Puddle Jumper

May 6, 2009 in Family Ministry, Lead, Life 4

jumping over puddles, originally uploaded by anna.klevan.

If you didn’t know GVegas as we call it and the East Coast region have been pounded with rain lately and it probably won’t end until this week. But I’m walking outside this afternoon and I see two kids having a ball running through the rain. I can’t help but think to myself “When was the last time I bounded through a puddle”

Tons of memories flooded my brain, but one in particular. It was a beautiful summer day and we had our kiddie pool out. My parents were at the fence talking to our neighbors and I was riding my bike. I think I’m 7 at this time. If you know me you would know that it’s not a casual bike ride but instead a race to win supreme chancellor of North America or whatever title I had made up at that time. I remember the breeze and I remember doing the very southern style “Hey Mom & Dad watch this” and at that moment when I had my stage I turn around and plunge into the pool. Totally embarassing but totally full of emotion and adventure.

I wonder if we teach our kids the “lets have fun and experience an abundant life in Christ” or the “don’t jump in that puddle mentality”.

Do we live our lives in a way that shows kids that life with God is an adventure?

Do we teach the awesomeness of God and the abundant, adventurous, risky life?

Do we want our kids to experience the fullness of God or show them that works is how you go places?

So I’m challenging you to be a puddle jumper today. Take your kids outside and romp in the rain and experience the fun and teach them to live life with God as the forefront.

How do you connect?

The Couch, originally uploaded by Cienega Soon.

After talking with Human3rror or John Saddington, at the Blogger’s Lounge at the Orange Conference, I’ve realized that I haven’t put as much thought into how I connect with people as I should. I love to think that I am pretty good at making connections and then pointing them a direction that will give them the help that they need. But I’ve realized that we put up a ton of barriers for them to connect with us. I’ll give you some examples:

What do you have on your blog that will make 1st timers want to say?
What slows your blog down enough that people can’t wait long enough to see your “life changing” content?
What meaningful resources do you provide for people that they want to jump over the barriers?

In B School we talked a ton about Barriers to Entry. As a church, as a ministry, as a blogger, there are tons of barriers to entry are you aware of them?

And I’ll leave you with this thought: If you had a picture of your connection style is it a couch or a chair? Do you invite people to sit with you and connect and chill or do you make it seem as though you are on an island…

O so nervous

May 1, 2009 in Communication, Lead 4

It’s crazy to be young and in the spot that I’m in. I thought it was crazy before to be working at the church that I get to work with… But this is crazier. I am with all these bloggers and they are crazy awesome. I’m just trying to soak up as much knowledge as possible and then throw out a joke

hehehe… yeh…. (not as funny as I thought) heh, heh, heh, (I give up…) O you know that process

It’s been really awesome though. Thanks for everything Bloggers!

Getting Ready for the next session at Orange

May 1, 2009 in Lead 0

It’s been awesome so far. I plan on doing a little recap a bit later on in the day. Trying to network a little more today. Absolutely love meeting the people here and hearing their stories of ministry. It’s been awesome. Anyway today Perry Noble and Andy Stanley are up today. So be prepared to be beaten with some knowledge… Peace and if you’re at Orange find me and say hey. Also I hear there’s a rumor that Loswhit is coming today.

I’ll try to be quick with this one…

April 30, 2009 in Family Ministry, Lead 0

Two breakouts I had today:

Creating the Large Group Experience – Sunny Williams
The Father Factor – Craig Jutila

Creating the Large Group Experience

3 Things:

Set
Room
Content

Now you need to spend time in all 3 of these aspects and not just focus on one. I’ll try to be brief. I will give you a couple takeaways for production peeps. Use more music, adult large groups use it a ton to set mood and energy in the room. If the mood or energy isn’t where you want it then throw some music down that aids the mood. Not only music but a Producer. Now alot of staff people try to play the role of Producer but that is probably not your only role for that service. It is critical to get a detail oriented encourager in that role.

Father Factor I would love to spill my guts on this one, but I’ll give you two things:

First I’ll post his worksheet when I get back to the office so you can get the goodies.
Second, I’m not a dad but planning on being one in the distant future. Sorry Kristen But great tidbits… Really awesome breakout…

I’ve realized that the breaks allow me to try and catch up. But not enough time to adequately throw up my learning on you! So you’ll have to wait to wipe the junk off your face

anyway we are collaborating the live blog so all the peeps in the bloggers lounge will be involved in the liveblog.

Orange Fun Day

April 30, 2009 in Lead 0

So I told you a little about our teambuilding and I thought I would show you my favorite picture and a story behind it. At the Georgia Aquarium there is a ton of alligators in this one tank. Kids were crowding. This one very brave child bucks up to a gator. Bad idea…. here is what ensues….

imagine about 12 gators snap and then immediately stare down the kiddies. And I mean crazy stare down like we haven’t been fed if you make fun of us again you will be an appetizer and if you think im joking do that cute little buckup again son… What?! What?!

ok so maybe I embellished the gator speak but everything else is completely true. Completely true. And funny!

Anyway a story from a picture I thought I would share. Reggie got me thinking about pics last night. Might do the live blogging thing if people are into it. Don’t know how much I can do that other people aren’t already doing. Anyway #orange09 is 1 min. away I’m out!!!!

Wanna see the rest of the pics check them out here.

1st day of Orange…

April 29, 2009 in Lead 0

So tons of people posted about their thoughts and ideas from the preconference. I did not attend the Preconference and there is actually a legitimate reason why which I will get to in a bit. Basically we all know that there are tons of awesome reasons to attend Orange

crazy awesome speakers: Francis Chan, Andy Stanley, Louie Giglio, etc.
Great resources from curriculum to music to books and knowledge.
incredible worship and outstanding challenges from those just like you in roles just like yours.

And those are awesome. But something I think more important for at least the health of our team is the fact that we get ministered to…together. We spend Sundays in #kidmin in different areas and different ways, but usually never together, except for now. Orange Conference gives you an opportunity to get together with your ministry team and worship and grow and learn and hear the word of God together.

Today we took some time for some teambuilding and went to the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coke Museum. It was awesome to just hang out and have fun. It’s cool to get away for awhile and concentrate on strengthening yourself and your team. I had an incredible time but I really wanted to add just another reason why you should come to Orange 2010. Make sure that you make the jump. If you feel as if you are still unsure about taking your team.

DM me on twitter.

send me an email.

Drop me a comment.

And yes you should be jealous if you aren’t here right now.
