little storms and BIG STORMS

I am not claiming to have prophetic dreams. However, the other night I had a dream that woke me up a bit shaken. I was outside in my back yard with my girls and a large storm came in. In the distance I saw 4 small tornadoes dropping down. In an effort to protect myContinue reading “little storms and BIG STORMS”

Many Hats – Associate Pastor

I am not an easy follower. I have a hard time with authority. It is not natural for me to follow. I have heard the sermons and read the books on spiritual authority and I get it in my head but like so many things, it has a tough time dropping 12 inches into myContinue reading “Many Hats – Associate Pastor”

Many Hats

I am beginning a new series of blogs describing the many hats I wear as a youth pastor. I am doing this for a few reasons…some cathartic others to encourage ministers that have to do so much with a finite amount of time. As we unpack this hopefully it will help us honor God withContinue reading “Many Hats”

Collide

Collide is a once a month combined service that focuses on creative prayer and worship. If you have never seen 275 students worshiping God with intensity then you really are missing out. The theme of the night was Forgiveness. We had a forgiveness wall where students wrote the “stuff” that is on their heart. WeContinue reading “Collide”

4 years ago…

Pastor Cal called me into his office and offered me the job of youth pastor for Pointe North Church. I thought I was out of youth ministry and I thought I was on to other things, yet here I was in an office and Cal making a compelling sales pitch (as only he can). HeContinue reading “4 years ago…”

End of Discussion…discussion

Last night was CRAZY! Nancy, my assistant was out sick all week, my 6 year old has been sick so I have been off my routine and I was going to be preaching on the realities of Satan’s attacks. So, you can imagine there was going to be some warfare going on already. TheContinue reading “End of Discussion…discussion”

Thanks BRAD!

Brad Cooper, the student pastor at Newspring Church in Anderson blogged not too long ago about sending out evals to your volunteer team giving them freedom to critique you and your ministry. WOW, I took that challenge and it was sobering. It is amazing no matter how good you think you are doing, how manyContinue reading “Thanks BRAD!”

Say you wanna revolution?

This Sunday I am going to be sharing a message that I believe will be inspirational and challenging. Isaiah 43:19 says, Behold I am doing a new thing. What is that new thing and how is Pointe North Church a part of that. If you think you simply come, sit, worship and go home andContinue reading “Say you wanna revolution?”

Collide

Students = 288 First timers = 15 Adults = 29 : Total = 309 Last night was the first of our monthly combined services called “Collide”. We had the most fun I have EVER had in 16 years of youth ministry! The service began with a game called “Crowd Simon” thanks to Phillip Mccart andContinue reading “Collide”

Urgent robs the important

There is an encounter in the bible where Jesus visits the home of Mary and Martha. Mary sat at the feet of Jesus listening to the teachings while Martha was running around tending to the urgent needs of dinner and turning the TV on to the football game (ok, I made that part up). AfterContinue reading “Urgent robs the important”
