Josh GriffinMore Posts My Blades of Glory Experiment

OK, little experiment I’m doing this weekend. I want to see if putting hundreds of “blades of glory” phrases on my blog a) gets tons of people to the site that are searching for a hot upcoming movie, and/or b) generates Google ads for the movie, ice dancing lessons or ice skating equipment on my site. Stupid, I know. Here goes!blades of glory will ferrell jon heder movie funny blades of glory will ferrell jon heder movie funny …

Josh GriffinMore Posts Jon Varner — Newest Member of the HSM Team

This is Jon Varner – he’s the latest addition to the HSM team. Jon is finishing up his 2-year internship with Saddleback, with a ton of recent transition in our staff he’s landed with HSM, and I couldn’t be happier (especially since he looks a bit like Wolverine). Jon has helped with regional campus ministry, spiritual growth and now student ministry. Pumped to have him through September of this year! JG …

Josh GriffinMore Posts Fix the Ceiling Tiles

I was playing ping pong with Jon the other day when we stumbled on an interesting learning moment. Jon is a 2-year intern with Saddleback’s High School Ministry, he’s been great so far and is wrapping up his time serving with HSM through this September. About halfway through the match we noticed that a ton of the ceiling tiles above the tables were out of place. Not a couple of them, but about half of them, all cock-eyed and messy. I…

Josh GriffinMore Posts Free Energy Bus For the Team

I just got a dozen copies of The Energy Bus for the high school team to read and discuss in the coming weeks. My friend Jason has been telling me about it for awhile – he read the book and then had the opportunity to meet the author, Jon Gordon, at the ReThink Conference. They attended up connecting and have been emailing back and forth ever since (rumor has it that Jon might even be speaking at the PDYM Student Leadership Conference t…

Josh GriffinMore Posts Book Review: The Shark and the Goldfish

Just finished the quick read new business tale The Shark and the Goldfish by Jon Gordon. It is written almost like a kid’s story – but right from the start you can see principles about your outlook on life and transferable lessons to bring into the real world. A goldfish is swept out to sea and a caring shark takes him in and teaches him how to survive in the new environment. It makes for a stable analogy of the job market, layoffs a…

Josh GriffinMore Posts Book Review: Training Camp

Just finished up Training Camp: What the Best do Better than Everyone Else by Jon Gordon, author of The No Complaining Rule and Energy Bus. I really enjoyed the fable writing style that Jon has used in the trilogy, and this time the setting of an NFL training camp also really hit the mark for me. Lots of subtle learnings in the book – the standout for me being how little of a difference there is between good and great, and how a little mor…
