As you may or may not have noticed, I’m really slow to endorse, well, anything. I need to be reasonably assured that a book, conference, etc., would be valuable before I’ll urge you to invest in it. I’m all the more careful about endorsing anything connected to myself. But after …
Meatier matter from the College Ministers Cohort and the Catalyst Conference will likely come later this week – not only by me (hopefully), but as I point to others’ learnings, too. But this blog should also report our successes as a field. And I would honestly say I think the …
By now, anybody who’s coming to the College Ministers Cohort should have gotten their tickets, and I look forward to seeing you there! If you’re not going to make it to Catalyst this year, you can still join in the fun… Be watching the blog for updates on what we’re …
A couple of announcements: The first is for everybody, including those who WON’T be able to join us in Atlanta next week. The second is for those who are planning to attend the College Ministers Cohort at Catalyst! 1. Our heroes, proving (once again) they care about college ministry. Clearly …
Yesterday morning I got the fun chance to lead a roundtable session at College Metro. But like many of those things (or at least the discussions I lead), we definitely ran out of time. HOWEVER, one happy thing about having a blog is being able to dump all kinds of …

Here are three updates from the world of Passion, a college ministry that continues to influence our field perhaps more than any other single ministry. (My most recent Passion experience really helped me understand them even better; read my thoughts on that here.) Passion City Church coming soon. As you …
Hi from New Mexico… it’s time for another “trends to watch” post. If you didn’t read the prologue of the first “Futures Market” post two weeks ago, I’d encourage you to do that here (and you’ll find the first three trends there, as well). The second list of trends can …
Friday, I had the excellent opportunity to attend the Passion Regionals “Vision Meeting” for the upcoming Dallas/Fort Worth Passion Regionals event. Not only was it like a lil’ family reunion with my college ministry friends from this area, but I got to experience the “heart” of Passion in a way …
I thought I’d connect you with a few “items of interest” for ministry that I’ve encountered on this trip. Have fun! 1. unChristian. This book should be huge soon enough. I’ve heard plenty about unChristian this year – not only at two different conferences but by multiple instances of word-of-mouth, …
