Theology Evolved?

I was a Youth Pastor?

My focuses would be on:

1. To disciple and educate the young believers into mature and knowledgeable Christians capable of being ambassadors of the Most High God.

2. To demonstrate and encourage a relationship based evangelism where it is more important to have an authentic relationship showing the love of Christ and encouraging towards salvation rather than the broad shotgun approach to gain lots of surface level salvations with no follow-up.

3. To provide a venue where young believers can increase in their faith and be where they can worship and fellowship while also providing another venue designed to be “non-believer” friendly that encourages having an open mind towards Christianity and is a fun atmosphere.

4. To establish a mentorship program where I take the time to cultivate students, also to have adult leaders mentor, as well as graduating high school students take younger students under their wings to help build a inter-generational youth group.

5. To show students a broader perspective of the world by taking them on short-term mission trips to various parts of the world covering multiple income levels and demographics.

6. Top provide for times of relaxation and introspective meditation where students can meet God in an intimate way through retreats and also to provide a community involving broad invitation camp for a fun getaway for those who are not Christians.

7. To encourage students to build an inter-church youth group to dissolve divisions between churches.


There will be a deeper look at each of these to follow as I finish researching, writing, editing, rinsing and repeating. Should not take too long. Check back.

This will be the precursor to some of the blogs I am going to try and put up. And rather than these focusing on 20/20 hindsight I am hoping these are pointing me in the opposite direction. To dream big and to give myself foresight into what I would try to do before I live a life with regrets.

Randy Elrod over at Ethos had this on his blog and I felt it was worth sharing. What an amazing video with dynamic wide angle shots and minimalist coloring.

So I have been looking at the purpose of my blog. Which for all intensive purposes has been a time to time account of what is going on in my life, a few theological ponderings, and after that just whatever seems to come to my mind.

So I guess I just want to say that I am going to think about, research a bit, get really introspective and start getting personal. So I am going to start posting some "What If's" regarding What I would do if I was in such and such a position regarding responsibilities, jobs, etc. I don't know how soon the first one will come and if they will come on set days or not.

All I know is, I am going to try.

So to you, the few, the patient, my friends and family, I thank you for holding out and I hope I make you proud.
