A New Kind of Youth Ministry

I have finished the manuscripts to two of my most recent books.  Clear and Story, Signs and Sacred Rhythms are both slated to come out with YS/Zondervan sometime this year.  There is still some editing to go but for the most part — I feel done.

Currently, I am moving on to some other fun projects including a book with my friend and youth pastor Jason Gant, called, You Are Here: Developing a Life of Mission (working title).  It’s early in the process but it seems like it’ll be a helpful book for high school students.

As much as I have enjoyed not blogging for a bit, I am beginning to feel the itch again.  We’ll see how it goes. So I guess I am back for a while anyway.

I’m looking forward to being a part of a youth worker training day for metro KC youth workers tomorrow.  My friends Nate and Tim are hosting a bunch of us at their church — Hillcrest Covenant.  There is some great people talking about some great stuff.  I get to have a small part in it — with Jason Gant.  We are looking forward to teaching together for the first time.  We’re doing a two sessions on “Giving Your Life Away” (some basics on mentoring).
