Pokemon Go released this week and is not only fun and brilliantly nostalgic but if used well, it can help us improve physically, mentally and in evangelization.
How Pokemon Go can help you improve physically, mentally and evangelistically
Go Forth I Will Be With You (Audio)
A sending forth for those who work or volunteer in ministry. We walk through the stories in Scripture of many who were called and sent to share the good news of the Father. We also look at the beginning of Ad Gentes, the Vatican II document on missionary activity and what it means for those called and sent by God into ministry. We end with the overwhelming list of the promises of God that He is always with us.
If you need some encouragement in your ministry, give this a listen.
God Demonstrates His Love (Audio)
This is an audio recording of a session from a youth minister staff training in which I speak on how God demonstrates his love for us. Using Romans 5:8 and the lyrics of the song, "God Demonstrates His Love" by Harvest, I walk through how God has show his love for me in the depths of my sin. God wants to share his mercy and healing with you through this message.
Share Your Presents
Almost every gift is made better when the experience of the gift can be shared with others. So often, we want to receive the gift of mercy from the Father but struggle to share that gift with the ones around us. Tune in to this audio clip as we explore two of Jesus' parables that shed light on what God is calling us to do in sharing His mercy.
