Wouldn’t it be great if there was a Connection Algorithm like Sheldon’s that would help you connect a girl to the student ministry or a girls lifegroup? I remember the first day on the job as a girlsminister. Such an algorithm would have been very handy. It was our fall retreat! I was surrounded by

Today I’m featuring video interview #3 in my on-going series of interviews that deal with the subject matter of working with guys on church staff.

I just finished reading a book called: My Teenage Werewolf: A Mother, a Daughter, a Journey Through the Thicket of Adolescence by Lauren Kessler It was a very interesting read.
