If you’re new to this blog – or even if you aren’t – you might have missed some of the highlights from a very busy summer! So before the approaching school year begins, here are some of the top blogs, biggest adventures, and most important milestones from the summer of …
It’s a testimony to the craziness of my recent road-tripping history that Road Trip 12 could be deemed “short,” but this recent 10-day trip was possibly the shortest of the twelve multi-state, college-exploring road trips I’ve taken since 2004. Yet it’s a happy fact that this trip was still really, …
So… it looks like my next multi-state collegiate road trip is coming a little sooner than I expected. Tomorrow, in fact. (And if you want the chance to help “choose my own adventure,” keep reading.) Surprise! There are multiple reasons I didn’t see this one coming. But as of last …
Two years ago today, I announced on my brand new Exploring College Ministry blog that I would soon embark on a pretty ridiculous adventure. I wrote that first post on the very day that God confirmed the idea I’d been praying about: taking a massive, nationwide road trip to research …

If you’re a regular blog reader, you know I announced my newest Development Project about a month ago. This Project is a chance to work toward a solution to one of the biggest problems in Collegiate Ministry: how churches develop their collegiate work. I figure an update is in order. …
If you happen to check out my Twitter feed on occasion, you know that I’ve recently begun working my way through all the notes from last year’s yearlong road trip. It’s a mighty undertaking, to be sure. But even though I’ve only made it through the Chicago Chapters, I already …
As I messaged to everyone in the Facebook group last week, I’m working on a new endeavor for the fall! This project focuses on one of the most neglected areas in college ministry – strategic development of churches’ collegiate impact. My hope is to spend the Fall Semester helping a …
I’ve been rather under-the-weather off-and-on since returning from Road Trip 11. It’s a pain, but I think my body is recuperating. So I’m mostly taking today off from the blog, but there are a few big things coming on the blog I figured I could highlight even in my sickly …
