Student ministry should model the heart of Jesus in all aspects. His response was not the kind of condemnation to sinners, but of compassion for their souls. Every aspect of student ministry should push students toward genuine repentance and faith in Christ.

2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:2-4. The truth is that God has not abandoned you or me during trials and pain. He is allowing it to refine us into a humble, moldable and devoted person to Christ. Instead of sinking into depression of continually asking the question, "why me?" I pray that the question can change into, "how do I use this for God?" It takes endurance to walk with Christ. God's grace is not fully experienced until we are weak. "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9

Students are back in school this week and it seems to only get busier. Looking forward to a new school year. Here are some highlights of the past week!

- I was able to baptize three good friends - excited about God has in store for their lives!
- My wife, Cassidy has a new job at Eagle Eye outfitters. It's a great Christian business.

- I plan on being done with seminary this December. I pray that will be it for me.
- My wife, Cassidy fixed up my blog today for me! She is awesome at tech stuff.
