Why blog?

I wanted to create a site of some sort that would allow me to get a little bit deeper with students in the ministry. I look at this site as an opporunity for me to share some of the thoughts that I have about God, the Bible, and life in general. This is also a great place for me to handle some of the theological questions that some of our students have. Our messages in the small groups will very rarely involve a lot of "theological heavy lifting," as Cam likes to say. But sometimes we need to hunker down and really examine the evidence and arguments for and against the things we believe. Occassionally the best way to deepen our faith is to find out that there really are answers to the tough questions. Questions about violence, politics, racism, relationships, drugs... This blog will be that place.

So check in every once in a while. I'll post up on facebook, twitter, etc when there is new stuff on the blog.

And on a side note, I hope every Element student understands how excited I am about this ministry. I have little doubt that God has called me to lead and love high school students. There is nothing I'd rather be doing.
