This year we started an official campus club. There are a couple reasons why. First, official campus clubs can use the facilities free, that help a ton. Next, this allows us to be on campus more and even do announcements. It also allows us to be at things like freshman […]
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 […]

If you are heading off to camp one thing you absolutely must do is get in a one-on-one with each kid. This can be the most meaningful time not only for them, but for you. It can be intimidating to sit down and have a conversation with them. So here […]
As the summer approaches fast, it is very helpful to look back and think about what we’ve learned. This gives praise to God and all that He has done. It is also being a good steward of our time, there is no reason we should keep repeating the same mistakes […]
We head off to camp in just a few days. Most speakers will provide a couple questions at the end of their talk for cabin time. Some will go further to tell you them in the leader meeting. Some will even give you a handout with all of them on […]
Our school just had their Prom. What better to do than a Mock Prom! Have people come in hideous outfits. Get a punch bowl, a backdrop for pictures (I got one a a party store for $5) and a disco ball and you are all set. Enjoy! Mock Prom Club
