Something funny has happened to me…

…over the last few weeks.

How to be a Witness – revisited and revised

A few weeks back I wrote a short post outlining how someone, anyone can become a great witness. Have you worked on it?
Did you follow the steps? Did you add your own?

Becoming a witness is a never ending project, so let me ask you again – Have you ever wondered how you can be a grade A witness?

Social Media in Religion

A few weeks ago, I posted a devils advocacy piece on a YouTube video called “Why I Hate Religion, but Love Jesus.” This video has swept the world of Catholic Youth by surprise since it was made public. Sadly, it has made such an impact for all of the wrong reasons. Yes, the YouTube video is very well put together and the speaker, Jeff, has great presence, but the video contents lacks knowledge and depth. Jeff’s other videos are fantastic, but this one seems a little off. When you lack knowledge, you lack credibility. Unfortunately, this video makes Jeff look just a little bit less credible.

Moving forward in my own campaign, I would like to embrace YouTube and Twitter. I will tweet more times per day. Not only will the volume of my tweets increase, but the knowledge behind them will as well. When retweeting, I plan to make sure my sources are credible and when tweeting my own thoughts, I will make sure they are spot on.

As far as YouTube, I would really like to share my own thoughts via video, like Jeff, but only time will tell.

Please pray for me on my journey with religious social media.

What dreams may come true

If all of my dreams were to come true, the advertisement for my first pitch idea in this post would sound a little bit like this…

Offer it up for Lent

For those of you who don’t know what “offering it up” is, I’ll explain.

The Plan

In my last post, I proposed the idea of writing a youth group plan. Youth Ministry and planning are both things that are near and dear to my heart. In this post, I will expand on that idea.

Looking forward

I was faced with a daunting question: do I want to change this blog?

God Given Talent

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you shared your creative thoughts with the people around you? Would they laugh at you? Support you? Cheer for you? Help you?

Remember, creativity is a God given talent and you should never be embarrassed to share your talents with others. That said, here goes nothing.

My reward is with the Lord.

Though I thought I had toiled in vain…

We all feel like this once in a while, don’t we?
