Dancing, Ibuprofen, & Student Ministry

This past weekend I had the opportunity to speak at our Cross Point Student Ministries Fall Retreat, called Aftermath. I’ll be honest. I get more nervous speaking to students than just about any other group. I love them, they just kind of intimidate me. :)

Before my Friday night session an impromptu “dance off” broke out. Feeling led by the Lord to participate, I, for the first time in years decided to bust a move.

I’ve been taking ibuprofen every morning since to take care of the aches and pains. However, I haven’t found a pill to help my ego after getting “schooled” by a seventh grader.

And as you might imagine, there was a camera around which caught this incident. I know it’s a little dark. This is for your protection. Enjoy at my expense.

Forever Changed

I’m so proud of the student ministry here at Cross Point. George Stull and his team lead the student ministries which cover three, and soon to be four, campuses. In the past month I’ve heard people describe what’s going on in our student ministries here at CP as a “powerful movement of God among students.” Now that is exciting!

I saw this video the other day from their fall retreat and I couldn’t help but tear up. I’m passionate about seeing churches reach the next generation. I know the direction, support, and love I got from my youth group when I was a teenager forever changed the trajectory of my life. I’ll remain eternally grateful to God for putting a group of adults in my life who were willing to pour into an awkward, misdirected, yet searching teenager.

How about you? Did you have a youth group that impacted you?
