I am a student ministries pastor and this book has the power to help and aid me in teaching the word of God. Although I see things through pastor’s eyes this book is a much needed tool for professors, pastors, theologians, and even lay people.

I would highly recommend this book for you. Go and get it today, you will be glad you did.

I typed the following thing only using 2 snippets. (7 letters Total)

Christ did not die so that we might live…..
Christ died so we might die…..
“How’s that whole dying thing going for you?”

So here is the question how am i dying and being impacted by Jesus death. All to often we seem to rush over the cross, but what is we stopped and let the whole idea of his death disturb us. I think when we rush over it we make it common place and ordinary. But it is more then ordinary, it was powerful and impacting. The two verses that have been ruining me are the following

I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.²Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God.
Revelation 3:1b-2
“‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. ⁷They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.’
Mark 7:6b-7

So with this my prayer is God help me to die to self and live out the example Jesus has set for me. God help me to grow. Ruin Me! Ignite a passion in my heart to live out your example and let me leave the rules taught by men.

I am still working through this and praying for God to move. Thanks Brad for the challenging Question it is ruining me, and it is great.

So my 3 year old. He apparently loves the song, “Single Ladies”, by Beyonce. Little did I know how much he loves that song. I was simply making a point that he, in fact, is not a single lady. I thought he would laugh and keep singing. Man, was I wrong. Notice Sohaila, my
oldest daughter, in the center seat.

As you navigate TheFiftyTwo you’ll notice three other tabs besides Plan52: Leadership, Sermon/Small Groups, and Applications.

• The Leadership tab gives you a plethora of leadership tips, ideas and resources to help you grow as an individual and in your youth ministry. Some of these will also prove helpful in training your youth staff.
• The Sermon/Small Group tab contains 56 sermons, 56 coordinating small group lessons, and 56 slide presentations in PowerPoint. Every sermon, small group connect and slide presentation can be worked with in order to make it more personal and fit your youth ministry.
• The Application tab contains program and product apps to equip you with the tools necessary to win, build and send youth. Here you’ll find product descriptions and strategies that allow you as the leader to bring application to your plan. In addition, you will find an Other Resources tool bar, which will highlight several other current Apps for your use.

I believe this is great for volunteer youth workers, as time is a limited commodity in their ministry. I have a code for TheFiftyTwo that I would like to give away to a leader that would like it. I will give it away to some that comments to this post before 8pm. Check out the release video below;

“Dad am i six. (Dad said YES) Man I don’t feel six, nothing changed”

With that in mind; “Am I Ordained, I don’t feel ordained, nothings changed!”

“Anxiety is nothing but repeatedly re-experiencing failure in advance. What a waste.”

I have been reading “Linchpin” the new book of Seth Godin and this quote really has had me thinking in the last few weeks. I saw this over at Michael Hyatt’s Blog you should check it out here.
