Your Past Is Not Your Future with Coley Reese (Article + Podcast)

March 12, 2022

Evangelist Coley Reese is a long-time friend. His ministry is a blessing, and it’s enjoyable talking with him.

If We Want Our Kids To Stay In Church (Here’s Five Things We Need to Talk to Them About) – Article + Podcast

June 26, 2021

Below is a list of five key subjects that the Church (and parents) must address forcefully and often if we want our kids to stay in church. Four of the five areas are subjects that the Church has largely remained silent on in the last several decades. It’s time to face the ugly reality that the Churches retention rate of young adults is rapidly dwindling. The stories of tragedy are countless and remarkably similar. The scenario usually goes something like this; Jamie graduates from high school where humanism, atheism, secularism, and every other “ism” you can imagine has been crammed into her head…

Connection vs. Carnality – In Student Ministry

January 17, 2021

It would be prudent, to begin with, this statement of belief: I believe in solid connection with students while being connected to each student in a unique and individually specific way. I believe and am an advocate for personal, one on one connection. Yet, I think we (student pastors, youth pastors, youth workers) are in danger of blurring the lines of connection and crossing into carnality. Let’s talk about it. The Field and the Pressure If we look at student ministry, we will find one of the most significant evangelism fields in the world. In the United States alone, there…

Here’s Why Young People View the Church Like the Last Old Department Store

July 2, 2017

In the last 25 years, the church growth movement has transformed how America has church. It has also changed how younger people view church. Many churches are now driven by business and marketing philosophies, moving away from a focus on discipleship and relationship with God. The pastor has changed roles from shepherd to salesman. A distorted view of grace is his wares. Evangelism is nonexistent. Apostles are no longer understood. Prophets are rejected. Teaching revolves around life skills. Prayer is redefined as positive thoughts, and the Spirit has no place in the business plan. People now go to church to be…
