Tourney Challenge Update (Sweet 16)

If you haven’t checked out the brackets Mr. Yates is in the lead with Mr. Sanders (or Mrs. Sanders I don’t really know B. Sanders and I guess it is sort of sexist of me to assume that B. Sanders is a man, so if you really are Betty Sanders or Brenda Sanders please don’t be upset with me anyway, I was saying that Mr. Yates was in the lead with Mr. Sanders…) bringing up a close second.

Of course as of right now, my “real” entry (the one that I didn’t choose Belmont or Murray State to win in) has the highest possible point total by 10 points (add the possible left with the current total and I am ahead of Mr. Goins by 10 points) So I still have hope!

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.

    You are correct in assuming I’m a man. My name is Brad. You e-mailed me last night too by the way, but anyway B. Sanders is Brad.

    I am the worlds worst at putting together different bits of information into a whole picture. I would be a terrible detective. Glad to put the name with the bracket. Thanks!

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.
