written on their hearts: a sermon on a reading from jeremiah 31
the reading Jeremiah 31:31-34 The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to bring them out...

7 key nicene and post-nicene fathers [INFOGRAPHIC]
The time around, and shortly after, the Council of Nicaea in 325 was a wild time for Christianity. The Roman Emperor Constantine legalized Christianity in 313 through the Edict of Milan, and eventually made it the official state religion of the Roman Empire. Finally,...
take up your cross: a sermon on a reading from mark 8
the reading Mark 8:31-38 Jesus began to teach his disciples that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. He said all this quite openly. And Peter...

The Reading Mark 1:21-28 Jesus and his disciples went to Capernaum; and when the sabbath came, he entered the synagogue and taught. They were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. Just then there was in their...

Don't all religions really just point to the same god? It's easy to see why...

I had the opportunity to represent the @stedwardsepiscopal youth group today for the high school`s theater group as they did their Gratitude of the Stage event, which they hold during the week before their big performances.
I had the opportunity to come feed them and then share with them on the topic of gratitude and thankfulness.
After I shared, they took turns blessing and sharing gratitude for each other and others who have supported and/or inspired them.
And dude... it was inspiring to watch these youth pour out their hearts to one another. I loved seeing them be there for each other and the impact those relationships has had on their lives.
I`m already looking forward to the next one, and being there as a support and resource for those kids!

So I know that there are a TON of #hurricanemilton cleanup posts getting out there, but I just gotta say that that I`m so proud of our youth...
They went beast mode on the cleanup efforts at the church today. And so many of them WANTED to be out there to clean up (when they could have had a relaxing Saturday morning on devices/screens). 💪
Their desire to serve is one of the big things that keeps me fired up about serving and training them in how to be great Christians who make a difference in the world around them.

@ bibledude . Oct 6
We`re starting a new Wednesday night #kidsministry program at @stedwardsepiscopal around a read aloud through the Narnia books, and we`re using a GREAT resource from friend @christinditchfield to guide our discussions.
We`ll read the stories, discuss biblical truths, and work in some other cool activities to help us experience the stories fun ways.
This is open to ALL children and youth. It`ll be fun for the younger ones, and the older (youth group aged) ones will be helping engage the younger ones. All of this is happening while the grown-ups hang out in the church`s ABC (Adult Bible Conversations).
Starts Oct 16th!

So my youth group pulled off an awesome surprise party for me today! And they had me wear the cool, funky birthday hat, the "birthday princess" sash, and a special wand... so I had to roll with it...
They also hooked me up with my favorite... key lime pie!
And they even got my age right by regularly mentioning that I`m now *cough cough* years old (the way I always tell them my age, LOL).
Definitely a fun day, and I love that had so much fun doing that for me. Seeing their joy in it all was the BEST! I love this group SO much!

The second half(ish) of the New Beginnings youth retreat...
The growth we`ve seen in so many of these kids over the weekend is inspiring! They fire me up to be a better Christian and to go strong in the faith.
I`m also proud to be able to work alongside so many other great leaders, and feel like we all just make each other better.
It`s great being able to do #youtministry in the @cfdiocese! We`re really making a difference in the lives of this next generation!

Halfway through the Saturday of the New Beginnings youth retreat, and it`s cool to see how these kids are digging deep and connecting with each other. Later today, we start moving more into connecting with God.

When Mr. Dan teaches Sunday school with the kids using "The Flood" adventure from @storymakersnyc...
The kids have such a great time acting out these stories and playing to experience the ideas we discuss.
SO much fun! Who wants to join us?

My new piece at cfdiocese.org...
It`s about #soulinthecity2024, which is the annual Summer mission experience we do with our youth from across the @cfdiocese. We had a great group there from @stedwardsepiscopal, along with several other incredible students and youth leaders.
I love being part of such great ministry work, but I really appreciate having the opportunity to tell the story about the work being done.

A Message From Dan
What does it look like to live a Christian life? Like, TRULY live a Christian life? If I’m honest, I’m over the fake front of being a happy, blessed, and perfect person in order to impress others. Truth is, I’m a sinner who’s just trying to figure out how to do this without looking like an absolute fool. I think the Christian life is about admitting our brokenness, while raising our hand to say,”Here I am Lord! What would You have me do?” And that’s what this blog is all about… just a dude trying to do the best I can, and maybe hoping that you’re stumbling through the same journey. Maybe we can walk together.
