Watch on Vimeo: Generations – Sara
Bryan Zhang has created his third video for the Generations series, which highlights college students who have been impacted by the discipleship of a student or staff in The Navigators. In this video Sara deLeon, a senior at FSU, shares how she was influenced by the discipleship of Lauren Paxton.
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.
You can listen to this message online (embedded below, also available here), plus even more messages by me, other staff, and our student leaders on the FSU Navigators Podcast.
Watch on ESPN: The Big Finish (October 24, 2011)
ESPN’s sports debate show Pardon the Interruption first aired on Oct 22, 2001. It’s been one of my favorite shows ever since. I don’t have cable in my home anymore, but I still keep up with the show through its podcast. Yesterday was their first show since the ten-year anniversary. The video above shows the celebration at the end of the show.
The podcast is back after an unplanned hiatus. Today I talk about planning my upcoming trip to Kentucky, both for the Navigators National Conference and my writing retreat.
I still haven’t been able to fix the Facebook audio player integration. Maybe I’ll find time this week to tackle that project.

You’re going to have to get in the WABAC machine for this one. Each spring all the campus ministries at FSU come together for an event called Rez Week (short for Resurrection Week) just before or just after Easter. In 2004 the FSU Navigators worship team led worship at one of the Rez Week corporate meetings. Those songs were recorded by the Wesley Foundation (where Rez Week was held in ’04) and two of those songs were made available online. I saved them to my computer and forgot about them until I stumbled across the files last night. I have to admit, I was pretty excited by the discovery.
The Navigators at Florida State University held its second annual Urban Barn Dance last night. It’s a fun event for our students and something to which they can easily invite their friends. I took lots of photos, as did one of our students who had my camera for part of the evening.
I’m really excited about The Navigators National Conference coming up in November. If you’re attending, or if you just want to see what all the fuss is about, here are a few ways to get you ready for the event.
In this week’s episode I talk about what has been called by people wiser than me “the tyranny of the urgent.” Essentially it refers to when deadlines crowd out the things that are really important to you. I have a plan to combat the problem.
Wouldn’t you know it. As soon as I brag about my fancy Facebook audio player I find out that Facebook changed the Open Graph protocol such that my code no longer produce the player. Ugh.

This is one of those apps that doesn’t get much attention but I think it should. Back in August Facebook released an app for iPhone and Android called Messenger. It is a dedicated app for the Facebook messaging system. Maybe you’re wondering why anyone would possibly want an app that could perform only one feature, especially when each of these platforms has a perfectly good app that is fully featured.
Here’s the main reason I really like this app: I don’t have to enter into the rest of the Facebook universe to check my Facebook messages. Messenger will not show you if you have any other notifications awaiting your attention. This is a great thing! How many times have you gone into Facebook just to check a message, only to find that there was lots of other activity that “needed” your attention? Yeah, all the time, right? This app lets you communicate back and forth with friends without risk of distraction.

I recorded this episode yesterday but didn’t have time to post it until today. In this episode I talk about the Navigators staff meeting I’m attending in Ocala, Florida this week. Specifically, I speak about how I hope to be a team player again instead of a loner in terms of how I approach college ministry.
