My son was three years old when this video was shot. His preschool Sunday school class taught him how to tell others how to follow Jesus. It’s amazing how much a child can understand when it comes to spiritual matters. Many kids will be eternally grateful for having people teach them this well. Thanks to all of you who serve in your local church with kids! The investment in kids is the best investment you can make.

One of my favorite thinking spots is this waterfall hike I used to frequent near Redding, CA. The mile straight uphill was always worth the climb to the cool falls and stream. Contemplation is important, indeed. I am still looking for a new thinking spot since this photo was taken so maybe you can help me out with some ideas.
What’s your favorite place to go to think?

Do we lead worship to impress or engage people to life change? Leading worship is actually part of any pastor’s heart if we look at it that way.
As worship leaders we provide a safe place to meet God. We design experiences that are based biblically on truth, decoding the culture while engaging people in drawing nearer to God.
What do you think: is worship leading pastoring or something else?
