Here’s a clip:

When my students start to wander away from God, or it just doesn’t seem like anybody is paying attention anymore, I have the tendency to run to the to-do list.  The to-do list is safe and it makes me feel spiritual, but most often it just serves to remind me how far I am from where I want to be with my guys.  It’s counterintuitive, but sometimes the most spiritual thing I can do with my guys is have fun. 

When it comes to student ministry, Jon is a genius and he’s a a lot of fun to work with.  He’s taught me at least 73% of what I know about student ministry.  Do yourself a favor and check out the rest of his post.
