Warsaw. Fort Wayne. Burlington. Colorado. California. What more can I say? Only a few short years ago we sat next to one another, a small group in a Drury class (Jon and Zach (RIP Nate)), trying to figure out where we'd copy and paste more Christian themed images from the internet to fill the pages of a book we've hopefully glanced at at least once or twice since. And now we're entrusted with the lives, spiritual and physical, of Jr. and Sr. High students. Yikes.
The past months I've been thoroughly enjoying life as a youth pastor and married man and I hope you have as well. Although I've formed great relationships with the staff at my church and the parents of the students here, I miss you guys. I miss living in a house with like-minded ministry students, sharing ideas, frustrations and encouragements (insults too), and playing smash bros while adam tried to sleep. I created this blog in an attempt to better stay connected with you guys, as well as anyone else who might benefit from a forum of this sort. Lately I've come across tons of articles I'd like to share, events I'm thinking about, ideas for sermons, etc, that 18 months ago I could bounce of you whenever I felt like it. Not being able to do that as easily now, I hope this blog will help facilitate the discussion that I miss on a regular basis.
No pressure. If you're not a blogger, or even a blog reader, that's fine. If this thing dies in a month, I won't be offended. Just an attempt to stay connected with you guys and benefit from multiple IWU ministry degrees instead of just one. Let me know your thoughts.
