The Dead-Line Driven Life

Adrenalin? Stupidity? Laziness? Faithlessness? Procrastination? I’m not sure what it is, but I work best when I seriously push deadlines. Like seriously. It’s definitely one of my super-powers. While it is a good skill, I’m keen to move away from having to draw on this super-power of mine all the time! It’s important: for the sake of my family, for others who rely on me; and for godly discipline.

Got any crazy dead-lines stories?

The Catalytic Cross

If you followed my commentary on NYMC07 you'd have seen that I concluded that "Australian Youth Ministry needs leaders who will preach Christ Crucified to a dying generation." Over the weekend Greg Stier spoke at a similar conference in the US about the need to preach Christ crucified. Check out his talk summary. Marko didn't agree with the talk (last paragraph). Schmoyer did. I'm with Stier and Schmoyer on this one.

The Double Break It Up Down Crawl

Friday night was Double break it up down. It was a big night! Dan and I did a crawl of the 9 different events run on the night. Exhausting, but fun. At each venue we recorded a Podcast. They only go for a couple of minutes each. Check them out below:
