with the wide variety of stuff i’m doing these days (speaking, writing, consulting, coaching), i knew it would be helpful to have a website to point people to. there have just been too many times in the last few months where i didn’t have a communication tool other than my blog or email, in order [...]
here’s my updated speaking schedule for the rest of 2010 (this doesn’t include consulting travel, ymcp stuff, or personal travel, so there are many other dates i’m not available). as you can see, i’m pretty full through may, but still have a shockingly empty summer, and plenty of space in the fall also. if you [...]

sorry (a little) for the quantity of these this week; but i’m a bit behind in posting them… i’ve been blown away by the number of blog reviews youth ministry 3.0 continues to receive. really, very humbled. but a few of them stand out. and this is one of them — written by Alaina Kleinbeck, [...]
