Why do I write?
First things first. I pray that you had a tremendous holiday filled with joy from being with family and friends. I did. I was so excited to get back to the midwest to see family. We celebrated the birth of our Savior. We mourned the loss of my wife’s grandmother. We ate WAY to much food. Followed shortly by the desire to be back home again in Tennessee. Life is good. Glad to be back at work waking up everyday thinking about how to best help the Church reach the middle and high school Campus for Christ.
Now back to my question: Why do I write?
Because I feel like the goal of First Priority, the ministry I am a part of, is missing in America. We have segregated the generations and are suffering because of it. Retirees are thinking golf and nothingness after 65 will be bliss only to find that without human connection and purpose, life is dismal. Teens are put in a building with primarily other teens and left on Friday night to their own wandering thoughts and ideas. It is time to connect the Church to the Campus for Christ. Students are looking for Hope. That is a spiritual destination that an anti-bullying or gun control or don’t do drugs school assembly cannot answer. We have taken the conversation about God out of schools that only the church can legally bring back. Students need to hear about Jesus. They need to learn how to have faith in life. We need to bring them joy through relationship. I want as many people in as many churches to join in this movement as possible to connect to students and change the climate of our culture for generations to come. It is what gets me going each and every morning. That is why I write.
