I just started certification classes and they're kicking my butt. I need to rebuild my study skills and balance school work with FT ministry.

Totally manageable - I just need to get into the groove. Praying that it happens soon! :)

I'm happy that you're back to blogging :)

I'd like this book because I'm a chick in youth ministry and I'm always looking for tools to help me minister to my guy students.

Is that a good enough reason? :)

I got that same consumerism tone when I read it yesterday. Unfortunately I have that log in my eye as well. I do think there's a balance. I'm not against fun and crazy events once in a while. But our ministry can't be BUILT on those things. If the only reason the kids are coming is because there's an ipod giveaway at the end of the night, then I'm totally missing the mark.

However, I look at the things I choose to attend and wonder if I'm just as bad. If there's a worship leader that I like or a speaker I enjoy listening to I'm much more likely to make it a priority. Not a pretty thing to look at it the mirror - but there it is.

I look forward to following this conversation as it continues.

That makes total sense! I really appreciate that new perspective with regards to 'tension' ... I guess I need to wrestle out the difference between attracting students with flashy things and inviting students who are in community to enjoy those same things together. For instance: You can bring in a band, crazy event stations, etc. to attract students to the ministry OR you can bring in those same things occasionally to enjoy with the students who have already built community. They're two completely different scenarios. I don't know if that makes sense or not.
