we [...]

I will be enjoying the game play of Halo 3 tonight. I’m so pumped. One of my students is going to get it at midnight…and since my copy won’t be here until tomorrow sometime. So tonight around1am I will be enjoying “pwning noobs” online. Yes that is gamer geek-talk for “giving senseless beatings to the newcomers of the game.” Josh [...]

We got home around 10:30 from the SURGE middle school rally in Kearney, NE.  It was a great weekend.  This was the first time I had ever been on a leadership team for this type of event so I went into this weekend not knowing what to expect.  In my opinion SURGE was a great success.  It was great to [...]

Microsoft and Bungie are marketing geniusses.  Halo 3 just keeps popping up all over everything.  You would think that they are anticipating this being the biggest video game launch ever…wait.  IT WILLBE! Now for a limited time you can get Halo 3 limited edition plastic cups from 7-11. All you have to do is follow this link, print off the [...]

I don’t share very often other posts from other people. I was reading Perry Noble’s blog today and it really hit home with me. It fits so perfectly with the message I shared this weekend about faith. How some of us are stuck in one spot becuase we are SCARED to move on from there. Faith is an action. He [...]

I am pumped about SURGE. This is the second year for SURGE. It’s a middle school rally for students put on by the EFCA Mid-Western District and I am really looking forward to it. For a couple of reasons. we are taking mostly 6th graders which is awesome that they want to grow in their faith this is the first [...]

Purpose is a word that has been thrown around alot lately. I think for good reason. We are all looking or searching for our purpose in life right? I was talking with my dad a few weeks back and he says to me, “You’ll never guess what Kaylei said. Kaylei is my 6 year old niece and is in the [...]

Last night I did our message on communion.  After the message we allowed the students to take communion.  I was surprised at how respectfully they treated it.  Seriously.  It was a great night.  This is just one more thing we are doing this year to be intentional about helping our students grow and understand their faith journey with God.  Right [...]

 This year we are making an intentional effort in sharing with our students everything that comes with our faith journey.  I am excited.  Last week we walked about baptism, the symbolism of baptism and how we are supposed do it out of our obedience to Christ.  We had 12 kids sign-up last week saying that they wanted to be baptized.  [...]
