The Life of a Jet Setting Youth Minister
Considering this is my personal blog I rarely talk about my personal life. I refer to things happening here and there, but it’s a rare occasion to have an entire post dedicated to something I’m doing. The reason for this is simple: this isn’t that kind of blog. I don’t write about my day-to-day life. I write about things that interest me and we go from there. But today I’m giving you a rare treat, a look into my work life.
I am a youth minister and have been lucky enough to attend a number of conferences in exotic locations over the years. I’ve been to the National Youth Workers Convention in Nashville and Charlotte, drove in the snow at Shift in Chicago, met cool people at the Perkins School of Youth Ministry in Dallas and, as you read this, am checking out the National Youth Ministry Convention in Columbus.
This is the first time I’ve been to the National Youth Ministry Convention, so I don’t really know what I’m getting myself into. Though based on the other conventions and conferences, I know there will be interesting sessions, cool speakers, nice worship, free stuff and most likely good food.
I’ve been very blessed to be working at a church that can afford to send me to these various cool places and I always come back with a since of renewal and a boat load of ideas. Since I’m writing this prior to actually arriving in Columbus, it’s hard to give any first hand reports, but should the convention have wi-fi, maybe I’ll post a few pictures or thoughts.
