I know you are out there…

by: Brent LacyPosted on: September 15, 2011September 15, 2011

I know you are out there. Maybe You are a Youth Worker that has been told you are too young/old/boring/playful/whatever to effectively serve in youth ministry. Maybe you have been sucked into church politics without even knowing it and you are now paying the price. Maybe you’ve been bullied by […]

The “They Don’t Get Me” Syndrome…

by: Brent LacyPosted on: September 2, 2011

I have been serving in Youth Ministry for a while. I have not been around as long as some, but in 12 years you can see a lot happen. I have been noticing a trend lately I am going to call the “they don’t get me” syndrome. It’s a dangerous […]

Random Video Post…

I was praying this morning for the local Crisis Pregnancy Center that is trying to get its start-up funding, and this video came to mind… Enjoy.

Rural Ministry: The County Fair…

by: Brent LacyPosted on: July 24, 2011March 8, 2012

A wonderful, yet challenging part of Rural Ministry is the County Fair. Ours is this week. A week full of Demo Derbies, Tractor and Truck Pulls, Animal Showings, Riding, Roping, and even ATV Drag Races!!! Wow. I will see a lot of people from our county of 18,000 people. Politicians, Businesspeople, and Organizations […]

Rethinking the typical.

Rethinking the typical.

by: Brent LacyPosted on: July 19, 2011February 10, 2012

I was in a meeting today that helped confirm a lot of what I have been thinking and reading about the “millennial generation” (largely those born between 1980-1991). While there are varied experiences based on the context you are dealing with (such as urban vs. rural ministry), I am finding […]

The “Certified Redneck Pastor”…

by: Brent LacyPosted on: July 17, 2011July 17, 2011

My sister sent me this today. It is funny for a number of reasons. 1) I know well the Pastor being “honored” (He was my pastor for a number of years while I was growing up) 2) I know he can take it in good humor. 3) I know it […]

Good or Great?

by: Brent LacyPosted on: June 26, 2011June 26, 2011

It’s easy to chart what you need to do to improve your church. It is exponentially harder to actually accomplish it. On paper it may look easy to hit those milestones and measures, but when you throw in the personalities and agendas of all involved, things can get quite messy. […]

Worldview Academy.

by: Brent LacyPosted on: June 19, 2011

I am not a big “Camp” Youth Pastor. I do not often do camps, especially big, expensive ones. I am used to taking students to small, local camps, usually run by a local Baptist Association. In fact, that is what I am doing this year with the majority of my […]

Book Review: The Sword of the Lord: The Roots of Fundamentalism in an American Family

by: Brent LacyPosted on: June 7, 2011

I have been working on this review in various forms of drafts and notes for about a month and a half now.  I don’t often accept offers and open blog posts to do Pre-Release book reviews, but I liked the potential this book brought to the table. Why this book? […]

An Interesting View of Evangelism..

by: Brent LacyPosted on: June 2, 2011June 3, 2011

I am reading and preparing notes for a review of the book – “The Sword of The Lord” by Andrew Himes and I ran across the following quote from Andrew’s Grandfather, John R Rice that he printed in “The Sword of The Lord” newspaper in 1954…. “There is a wicked, […]

Book reviews coming….

by: Brent LacyPosted on: May 31, 2011

I have two book reviews cooking right now. They are closely related. One is new, one is fairly old, but they present two views on fundamentalist Christianity in America. It’s been interesting, to say the least.

How do you respond to Joplin, MO?

by: Brent LacyPosted on: May 25, 2011

We’ve seen the pictures, we know the stories, but how do we respond as a community of believers? What is your Church/Ministry doing to support the efforts? I cannot imagine the devastation they have there. I cannot imagine what it is like to live there, or to lose someone in this tragedy. Red […]
