August 21, 2019 09:57 - 57 minutes - 52.7 MB

Once I heard Chris Hodges say that it's better to bring him in to speak to your team during the week than it is to speak on a Sunday. I feel the same way! As much as I love preaching, I love coaching and leading leaders even more. This was a fun opportunity to speak into the youth team at The Bridge Church in Fresno, CA led by Hayden & Lindzi McAndrew. They have an incredible team that pulled off the largest night in their youth ministry's history just a couple of nights later. This...

I always use the week between Christmas & New Years to "chart the course" for the year ahead. We all want to be more productive in 2019. The challenge is finding the tools that you'll ACTUALLY use to help you be productive.

App fatigue is a real thing, so I took time to share the 5 tools that I'm ALREADY using to be more productive this year. This isn't about the late...

How Do I Thrive As A Single Person?

October 30, 2018 02:13 - 49 minutes - 45.2 MB

Over the last decade, I've helped a lot of young adults navigate through life as a single person. One thing I've learned is that the world outside of the church tends to be much more comfortable with the idea of singleness than the Church itself. Though they may never say it, many Christians feel like they cannot find fulfillment & purpose in life outside of marriage — and that’s a huge problem! If you're single, you need to know something: YOU ARE OK! Your single season is not just...

Breaking Elbows and Taking L's

September 04, 2018 09:30 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MB

So I broke my elbow this summer...and I've been thinking a lot in my spare time. That's a dangerous recipe for some fresh leadership thoughts and a little insanity in between.

You Can't Do Life Alone: A Teaching Session on Biblical Community

June 13, 2018 02:30 - 1 hour - 59.5 MB

Life was never meant to be a solo venture. We need each other for encouragement, growth, and accountability. Growing in Christ always happens best through community and relationships. Plus, it’s way more fun that way. Simply put, we are better together. In this session, I dive into one of the core values at our church, "we do life together." This talk was in more of a classroom format which is SO MUCH FUN for me! --- just ask one of our Triad School of Ministry students. It's a litt...

If your ministry is going to grow you can't just expect volunteers, you have to develop a healthy volunteer culture.

And he did it all while finishing college, navigating engagement, and only being a part-time youth pastor. Alex is a promising young leader that's making waves in his community and helping volunteers in his church "find what they are a 10 at." This in...

April 03, 2018 09:00 - 33 minutes - 31 MB

In This Episode: Hayden & Lindzi McAndrew came over for dinner, and we got into a deep conversation about worship & prayer culture in youth ministry. WARNING --- this is terribly convicting and challenging, but I walked away more encouraged than anything. If you're a pastor or leader, you need friends in ministry to share life with and challenge you with special moments like these. Interestingly enough, this was a common occurrence for us in our living room. If you're leading young...

Why The Romans Road Is Broken & How To Fix It (Part 2)

March 13, 2018 09:00 - 28 minutes - 25.7 MB

PART 2: Maybe you've heard of the Romans Road as an effective evangelism tool for sharing the gospel. Though it's been taught for several decades, I believe it's rooted in poor theology and an incomplete narrative of how great and grand the good news really is. The story of redemption is just too important to over-simplify. For this 2-part episode, I put on my theology glasses to show you a better, more complete story --- the 7-Mile Journey. I may or may not have worn a tweed jacket...
