I used this clip this past weekend to set up a message about God’s frustrating inability to fit into my world of “convenience needy-ness”. I’m not sure I’ve ever been so convicted by a comedian before.

100 or more…
100 or more started as an outgrowth of the "larger youth ministries affinity group" after group publishing's National Youth Ministry Conference. join the discussion about the stuff that's working (and the stuff that isn't) in youth ministries with 100 or more students. all of us are trying to figure out how to serve Jesus and love students in the setting we've been given. be a part of the conversation.

I’ve used this clip in conversation with friends for the past few weeks…I think it’s so good. So true.
I’ve been meaning to give you this link. I think it’s a great (albeit a little long) article on spiritual growth. Thought you and/or the team would enjoy the perspective. I like that it’s challenging…and not just ordinary/expected. I want to quote the whole thing. Man, I love learning.
Miss you guys. See you soon. :)
