About the Author

I am on a journey to see how God will use me in this messy thing called the "Church." While on that journey I have just recently moved to a new role as a Sr. Pastor. Not real sure what that means really, but God is moving and I will follow the wave as it goes.

Saturday morning thoughts…

This morning I am sitting here and just thinking about my oldest son, Ashton. In just a few weeks he will enter into our Jr. High ministry. He is very excited to finally be old enough to be a part of what we do on a weekly basis.  He looks forward to serving and learning how to do so much of what we make happen in our ministry through the use of students.

I on the other hand just feel like I am old.  I have been doing Student Ministry for 17 years and am really exited about my son being down in our ministry.  He is very talented and I look forward to him learning from us and serving with us to reach his generation for Christ.  What better relationship can I expect to have with my son than to have him excited about working alongside dad and wanting to do ministry?

There are some challenges that I will face.  I will become more aware of my illustrations.  I will have to learn to treat him as a student and not just my son.  We will have fun together and I am excited to be his spiritual mentor both at home and church.

    That would be a crazy feeling. I can’t imagine one of my daughters being in my ministry. But don’t worry. I’ll ruin him…uh…I mean watch over him. :)

    It is really crazy and at the same time I am excited about it.

    Nikomas – I look forward to the ruining coming form you instead of me.
