School is back and you guys are heading back into the classrooms! Often the classrooms are more than just a place to learn about reading, writing and arithmetic! you often learn about how others view the world around you. Your peers in school have all kinds of different ideas about religion, spirituality and Christianity. Sometimes their opinion of Christianity is based more on bad news and bad experiences than the simple truth of Jesus. Have you ever felt if someone asked you about your faith you would have a hard time clearly explaining the gospel?
Starting September 9th we are going to host a new DVD based series called the Gospel Journey. The gospel journey is about what happens when you bring together seven unlikely strangers, throw them right in the middle of the Rocky Mountains and take them on a journey through the gospel message as it unfolds throughout the story of the Bible. This reality series unleashes seven very different students on one unforgettable quest, to understand the gospel message straight from the pages of Scripture.

I am praying this series will accomplish two goals. 1) You will learn in a simple and straight forward way what the gospel is and how to communicate it to your friends. 2) we are hoping you will take the flyers and blitz the town and your schools with invitations to come and be a part of this 8 week series. Even if your friends have been to youth group and thought it was boring and lame…invite them to come back just for the next 8 weeks!!! Even if they think that being a Christian is a joke…invite them to come and interact and share their opinions in the discussion. We will not be cramming a religion down their throat!! But WE WILL BE sharing what the gospel really is in a way that will be fun and interactive with the whole group…LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING YOU JOIN US ON THE GOSPEL JOURNEY!!

Each week I will be posting a short summary of the topic for discussion. I hope that you will join in by posting your comments and giving us some feedback about what you think of and where you are at in the gospel journey...even if you disagree with what is being said I would love to dialog about it here on the blog.
