Jeff,

Just came across your blog and was happy to browse through the headlines. I’m sure I’ll be around here a little more often.

I work for Word of Life (an international youth ministry organization) and my boss (Mike Calhoun) has recently written a book about student leadership called “The Greenhouse Project”. I’d love to send you a review copy if you’re interested.

Comment on Should a Youth Pastor be Ordained? by Brian

Brian — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 13:49:39 +0000

In my opinion It’s up to the youth pastor. I have been ordained by God and it is up to me whether to seek the approval of men for something God has already done. When my church called me, they were recognizing the calling already on my life.

With that said, whether ordained or not, the position of youth pastor should be accorded the same respect as any other pastoral position.

As a 13-year veteran of student ministry, I cannot count how many times I have been treated as a “lesser pastor”, been called “junior pastor”, heard the words “you’re just a youth pastor” or been told to do things no one would think of telling another pastor to do.

Comment on Barna Research – Student Faith Devolopment by Jeff Nicolette

I have always enjoyed Barna’s research. He has done some great work getting stats prepared for others to use. You are correct in your assessment of the current generation. Students need to understand that truth and finality of God’s Word. They cannot grow up thinking that they can just pick and choose whatever beliefs they think best suit them. May we be the ones to lead them there.

[...] How many of you are familiar with ”The Screwtape Letters,” written by CS Lewis? I discovered a clip on youtube that was submitted by lifechurchtv, done in a similar vein. Have a laugh and then pray for the church. “Interview with Satan“ [...]
