Kansas Event

As promised, here are my notes from the event that I spoke at in Kansas today.  To all of you who were there, I really had a great time!  Thanks so much for hosting me.  I hope it was beneficial to you.  Please be in touch if I or our team at Threads can serve you in the future.  I have attached a pdf version of my notes.  You'll quickly see that they aren't pretty, but they should provide you with any information that you missed.  Also, be reminded that most of what I shared today (plus much more) can be found in my new book, Lost and Found.  You can buy it HERE or in a bookstore near you.  Some of the research is also found HERE.

Also, please check out the Threads site HERE.  Look around for helpful articles, information on our resources, and much more.  If you desire to subscribe to our weekly newsletter, you can do that HERE.

Finally, my new study, Blemished, that I referenced to today can be found HERE.

Now, Download What Matters To Young Adults - expanded for the pdf.  If you've stopped by and snagged it, I'd love to hear from you in the comments section.  Thanks, again!  Blessings.

Nugget

Below is a nugget for you to chew on today that I pulled from Blemished.  Do you agree?

 

We wouldn’t dare treat people how we often treat God.

Headlines

Cool to see our research team at LifeWay make the headline in USA Today this week.  They are good folks  that I love partnering alongside.  Check out the front page article HERE and another article that was released this week HERE.

Q&A Journey Continues ... "Ben Arment"

I launched my shady blog tour of Blemished a few weeks ago  You can see my explanation for doing this at the beginning of THIS post.  Thus far, we've been grateful to talk with Pete Wilson and Ed Stetzer.  You can see their interviews HERE and HERE.  This week, however, we have a new "interviewer."   Ben might have one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know.  Outside of being a great guy, he also serves as the Experience & Innovation Director at Catalyst and is the founder of The Whiteboard Sessions.  He's a former church planter and all around brilliant guy.  Thanks so much to "Ben Arment" and to my good friend, the real Ben Arment.

Watch Online

Check out our evening Beach Reach services at 7 pm CST.  Watch it HERE or go to THIS page for even more cool things to check out. 

Beach Reach

I'll be speaking all week at this amazing event.  Check it out HERE.  Without a doubt, this is one of the purest forms of serving the lost that I've ever been a part of.  It's also one of the most intense.  The spiritual warfare is real and obvious.  I'm so grateful for our team and to be a part of this ministry.  I won't be posting often this week, but I will try to Tweet it the best I can.  We'd greatly appreciate your prayers. 

Sho Baraka

I love hearing the story of new Threads' friend, Sho Baraka. Check out this video from our Red Revolution study.

Preaching To The Younger Unchurched

Check out the article HERE that I wrote with Ed Stetzer for Sermon Central, the largest on-line community of pastors in the world.  They asked us to specifically discuss our book, Lost and Found, and our findings about teaching/preaching to the younger unchurched.  You can comment here with your thoughts or you can go to Ed's blog for discussion, too.
