Welcome to my blog/site. Glad you stopped by. True story. I've been in student ministry for a while now and this is a way to track with what's going on in my life and ministry. Thanks for jumping along for the ride.
Last weekend we finished up shooting a little more footage for a promo video we are going to have here on the blog soon for my first book. In thinking about it I realized that I had to be honest about something… if I am going to promote these pages, stories and truths that I [...]
* Please note- this is a serious and wordy post. The Student Ministry/ADD side of me apologizes for the length but is pleasantly shocked that I could actually sit down and write this much without one stupid joke in it.
