The Fun Theory

Have you ever heard of The Fun Theory? It is a awesome website with making life more fun than it currently is. For example, I just saw this video of how they changed a staircase in Stockholm into a piano in order to see if more commuters would take the stairs over the escalator…it worked. [...]

Campus Ministry vs. Church College Ministry

Lately I’ve been thinking about Church vs. Campus Ministry… let me explain.

Unemployed college students

Working with college students helps me see trends in the world. One of which is the economy.

How to start a movement

How do you start a movement? Over at Ragamuffin Soul Carlos Whittaker talks about 7 steps to creating a movement. Along with it is an incredible video of a guy dancing by himself in the most awkward way possible (think Elaine from Seinfeld) but then starting a giant dance party. Check it out here.

Awkward Questions

Do you ever wonder what kids are thinking when you have a theological discussion? This has to be one of the funniest videos that puts my thoughts to words. I would love to ask these questions to someone like the Pope!

Digital Natives

Digital Natives is a term being used for people under the age of 30. I just make it into this realm but am not sure if I totally fit the profile. A post by Scott M. talks about how they/we think and react. This generation is definitely different to previous ones in values, communication, expectations [...]
