In my first year of blogging these were the most popular posts from 2010. I’d love to hear your thoughts – keep the discussion going on each of these posts!
1. Focus on the right people – Do ministry thru others
- “The people you spend the majority of your time with can and will determine whether you are an effective or ineffective leader.”
- Staff’s #1 job is not to do ministry but to empower students to have a ministry.
2. The Chief End of College Students
- Because of their life goals, God is (perceived as) irrelevant to the life of a college student
- How to help Students find Purpose (when they’re not looking for it)
4. We need better leaders than came before
- “In building a movement, the students currently involved have to be better leaders than the previous generation because the movement is larger and more complex”
5. Biblical Dating in a Hookup Culture
- Notes/Powepoint/Video from a Dating Talk I gave at Cru
- It’s the best received talk I’ve ever given
6. Focus on right people – Followability
- How will college students come to Christ? They will Follow other students to Him.
- What can we do to develop “followability” in students?
- The college campus has changed dramatically in the past 50 years.
- It used to be a pancake.
- Now it’s a waffle.
- “How do we spend what we have to solve our problems, meet our goals, and increase what we have for next year and its problems?”
- I always enjoy a glimpse into others’ favorite sites online. Here’s mine.
10. We’re all professional speakers
- It’s not enough to work hard and do a great job in ministry. We HAVE to learn to communicate well about our ministry.
