What I’m Reading

I’m on vacation this week so I’ve been catching up on my favorite blogs.  Here’s a few posts that stuck out.

 

When it comes to youth culture, Walt Mueller is one of the best minds out there.  If you are a parent, his Center for Parent/Youth Understanding site is a great resource.  Also, I found his thoughts on the 2013 Teen Choice Awards is very insightful.

 

As for student ministry, Kurt Johnston at Saddleback is an absolute boss.  I love what he has to say here, especially about work-ethic among youth pastors.  This is something I’ve written about myself.  You can check out my post here.

 

Lastly, this post about church phrases by Chuck Bomar is fantastic.

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.
