Risky Business

Happy almost Valentine’s Day to you. In today’s episode I talk about the risks of publishing something personal when you know it will be read by people who know you well.

The audio quality on this episode is much better because I used Quicktime instead of my iPhone. I should probably do that more often.

Feats of Daring: Kyle Hettema

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.

Zack’s Broccoli Birthday Cake

My roommate Zack just celebrated his 26th birthday yesterday. My friend Tyler and I put together a surprise birthday party for him. Zack is a total health nut and would never eat an actual cake. So in an effort to honor him on his birthday we put a bunch of broccoli in a baking pan, then stuck 26 candles in it. He couldn’t stop laughing.

The Sequel

It’s a great day for podcasting! In this week’s episode I talk about the two-part message series I’m teaching for the students of the FSU Navigators. I gave the first message last Thursday. Now I have the challenge of creating a compelling sequel, which I’ll teach this coming Thursday.

Links from this episode:

  • Part one of the message series will be online soon. I’ll update this post with the link once it is.
  • The FSU Navigators Podcast is pretty sweet. Messages and testimonies from staff, students, and guest speakers. It has a Facebook page too.
  • Recordings of several of my Nav Night messages are available online if you’re interested.
  • Shaun and Sara are the reason so many people missed my first talk. Congratulations to the happy couple, who got married this past Saturday!

Non-Negotiables

Happy MLK Day! In today’s episode I talk about how we all have personal non-negotiables, things we choose to hang on to no matter what the cost. I’ve found that I often choose my non-negotiables without careful consideration. That lack of intentional decision-making can lead to trouble.

You’ve Got Mailbox

If you follow me on Twitter or if you’re my friend on Facebook you likely know I’m a property manager for a few rentals in Tallahassee. You probably know that because I’m often complaining about how the job seems to interrupt my life at seemingly the most inoppertune times. Back in November the job tried to interrupt me again, except I wasn’t in the state.

The Ebb and Flow of Faith

Well it’s about time. In this episode I talk about how circumstances, especially traumatic one, affect our beliefs. I illustrate the point with an old Chris Rice song and an excerpt from a book by Elizabeth Elliot.

Ironically enough Chris Rice’s record label is Eb+Flo Records.
