How do parents lead their families to use social networking in a healthy way? How do we use social networking as a tool for ministry? Words are heavy.

When I turned 18 I was able to buy my first Nokia cell phone! It was a great moment! I could play the game “snake” and call my friends wherever I went.

I began serving as student pastor at Church @ the Springs. Time has quickly flown by as I’m learning about the people, culture and vision of the springs.

I have faced numerous transitions growing up as a “PK” (pastor’s kid) and throughout my college experience. You meet people who become lifelong friends. You make lifelong memories with friends that impact eternity. One thing that remains a constant is relationships. Ministry is all about relationships.

When I began student ministry I had ideas but many times they were just that, ideas! In any ministry context there are certain aspects that require programming. Setting up a scheduled time to worship, train leaders and have events. What I learned is that people hunger for relationship. More importantly, a relationship [...]]]> http://joshrobinson.cc/2012/02/08/relationships-programs/feed/ 0 http://joshrobinson.cc/2012/02/06/expectation-management/ http://joshrobinson.cc/2012/02/06/expectation-management/#comments Mon, 06 Feb 2012 12:00:10 +0000 joshrobinson http://joshrobinson.cc/?p=4878 #5: be clear about expectations. We all have expectations. We expect our food to be prepared at a fast food restaurant to be…fast. We have expectations about other people, whether they know it or not.

In student ministry, organization and planning is a key component to running healthy ministry. The tendency I had when I began in ministry is to love students and love God and thought that was all there was to it! I quickly realized that there is a lot more work involved in student ministry.
