Check out www.dontwasteyourlife.com. They have a podcast (downloadable in iTunes too) and a blog that are updated at least once a week. The videos are short and super-challenging.

John Piper talks about how in the bible Jesus talks more about money than he does heaven and hell. It IS difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God! But what is impossible with man is possible with God.

From age 15/16 to 19/20ish I was quite frivolous with the way that I spent money. CDs. Clothes. Junk food. Praise God that he has changed me – but I pray that he would keep changing me. To my ccecyouth readers: don’t be frivolous with your money!!! Older readers who have greater access to $$$ need to hear this just as much: don’t be frivolous with your money!!!

Invest in that which will last forever. 2 Cor 4:16-18

How are you tempted to waste your life? How are you frivolous with money, time & your life? What steps are you taking to invest in eternity?

Youth Ministry: J-Walk issue #003

Here is our latest J-Walk magazine. There is also a short podcast on the same page.

After 3 issues, the magazine has been a lot more successful than I imagined. All of our ccecyouth crew have hooked straight in and are lapping it up.

If you are a youth minister or youth leader, feel free to use our material with your teens… but even better… make your own!! It’s really not that hard. Get a few people to write short articles… find someone with artistic talents to make a cover and giddy up! Feel free to pass on a link to our j-walk site to people who might be interested. j-walk.ccecyouth.com

Have you had a read? What do you think?

Youth Ministry: Going Global

In our attempt to ‘go global’, On the Poddy has been featured in the May edition of Southern Cross. If you’ve missed all the ‘Poddy Royale’ episodes – go and listen now! (Have you played our game?)

Below is the first part of the article:

One of the top rating internet radio shows amongst Australian teenagers was born in the toilet of Central Coast Evangelical Church’s youth minister.

The low-budget, low-effort weekly chat show is regularly ranked in the Top 50 Australian iTunes downloads. On occassion it has peaked in the Top 10 with nearly 1,000 subscribers.

“And sometimes this even happens when we don’t rig the number of downloads!” laughs youth minister and radio show host, Dave Miers.
