Our ministry for young adults 18-20s.
Celebrating God’s Character songs While reflecting over a chilly spring break, I have to admit that I’ve been listening to some really good music! Kings Kaleidoscope, Ascend the Hill, Citizens and Saints, Phil Wickham, and Hillsong have filled my ears and successfully brought me to tears on several occasions. I don’t know why, but so…
What is Witnessing? What does it mean to be a witness of Jesus in this world? The apostle Paul, in 1 Corinthians 9:22 describes it as becoming “all things to all people, that by all means I may save some.” The idea here is meeting people in their course of life, whatever their lifestyle, vices,…
The desire to escape struggle We all go through struggles. It can be almost anything: depression, death, addictions, you name it. Our question is always: how do we break free from those struggles? The only problem with that is the fact Christ himself struggled when he came in the flesh. One of those struggles was…
Why many leave the faith Thousands of young people across the country are walking away from the faith of their childhood. Some feel bored by it, some feel morally restricted by it, some have never given a thought to taking it seriously. But still others, and perhaps a majority, can’t bring themselves to believe in…
A Humbling Moment Before I dive into my topic for this post, I want to reminisce on something that happened this winter while I was job-shadowing at an occupational therapy (OT) clinic. It was a few days before Christmas and a mother walked in with her two children, a boy around age 12 and a…
“You’re forgiven.” Words that you might think offer comfort and rest but instead would strike anxiety in my heart. I had heard this phase all of my life in church, through my own personal bible study, and in about 98% of worship songs. Personally, I always struggled with understanding and accepting that concept though. Most…
I hate the word “calling”. When I was a child I was always told to “find my calling”. Missionaries would come to the church and talk about how they had found their calling to ministry. I remember walking past two women one day and hearing one bragging about how her son had finally found his…
When I asked him why he wanted to go to dental school, a good friend of mine told me “I need to make as much money as possible so that when I grow up I can avoid all the pain I felt as a child.” “A yacht is something that we all should all own…
This is our story I remember the first time I felt that I was in the presence of God. It was incredible, like nothing I’d ever experienced. I felt pulled away from this world and into a new one, all while staying right here, with two feet on the ground. The worries, troubles, and anxieties…
I’m sure we’ve all been there before: caught in a summer job, long-term project, or class that feels exhausting. It brings no joy to us and sooner or later we all end up looking at the clock, hoping that it will just hurry up and end. Many times we find ourselves taking a minimalist position…
