We sold our house and are looking to move closer to the school where we do club. It is a lifelong dream to live super-close to the school. We want our house to be a hub of club, campaigners, Friday night football tailgate parties, … you get the idea. We […]
Here are a couple links from my friend Andi who is on staff in NorCal. www.biblemap.org A very cool Google map organized by Bible book, chapter and verse, "It would be great for campaigners". www.bibleplan.org Lots of leaders have never read through the Bible, but want to. This can help […]
I can tell which search terms lead people to this blog. Here are a couple funny ones… "hannah montana skit" I get TONS of hits from this one. I guess it is because I suggested doing a Hannah Montana skit called Banana Montana. I actually know clubs across the country […]
I hope your summer was great. I hope to post some ideas and lessons learned over the summer from camp, assignments, campaigners, etc. In the mean time, the Fall semester is upon us. In my area school started this week and I have been meeting and catching up with leaders […]

This year I completed a Master of Divinity degree. It took a lot. A lot of time, a lot of money, a lot of reading, a lot of writing, a lot from my family, a lot of everything. Yet, it was all worth it. I was rather serious ,even before […]
This year I had the opportunity to speak at a snowboarding camp in Northern California. They were nice enough to take care of my arrangements, but I thought I’d push my luck and see if they had room for me to bring one of my club kids with me. And […]
We were having an all you can eat Taco Bell club (at Taco Bell). As if that wasn’t good enough, I talked to some guys about making a video to promote it. Not only did it help the guys, some of whom had only been once to YL, but they […]
