It has been over a year since I started at Agape Baptist church and I have been cooling my heels and regrouping myself spiritually. However, on Valentine’s Day this week, I went back to that church to attend the wedding of two of my former students. One of those students is the one who told […]

Yo Hablo Español Un Poco

Hello friends! I am excited to tell you that God has led me to a new ministry opportunity in my home church of Northwest Baptist Church, OKC. I have been working rather actively in the Children’s Ministry with the 3 year olds and that’s been fun but now a new ministry has been placed in […]

Changing Tides

It has been some time since I was able to update this blog with anything substantial and although I don’t like the fact that it happened, it was a necessary evil. Simply put, the world as I know it has been in a constant state of flux ever since I started this quest for ministry […]

The Onset of August

Written on August 23, 2010 – 11:18 am | by dave |

August, the ‘work month’ has led to several things happening in my life both physical and spiritual. It is certainly the time of the year when things start getting busier. My child started Kindergarten, and I started seminary. But it doesn’t end there, read on. Seminary Starts Today marks my first day back to seminary […]

Internal Compass Spinning

Written on July 27, 2010 – 10:50 am | by dave |

It has been almost two months since I returned from my vacation and thusly started Sundays without being a pastor. I am not entirely sure how to explain this feeling as it is so multifaceted that only a few words used in description would cheapen it. First and foremost, I feel like I am somewhat of a failure […]

Adventures in church visitation

Written on June 18, 2010 – 12:04 pm | by dave |

Now that the vacation time is over, I am in the process of trying to get back into some sense of balance. One of the first things I wanted to do now that I have had cool down time is to visit some local churches that are closer to us than our old home church […]

My Resignation as a Youth Pastor: A Lesson in Spiritual Leadership

Written on June 10, 2010 – 2:18 pm | by dave |

As of June 4, 2010, I am no longer serving as a youth pastor for Agape Baptist Church. I actually made my public resignation on May 26, 2010 but set the end date to be June 4, 2010 because that would allow me time to easily transition the reigns to a new leader. What happens […]

The Super Update

It has been quite some time since I last had the change to update my ministry blog but this is just a testament to how busy my life and God’s ministry has been for me as of late. After laboring for a full year of intense studying while trying to strike a balance between my […]

Coming Soon – Monthly Sermons from Me

I cannot express the sheer amount of excitement I have in my heart and soul for an event that I was just informed of. It seems as though Brother Andy, the lead pastor of my church and a few of the elders have taken quite a shine to my perf0rmance as of late. I was […]

I am Licensed!

Written on February 16, 2010 – 12:44 am | by dave |

This is a cool update that I can’t explain my excitement over. I officially received my licensure from the church on 2/14/10… Valentine’s Day! It seems only fitting that it was the same day that my daughter was dedicated at the church. We were a bit apprehensive about going to a small church but so […]
