C3 Conference Updates

Currently I'm sitting in Fellowship Churches C3 run thru for the opening service tonight.  Many of our COTM Staff Members are good friends with the Fellowship Church staff and they were kind enough to invite us behind the scenes for an inside look.  They just ran thru a video and it looks incredible!  

This Conference is going to be first class.

For those of you who for whatever reason did not travel to Dallas, I'll be giving some updates, photos and my view of what is going on here at the Conference.

Stay tuned ...if you'd like.

Getting great feedback.

 

Over the past month or so I've been getting some great feedback on the What do I do when? book series that I wrote.  Specifically this book on sex, love and dating.   

There are youth pastors using the book as a catalyst of ideas for their February teaching series on Dating. 

I've gotten reports from youth pastors using it as the content for there small group ministries. 

Many youth ministries are giving it away as gifts to first time visitors this month, during their teaching series on sex, love and dating.

And I've also received some emails from parents and students who just enjoyed reading it.

I loved writing this book, but I love even more that it is getting used all over the country to help teenagers stay within the physical lines that God has drawn for them.

Lookin for Love

Each and every day parents try to convince themselves that their teenager is still 5 years old and the only thing they’re interested in is Barney, Barbie Dolls and playing with Legos.

But the truth of the matter is, around the age of 13 a change occurs.

Their little darlings mind starts to expand and explore. They become interested in other things, and one of those things is the opposite sex.

Now even the thought of that to most parents is like finger nails going down a chalk board. Not their child.  There is no way that their “little one” is into the opposite sex yet.

Well as a father of two teenagers and a guy who’s been working with students for over seventeen years, let me just say that if you think your teenager is not crushing on the opposite sex…think again because they are.

Teenagers are ready to get the relational road trip started and you know what, there’s nothing wrong with that.  It’s completely natural. The issues come when they start driving down the dating highway too soon, they get off on some dangerous roads, or they have the wrong person in the car with them.

As parents whether we like it or not, our teenagers have a ton of questions about sex, love, and dating. That’s why in our Wednesday Junior Varsity venue we are doing a teaching series called LOOKIN FOR LOVE.

During this series we are going to take a long look at scripture and answer some of the toughest and most common questions students about the opposite sex.

Here is the break down of this four-week series.

Week One: What do I do when my parents won’t let me date?

Week Two: I’ve been crushing on this person for a while but they don’t know I exist?

Week Three: I asked my “crush” out and they said yes, what do I do now?

Week Four:   Q and A, where I’ll tackle teenagers top 10 questions on love and dating.

This is going to be an incredible series.  Each week not only will we answer these four questions, we will also allow students to text in questions they have on this topic and answer them at the end of the service.
