A great quote…

i love quotes.  simple inspiration.  i  want to give you a few quotes by brian houston, the lead pastor of hillsong in australia.  short.  to the point.  riveting.  a challenge to the heart.  here’s the first one:

“Our youth group is our biggest nursery for leadership!”

man…i love that quote.  developing strong leadership is job that starts young.  it has been my honor to work with young people my whole life.  it is awesome to watch kids grow into strong, committed christ followers and use their lives to influence others.  that’s leadership.

i got invited to come and help out at underground (our sunday night youth thing) last sunday.  it was fun.  i loved seeing the looks in their eyes.  i loved watching them laugh and think and question and especially when the light bulbs went on in their heads…and hearts.  

i had a lot of feelings that came to the surface sunday evening.

the most important one is that our youth ministry is in good hands.  so is the immediate future of our church family.
