Feeling Separated from God?

This is the topic we'll discuss this Sunday night at the Sweet Spot. Comment here to share any stories of a time you felt separated from God. What happened, if anything, that caused the feeling? How did you get reconnected...if you did? Have you ever helped a friend through a time of separation? Is there someone in your life right now who's feeling separated from God and might get something out of joining us on Sunday? Let's get ready for Sunday through the blog. Invite anyone you know to check it out.

Great Fun

Last night was a lot of fun. It's great to be able to relax and enjoy time together. While it doesn't always have to be explicitly about faith and changing the world, the process of building a community of faithful world changers includes times like last night. As soon as Mike sorts through your responses we'll post the topic for this Sunday's discussion. I'm hoping it'll be a topic you feel comfortable inviting people to join. Any comments about last night can be shared here and be sure to remind friends to visit the blog!

This week's thoughts

There are tons of thoughts and new ideas flooding in. How was last Sunday? Are we keeping the momentum? What sorts of details should be paying attention to? What sort of help do you guys (teens) need from the old guys? The Sunday meetings are lots of fun but we'll need to pay attention to other things and listen to what God's telling us as we move forward.

About Last Sunday

Okay, so I'm back to posting and I hated to miss last Sunday. Please share all about it. Did you shoot the video? Did we grow again? What's next from here? Share your thoughts, feelings, insights, and inspirations. Speaking of video...I'll be in Florida this weekend shooting a video for work so I'm missing another Sunday! It helps to be able to read about it here. It's not the same as being there but it keeps me connected to you guys. Now, let the sharing begin...

Thoughts for Week 2

After Sunday night's meeting this'll be the post where you can comment. Share thoughts, experiences, plans for the future, anything worth commenting on. Be general or as specific as you need to be.

On Vacation

Hey, I'm on vacation for the next week and may not have access to keep up with posts. Anybody who wants to post, if you could let me know over the weekend because I know I'll have access to my daughter's computer. Then I can change the settings to let others post. That way you guys can keep the conversation going. It's probably best that others besides me are posting topics anyway. Hope Sunday night is a great time and that you all enjoy Spring Break.

It's Thursday...but Sunday's Comin'

Apologies to Tony Campolo for modifying his line for the title of this post! I'm sure all the teens are wondering what I'm talking about. Anyway, we've all agreed to get together this Sunday. We've talked about what we might do but, I don't think we've settled on anything. So this post is an invitation for everyone to discuss what we might do this Sunday. It doesn't have to be way formal, but we should have some general idea so it's meaningful for those who show up. In my experience if something meaningful (translated worth giving up my time for) doesn't happen it'll make it harder to get people to come back.

Any Questions?

Since we can't get everyone together in one place to have some "God conversations" before Sunday I thought I'd post this invitation to ask questions. This could be one of our best threads yet...and, hey, it's only been two days!! Anyway, here's what I'm thinking. Anyone, adult or youth, who has questions about faith, God, religion, relationship, telling others, etc., etc., can write their questions as a comment to this post. Then, anyone with a thought, Bible passage, recommended book, blog, resource that helps address the question can respond. There may be different opinions and everything should be looked at through the lense of scripture ultimately. Questions can be about anything, nothing is out of bounds. For now it seems there are some with questions specific to what to share this Sunday so that might be a good place to start. So, that's it...let the questions begin!!

April 1 - Today's Meeting

It seems like not everyone was able to post a comment yesterday. This daily meeting thing will be a challenge with our meetings held online. Please encourage each other to jump online and join the conversation. For today I think we should respond to the invitation to meet in person before Sunday and talk about some details. Is there a day that works best for everyone? Who would pull together some goals for the meeting? Any suggestions and time and dates you're available would help. You guys are awesome and this Sunday will be amazing.
