Challenging Normal

What were you doing a year ago today? 365 days ago I preached to the students of Stockbridge Assembly for the first time. The next day Pastor Steven made it official and brought us on staff as the Youth Pastors. A lot has happened in a year, here are some of my favorite memories:

Hosted The Blizzard, a winter outreach night where we saw over 100 students in service and several make decisions to live for God.

Went ice skating in Centennial Park in 20 degree weather and then hiked through downtown to go shopping at Underground Atlanta.

Broom Ball! First time I played and scored the first goal. Lost this year, but better watch out for us next year.

Played flag football during a snow storm while on Spring Break.

Hosted Rock Star Night, a spring outreach night. We played Guitar Hero, ate tons of pizza and saw record crowds.

We have seen Thrive more than double in the last year.

We have made lifelong friendships and have met some of the most awesome people in the world.

We have seen God change and transform dozens of students' lives.

The last year has truly been one of the most awesome years of our lives and ministry. We know that God has a lot more in store for us and we are very excited about it. Buckle up, it is going to be a fun ride and the best is yet to come!
