So my blog is not going away, but I will be posting a little less often. I need to focus on school & church a little more and technology a little less. So I will still be posting just not as much.

One thing that has stuck with me since my churches leadership retreat this past winter, was that you have to “be Comfortable being Un Comfortable.” This was in regards to talking about how to welcome first time visitors to church, along with reaching out to kids at school. I love the saying because talking to people who it is there first time to church is awkward and at times un comfortable. They are nervous and un-comfortable. The hardest part is making them feel comfortable and like the have been going to the church for years. But the first step is for you to be comfortable when it is un-comfortable.

Nothing is more awkward than this

What I read and Why?:

Sean McDowell is super smart, but also a great communicator. I first heard him speak when he did a 3 week series at my church. It was awesome. His blog is pretty cool as well.

Josh Griffin writes over at More Than DodgeBall. First off the name is pretty creative. But he is also the Pastor of the High School Group that I go too. His blog posts are always interesting. He also Co-Owns the largest Star Wars Website

Jeremy Zach – I met him last year when I went to my Cousins youth group for fun. The best way to describe Jeremy is Hardcore. He isn’t afraid of teaching on some tough & confusing topics. Anyways, he is great at challenging you and asking the tough questions.
