WEBSITE SHOP PODCAST YOUTUBE BLOG Greetings Awesome Person, If you're looking for a graduation song to put with that slide show or video for your graduation service, here are my choices. Keep in mind, not all of these songs may be appropriate for during your church service, but better for youth meeting, so be sure to listen to the whole song, read the lyrics and pray about which song will make the best statement to your students, families and congregation.

WEBSITE SHOP PODCAST YOUTUBE BLOG Hello Awesome Person, I just launched a brand new podcast and I'd love for you to check it out. I have thoughts on media and how Christians approach it/use it and with no where to put these thoughts, I started a new show on my Youth Ministry in Motion Podcast. Every Tuesday I will look at some piece of media be it a movie, song or book where I think Christians are overreacting or under-reacting and if there is a lesson to be learned. But I won’t just be...

WEBSITE SHOP PODCAST YOUTUBE BLOG Greetings Awesome Person, Easter is never really over. You may be putting away the yard sign or switching out kitchen towels for summer, but Easter never ends. Such is the case with this verse, and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?” Mark 16:3 Like the women being concerned about the physical obstacle of the stone blocking the tomb entrance, you may be worried about the obstacles that lay ahead in your own...

WEBSITE SHOP PODCAST YOUTUBE BLOG Hey Awesome Person, 6:45: No one 6:50: No one 6:55: No one 7:00: No one 7:15: No one Thought in my head, “Hmmm, no is coming, really?” I shall dub this No Show Wednesday, The Youth-pacolypse. Last night was the first time, in 35 years, I had no one show up for a youth meeting. One kid, two kids, sure. No kids, never, until now.

WEBSITE SHOP PODCAST YOUTUBE BLOG Greetings Awesome Person, He is STILL risen! I try to post this every Monday after Easter. Why?

It was just a donkey. Just a room. Just a basin and a towel. But in the hands of Jesus, the ordinary became sacred. In Luke 19, two disciples are sent to fetch a donkey—no spotlight, no applause. Just a simple, quiet task. Yet that donkey carried the Savior into the city to begin the most important...
