Stuff I’ve Been Reading

There are a lot of great blogs out there.  Here are a few of my favorite posts from the past few weeks:

 

1.  I love this post about secretly being an introvert.  This was a recent and incredibly freeing discovery for me.  Here’s an old post that describes my discovery.

2.  I’m a fan of social media and I usually don’t oppose it for students.  However, there are two apps that I would like to punch in the face:  snapchat and ask.fm.  This  post by Walt Mueller explains my issues with ask.fm

3.  If you are a parent that is thoroughly confused by the apps your children are downloading, this site is for you:  http://www.commonsensemedia.org

4.  Maybe it’s a good thing if you don’t go to college: http://themattwalshblog.com/2013/08/23/kids-go-to-college-or-youll-die-alone-in-misery/

5.  Here is a sobering post on the pervasiveness of pornography:  http://www.covenanteyes.com/2013/09/10/10-surprising-pornography-stats

6.  I’m very excited about this blog series on teaching students:  http://uthmin.net/np-communicating-to-students-1

 

Enjoy…

A little about me: I’ve been a student pastor for 12 years and currently serve as the student ministries pastor at Ada Bible Church in Grand Rapids, MI. Ada Bible is a multi-site church of about 9,000. Most of my time is devoted to leading my amazing team, writing curriculum, teaching, and trying to navigate the challenges of multi-site church. I absolutely love my job and the people I am blessed to serve with. I’m primarily a family guy. My wife and I have five incredibly awesome and unique kids. Most of my free time is devoted to them. When I can find time for me, I love beach volleyball, writing, fishing, video games or a good book.
