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,...

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

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.

My first deacon stole just arrived from @bigmamastoles, and it`s spectacular!
I`m still humbled that all of this is happening, and I look forward to wearing this on my ordination day (should be set soon).
It`s been quite the journey, and I can`t wait to step out in this new ministry role... especially this this sweet thing over my shoulder!

We just had a really cool prayer and worship night with the youth at @stedwardsepiscopal with a few other friends from other (Episcopal and non-Episcopal) churches. 🙌
The Lord`s Prayer was the focus of the evening. We had worship music led by the UH-MAY-ZING @_amyyyates and the prayer station experience and lesson led by @bibledude.
The goal of the experience was to immerse then into each of the 7 petitions in the Lord`s Prayer. 🙏 Several of the youth shared with me how particular stations/petitions really hit home for them during this event.
We really have an incredible group of young people who are learning and growing in Christ in so many awesome ways!
Thank you, Lord for showing up in these kids lives!

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.
