    “Why Runks, Why” – March 21, 2010

    Join me now for a little recap of my crazy life on the road I like to call, “Why Runks, Why.”

    -Freedom Weekend 2010 for Lifepointe church in Glen Carbon, IL.

    -First DiscipleNow the church has ever had.

    -It was really fun & funny watching the students and adults wrestle with the -new to them- Dnow lingo like food coordinator, host homes, and time-away cards.

    -Spending more quality time with more students because of the smaller size of the group.

    -Working with and getting to know the guys in the band The Great Romance.

    -Working with students that don’t live in the “bible-belt.”

    -Seeing several students and adults give their lives to Jesus!

    -Getting ridiculously lost on a Starbucks run because of a lying Iphone gps and a girl that doesn’t know the difference between North and South!

    -Reconnecting with my old friend Bobby Robbins.

    -Working with Student Pastor, Kyle Parker, and his wife, Emily, who were both students at some of my events when they were teenagers.

    -And last but not least… A perfect shot of a priceless youth ministry moment

     

     

    Why Why Runks, Why???

    “Why Runks, Why”

    One of my former interns, Dylan Hope, used to greet me when I came off stage with a funny little recap of my message he liked to call, “Why Runks, Why.” Sometimes it was serious, sometimes it was hilarious but it was always fun and every once in a while it was productive. So I’ve decided to bring a revamped version of “Why Runks, Why” to the Runks.com experience by expanding it from a recap of a few minutes on stage to a recap of my events and experiences on the road.

    So join me now for the first installment of a little recap of my crazy life on the road I like to call, “Why Runks, Why.” – March 14, 2010

    -Cross Training Weekend • First Baptist Church • West Memphis, AR

    -Wanting to cancel and stay home with Nick after his car wreck last week.

    -Going anyway because I knew God wanted me to.

    -Ministering to two students dealing with some deeply painful junk and leading them from hopelessness to hope.

    -Making a “quick” Starbucks run with the seniors that turned into a trip to another state and an encounter with a gangbanger fond of inappropriate gestures.

    -Student Pastor Matt Neyman a.k.a. “Cracka Wit Attitude”

    -Crosstraining man????

    -Taking care of business with a quick trip to Graceland on the way to the airport.

    -A bunch of teens getting saved!

    -God moving powerfully. Students ministering to students in the most genuine way I think I’ve ever seen!

    -Sharing with parents about Nick’s wreck and challenging them to love on their teens and never take them for granted.

    I can’t wait to see what God does next week!!

    God Bless Y’all – Runks
