Ministry

Blog posts on my ministry endeavors with The Navigators at Florida State University and Wildwood Church in Tallahassee.

Defined by the Gospel

My church created this video describing the basic elements of the Gospel of Jesus, paying special attention to its impact on our identity.

Big ups to Nastasia Humphries for putting together such a killer video.

Nav Night Messages by Josh Pratt and Kyle Hettema

Josh and Kyle are both first-year staff for the FSU Navigators through the EDGE Corps program. This semester they each taught at Nav Night for the first time. Recordings of those talks have been added to the FSU Navigators Podcast. I thought I’d share them with you because they both did such a good job.

Stuff Nav Girls Really Say

Apparently we had it wrong. It turns out this is what Nav girls actually say.

Oh, and the bit between 5:59 and 6:19? Yeah, about that…

After watching the video for the first time I couldn’t leave well enough alone.

Stuff Nav Girls Say

First a few of our guys in the FSU Navigators made a video inviting the ladies in the ministry to the annual Valentine’s Banquet, called Stuff Nav Guys Say. So, naturally, the men created Stuff Nav Girls Say and played it at the banquet itself. Once again, there’s a lot of inside jokes that only our Navs will understand but it’s still a fun video. Well, I think it’s a fun video. I’m not sure how the women felt about it.

Stuff Nav Guys Say

To get the ladies of the FSU Navigators excited about the upcoming Valentine’s Banquet a few of the guys made a fun video lampooning some of the things the typical Nav guy says and does. Yeah, there’s a lot of inside jokes specific to the current students, but anyone who’s ever been around a collegiate Navs ministry will see things they recognize.

The same guys also created Stuff Nav Girls Say, a video they played at the banquet itself.

External LinkMessages from Ignite 2012

Drew Frazer gave three great messages at Ignite 2012, the spring conference for the collegiate Navigators in the Florida region. They were recorded and are now available online for streaming and download.

Nav Night Message Series on Idolatry

Back in January I got to do something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Kyle Kozloski and the rest of the FSU Navigators staff team let me teach two Nav Night messages in back-to-back weeks on the same subject. During the Christmas holiday Kyle and I both took time to consider what topic I ought to teach. Earlier in the fall semester I’d told Kyle how I’d spent most of 2011 reading the Old Testament during my time alone with God each day, and that during that time it seemed as if every other day God had something to say to me about idolatry. Kyle called me up late in December and asked me to teach on the subject. I’d been leaning in that direction myself and eagerly accepted. And so began a crazy month of condensing an entire year’s worth of learning into two forty-minute talks.

You can listen to both messages online (embedded below) plus even more messages by me, other staff, and our student leaders on the FSU Navigators Podcast.

Videos from The Navigators National Conference 2011

Back in November of this year was The Navigators National Conference. I attended and got to see some amazing speakers during the plenary sessions. I’d like to share videos of those sessions with you.

Nav Night Message: Fellowship

On October 13 I had the privilege of teaching the students of the FSU Navigators for the first time this semester. Each fall our ministry teaches a six-week series on the Wheel Illustration. Last year I contributed a message on prayer. This year Kyle, our campus director, asked if I would speak on fellowship. I had never taught in a large-group setting on the subject, not specifically anyway, and was eager for the opportunity.
