November


Hello friends,

Man, God has been so good this month!

The last few weeks have been full of his grace and provision, so I want to take some time to celebrate with y'all!

First of all we had our fall pizza theology a few weeks ago. We had Bill Watson from Criswell Seminary. He talked about the story of the Bible. Basically giving the students a more in depth look at the total narrative that God reveals to us in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. It was such a good way for us to think deeply about the way that God has worked throughout that story, and what part of the story we're in now. Thinking about this gives us such a good idea of how we can be faithful to what God is doing now. I love getting chances for us to learn more about the Old Testament as well, so that was a highlight for me and for a lot of other people as well.

Our speaker for Pizza Theology

We had tons of students that were able to come this time, which was really exciting!

Secondly we had our annual big fundraiser, "Keep Focus Growing" Which supplies us with funds to keep our ministry running, and give us wiggle room to move to new campuses as God leads us. God was so faithful to send us so many generous people this year and we were able to raise over $60,000!!   If you were one of the people who prayed or donated to this, THANK YOU!! We look forward to whatever comes next.

Check out the latest of our students to share their testimony below!

Wisdom Hey all!  I wanted to do something a little bit different this month. I've talked about Pizza Theology on here a few times before, and we just had another one. This time I want to link this semester's talks and encourage you to listen! It's about a 4 hour time commitment, but they are broken up nicely for you based on where we split up the talks.  The wisdom literature is definitely not a topic you hear preached on or talked about most often in sermons, but I think they are incredibly timely and important for Christians in our current world. These books are challenging and will engage our theology in some really key ways for a culture that currently struggles with discernment and wisdom.  It was one of my favorite Pizza Theologies we have done so far so I hope you enjoy them! 1.  https://open.spotify.com/episode/0PfiIl6DRD5lBBJuAZUPuN?si=4b-sH9M4TCqx3T49khY-ew 2.  https://open.spotify.com/episode/5hUc0sYZ4cLZYRkcE03FMh?si=e43My2gBS0mBtzKUdmLIUQ 3.  https://open.spoti

A little different sort of update this month. Coming to you from Kimsey's Coffee in Argyle today. One of my favorite little "offices" for getting things done. It's an odd building, designed to look something like a cross between a hobbit house and a European hunting lodge. (As best as I can tell anyways). "Why don't you just work from home?" Jude thinks that me being at home but working and not playing with him is an extremely unsuitable arrangement. So here I am! Plus they have pretty good coffee.  Kimsey's Sometimes someone who is really unfamiliar with what a campus minister does will really dig in and ask, yeah but like what do you DO? It's usually those moments that I'm reminded how strange my job can be. I'm a pastor, but my congregation changes significantly every year. This month, we're really working  on expanding our social media/advertising for this next year. So I'm a graphic designer/marketer this summer? Sometimes be

 Hello all! Just finished the first half of summer. Despite the sweltering heat, we are all mostly intact. Only one of our staff's A/C's has busted. Not bad.  We're fundraising whatever amount of our support is still not up to our budget over the summer so please be praying for that! God provides and we're just looking for the right people to connect with who would want to support the mission of reaching college students. Let me know if there's anyone who would be interested in hearing from me! Thank you for all of you who support this mission month after month or year after year. Your support is life changing! We're doing an 8 week study on preaching over the summer with our Denton Staff, and reading a book called Between Two Worlds by John Stott. It's been an excellent read, and I love that we get some time in our schedule over the summer to do some more broad prep work like this, and we're hoping this will only help elevate our preaching game to reach
