What I’m Reading

Posted by on May 3, 2012 in Books, Ministry | 0 comments

Over the past 3 months, I’ve tried to make reading a priority.  I’ve read more in the past few months than I have in a long time (since the Redwall days of middle school).  Here are some great books I’ve read recently.

The Explicit Gospel by Matt Chandler

Gospel-Centered Discipleship by Jonathan K. Dodson

Learning to Follow Jesus: Youth Edition by Daniel McNaughton and Claude Valdez, Jr.

99 Thoughts For Small Group Leaders by Josh Griffin

Here We Go!

Here it is… my first post. I hope this is the first of many. If you have wandered to this blog you’re one of three types of people:

  • A student trying to figure out what I do all day
  • My pastor trying to figure out what I do all day
  • A youth pastor doing Jr. High ministry just like me.

I want this blog, above anything, to be a place to share ideas, thoughts, and resources on all things jr. high ministry.  I am passionate to see students successfully bridge the gap between elementary school to high school and I hope my blog benefits your journey in ministry as well.  This will be a place to think out loud and I hope you can jump in on the conversation.
