Fun with Tutorials

I love learning and creating so tutorials are great ways for me to spend an evening. So I found this cool tutorial to make a notebook. I don’t know if I can ever use this actual design, but it helped me to learn several basic techniques. Anyway check out the tutorial from this link and my own drawing below.

 

Average Youth Guy

I don't have all of the answers and some weeks it feels like I don't have any of the answers. I often find a good word picture or object lesson and build the lesson off of that instead of the other way around. I don't always pray as much as I should and I never study as much as I should. But I love students ministry. I love watching teenagers as they serve God. I love to see them worship and forget about themselves for a while. I love seeing someone wake up to the love of God if only for a little while. I love to see them out serving their community and sharing the love of Christ with others. I love to be a part of their lives and I love seeing the world through their eyes. I am an average youth minister.

    This has nothing to do with this post,…but the post I wanted to talk about does not have a comments thingie…so…here is where I am posting.

    I am doing the Friend of a Wounded Heart skit (revamped- with the newer Avalon version of the song and complete with audio soundbytes. I’ll let you see the finished product when I am done, if you want to see.) But I wanted the old version that we did in ZT as a guide so, I did a google search of the skit. Oddly, several youtube videos came up, AND….your site. I just thought it was funny and wanted to you. (Who wrote this skit anyway?)

    So that’s all.

    It was a joint effort by the people who were in it. I think Chandra was the lead on it, but I could be wrong. We sort of ripped the idea off of another drama group at the state thing our freshman year.

About Me

I don't have all of the answers and some weeks it feels like I don't have any of the answers. I forget students names sometimes and say stupid things that hurt their feelings. I often find a good word picture or object lesson and build the lesson off of that instead of the other way around. I have put the finishing touches on a Wednesday night Bible study on Wednesday more times than I can count. I don't always pray as much as I should and I never study as much as I should. I try every new youth ministry model that comes from the "experts" and I have had at least 3 mission statements over the past 5 years.

But I love students ministry. I love watching teenagers as they serve God. I love to see them worship and forget about themselves for a while. I love seeing someone wake up to the love of God if only for a little while. I love to see them out serving their community and sharing the love of Christ with others. I love to be a part of their lives and I love seeing the world through their eyes. Like I said, I'm an average youth pastor.

About Nailscars.com

For almost 20 years now I have been trying to add creative ideas for use in the local church. In the early days Nailscars.com was just a place to publish some scripts, but it has become a collection of creative ministry resources for youth ministry and worship.

I began writing a blog more to process my own thoughts more than anything else. As I started writing the comments that I got back from people amazed me. As I was honest with my struggles most of them would write and say “Thank you.” “It is just nice to know someone else struggles with these same things,” was a common response.

So this has become a place where I share the struggles and successes of being in youth ministry. I hope that you find something that God can use in your life and ministry.
