    CORE Values is about an article written by Greg Stier of Dare 2 Share Ministries. "How to Implement the 7 Values of a Gospel Advancing Ministry" is the name of the article. There are many organizations that you can find to help you with CORE Values that I mention in this episode, but this one is very good if you have been looking for direction and needing help in getting started and/or evaluating why things seem off centered or not focused. This might help get you back to center and seeing the Spirit of God move in your ministry. Be Strong and Courageous and keep moving forward. _______________________________

    The World-O-Meter is pretty impressive. It's calculating the births and deaths in 20 countries by the second (or faster), to let us know approximately how many people are alive on planet Earth each second of every day. How can we as youth workers, youth pastors, student ministry leaders, and volunteers reach the millions that are being born each year, each second of every day? It's Overwhelming... So how? Jesus...said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are impossible." - Matthew 19:26 _______________________________

  • 244 Good Idea or Bad Idea? - Winter Retreats

    244 Good Idea or Bad Idea? - Winter Retreats
    Feb 26 2025

    The best time for college retreats seemed to be at the beginning of Christmas break and return from that trip the day before Christmas. Was it successful yes... for several years. Was it worth it? For the students yes.... for my family who was very gracious to me? No.

    Why? Because all things in Jesus name are not necessarily the best thing to do. That sounds wild right?

    We did eventually move these trips to fall during spring breaks, but you have to use at least 2 different spring break weeks to cover a lot of the students since they were not always at the same time. The beauty of the Rocky mountains was always amazing! But... I had not yet learned the one rule, in which I will repeat over and over again for your sakes as leaders... and for you and your families health. ”You MUST say NO to something BEFORE you say YES to something else."

    FYI... That NO should be to some other equal project, ministry, or hobby that takes time from your family and health. All around health is important!

    Peter Drucker, the Father of Modern Business and mentor taught Pastor Rick Warren that specific truth. He would always say, “Rick... Tell me what you gave up before you tell me what you are doing next."

    A few things...

    1. It was the best time to get college students enthused and signed up.

    2. It was a beautiful time of the year to hit the slopes.

    3. Students came from all over the United States and that enthused the local students.

    4. The Gospel was shared and souls were saved.

    What would I do differently now?

    1. I would never go at Christmas time. That time should have been reserved for my wife, children, and their memories.

    2. I would have moved it to every other year and not every year.
