TrueLife Creativity Teams

Our TrueLife (TL) creativity team has been in the process of looking at what our DNA should be as Creativity Teams?  Through the process we have come up with “play ground rules” a manifesto of what will guide all of our creativity teams in the future.  The concepts that I love is that we give [...]

Purple States

I have recently began watching Purple States tv.  The New York Times have selected five people throughout the United States (Iowa, South Carolina, California, Florida and Maine) to interview the Presidential candidates.  These individuals are not professional journalist or political specialist, they are citizens asking the candidates questions that are effecting the American people.  These selected citizens [...]

Merry Christmas?

A recent survey released by Rasmussen Reports after the Thanksgiving holiday showed that 67 percent of Americans favor the phrase “Merry Christmas” being used in seasonal advertising while only 26 percent would choose “Happy Holidays.”  There are many Christians choosing not to shop at stores that are choosing to market Christmas with the terminology’s “Happy [...]

Skype

I was listening to a youtube video blog yesterday and I heard someone use a word I was unfamiliar with in a sentence.  He said, ”Then we came back to the hotel blogging and skyping, it was a pretty average day.”  The only definition that I have found was on the Urban Dictionary and it states:  [...]

Traditional or Modern?

I was reading in Matthew 13:15 today and it is interesting to me that each person grew to deafness and then they closed their eyes! (I think this is a clear picture of what is happening within many ministries today.)

Battle Cry – San Francisco – ATT Park

  
If you have been in youth ministry for a while you have heard the name Ron Luce.  Though many look at Ron’s approach as very extreme, you will find that his motivation behind the war on America is a fight against immorality.  I think we would all agree that we desire to help preserve our moral beliefs [...]

Motivated by???

I am in a contemplative mood this morning and I wrote some thoughts down that I’ve been thinking through in a poetic form.
 

Today I awake, but what motivation has overtaken me?
I go to the office, but the objective is another task, not the life that needs to be shown, the love of Christ.  We [...]

Mosquito Ring Tone

I was in my office yesterday and I had a group of teens playing with their cell phones.  They asked me if I could hear their ring tone call mosquito.  I really thought that they were joking with at first, but as I looked into it I found that teens today are using these new [...]

Googlenope

There is a new word definition that came out about three months ago.  It is called a Googlenope (n.) which is a phrase that returns with no hits when entered in quotations in a Google search engine.    So a Googlenope is a word  like “Razor marshmallows“  “whale clog dancing“  “brown bear swimming lessons“  “test dummy [...]

i-story07

I am in the process of putting together a Youtube group where students can post video blogs sharing what God has already done in their life.  This is a great way to solidify and also encourage students who may be struggling with their walk with God.  
If you are a Youth Pastor or Leader I would like [...]
