Josh GriffinMore PostsGoogle Maps on My Phone

I’ve been jealous of Google Maps on several iPhones lately, then recently I was just turned on to the fact that my PPC-6700 from Sprint could handle the mobile version, too. No more iPhone envy (on that count, anyway). Want to try it on your Windows Mobile device? I’m addicted to live traffic reports!

Josh GriffinMore PostsLetting Go to Grow

We posted a new article on Friday about a youth leader having to let go of his ministry for it to be healthy. I think it’s a great look inside the process of ‘letting go to grow’ … here’s a clip, hit the link for the rest of the story:

At 7:25 pm, I walked out of Jeff and Megan O’Neal’s house.

Jeff is one of our middle school leaders. He and his family are hosting our middle school small groups this school year. Tonight was the first night of this school year’s small groups. Our middle schoolers met at the O’Neals’ while our high schoolers met about 4 miles away at another house.

But tonight… I’m not leading a group.

Instead, I am leaving our Tuesday night small group program (5 groups in all) in the very capable hands of two high school leaders and three middle school leaders. I have all the confidence in the world in Mike, Becky, Candy, Mark and Kathy. They are incredible leaders. They have an incredible heart for students. I could see it in their eyes tonight as they gathered.

But I “died” a little bit tonight as I walked out that door. You see; I want to be there with those students. I want to hang with them… I want to laugh with them… I want to lead them… all of them. And that’s not healthy.

Josh GriffinMore PostsPDYM Community Blog

Here’s a sneak peak at something we’re pushing to have ready for The Gathering this week. Around the first of October we’re hoping to have this site ready to launch – basically it is a blog on steroids for Purpose Driven Youth Ministry. Wouldn’t it be fun if we could have all 100 of the state mentors be able to post on it? We’re working on it, look for it next month …
