jounrey to 100: 10.31

I can’t believe I’ve been at this for six weeks now.  It was a good week overall.  I thought I would have had a bigger loss than I did.  I’m down a notch on my belt and my t-shirts are fitting looser but my arms are starting to fill them out better.  I’m starting to be able to tell a [...]

super bowl party 2010

It’s a tradition every year at Bethel to host a HUGE Super Bowl party.  Last year we had 200+ students show up.  It was a blast.  At half-time I exploded some cans of pop with my bare hands, rolled 3 frying pans and broke a baseball bat.  Then I gave the Gospel – you could hear a pin drop off [...]

journey to 100: 10.24

This is week 4 since i began my journey again.  I’m excited about how it’s going but I feel like it should be going better.  I haven’t been eating my “snacks” between each meal like I should be so maybe I’m getting enough caloric intake right now.  That could be it.  Still I’m pretty happy with where I’m at right [...]

michael fugitt: concert review

Last night we had Michael Fugitt down to do a concert for our student ministries.  I love doing concerts/ events.  A ton of work and energy goes into them and honestly sometimes it’s not worth the hassle.  Last night was worth every minute, phone call, detail.  I have spent numerous hours on the phone with Michael and some good time [...]

signs that you should back away from a church's youth ministry position

I know what you’re thinking, “I saw this post title over at Tim Schmoyer’s site.  Yes you did.  I ripped it off of him!  Actually I was able to be part of a collaboration of some other great guys in youth ministry to help write the post.  Instead of posting some it here I want you to go to his [...]

b90x: week 1

God is DEFINITELY up to something right now in our student ministry at Bethel here in Newell.  There is no doubt about it.  Last Wednesday night I talked about the importance of theology.  That they only way to know theology is to read your Bible.  I then gave the application – B90X.  I know what you’re thinking, “What is B90X?”  [...]

journey to 100: 10.7

I realized today that the last post I had on my blog was that of my journey to 100 last week.  Things have been crazy busy this past week – busy but good.  I am in my third week of this round of my journey to 100.  So what is  the ‘journey to 100′?  Well for me it’s a journey [...]
