Everyone has an excuse, I don’t believe in Jesus. I’m too busy. Can I wait until I’m an adult. And on and on. The thing is, Jesus experienced rejection first hand. Can you imagine, knowing what you know now, turning down the opportunity to follow Jesus? Students (and adults), like the people of the first…
I have a new series out called Live.Breathe.Be and it based on the Apostle Paul’s conversation with the philosophers at Athen’s Aeropagus, where Paul said, For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’ Acts 17:28 If you want this first…
NF is back and his new video to his new song Lost is, in my opinion, his best yet. I’ve watched dozens of Reaction Videos to NF’s music videos and many cannot figure out what NF is saying in these videos. Knowing that NF (Nathan John Feuerstein) believer and Christ Follower is helpful in interpreting…
That day is coming, if it has not come already, where you will open your youth room doors and students will come in for the first meeting after the pandemic, but what kind of students will be returning? Will they be the same students you had before or have their values shifted? This is your…

It’s my belief that it takes multiple commitments to Christ before a teenager starts to “get it” and they discover…
For a long time I gave away many of my resources. I did so because I wanted to serve youth workers and bless them with stuff they could use with their youth ministry. As social media grew, so did my desire to use these new platforms to help youth workers. With over 500 Youtube videos,…
Who are we in Christ? That’s the question I wanted to answer for a bunch of middle school and high school students during a weekend retreat at Life For Youth Camp in Vero Beach, Fl. The answer I came up with: Supermodels. After thinking and praying about what the text would be for the weekend…
I was recently commissioned to write a five day devotion book for a Christian basketball camp. This is the first time I have attempted a sports driven devotion which is odd since I really enjoy sports. Here are my sports allegiances in case you were wondering Football: New York Giants Basketball: The Knicks Baseball: Yankees…
It’s almost that time. The time when everyone loses their minds in ministry and argue over that one day of the year, Halloween. Over the years, I’ve seen so much energy put into whether “the church” should acknowledge Halloween let alone leverage it to reach people for Jesus Christ through things like Trunk or Treat…
