No Cookie Cutter Youth Ministry. What you can't learn about youth ministry from reading a BLOG…. Up, up and away. Teams colors flying. Big games all night. We had extra time. Extra time is death a shocking fear of all youth pastors. We looked at our resources what was directly in front of us included a gym, a large big ball, students hyped up on team spirit and a will to win. Lots of potential, right? Potential for what we would soon find out. And we had to assume his diagnosis was correct.). A first tim...

No Cookie Cutter Youth Ministry. What you can't learn about youth ministry from reading a BLOG…. Sometimes in ministry, God moves you onto the next step He has for you in His plan; and so you have to say goodbye to all those you will leave behind. Leaders, students, and the church itself. It’s a time of mixed emotions. You’re of course excited about what God has for you next, but you’re heartbroken to leave people you care about. How do you know when it’s time? That’s not what we’re saying! Ultimately, w...

No Cookie Cutter Youth Ministry. What you can't learn about youth ministry from reading a BLOG…. There are times in youth ministry, where great ideas go terribly awry Oh wait, have we said that already? As the scene was set, I began to weave a hair-raising tale of rumored occult meetings happening in these woods. I then put to the boys (and the guest worship artist) Who wants to go check it out? There were dark hooded figures surrounding the flames. What’s that we hear as we creep closer? Freezing for a ...

Feeling Hungry | Blake or Amanda Clark
https://blakeoramandaclark.wordpress.com/2015/01/22/feeling-hungry
Blake or Amanda Clark. In the Shadow of the Almighty. January 22, 2015. There’ s only one thing that can fill me. One thing that can satisfy me. When I fast, I am reminded of that one thing and that one truth. The Psalmist writes this to God in Psalms 63:5- You satisfy me more than the richest feast. There’s nothing here that can satisfy what our souls so sweetly crave. This entry was posted in Amanda Clark. And tagged Amanda Clark. Blake and Amanda Clark blog. 3 thoughts on “ Feeling Hungry.

WORD! | Blake or Amanda Clark
https://blakeoramandaclark.wordpress.com/2014/12/27/word
Blake or Amanda Clark. In the Shadow of the Almighty. December 27, 2014. One main reason this immediately resonated with me is that I can retrospectively look on certain years of my life and give the word that the Lord was teaching me at that time. Or I can look over past seasons of my life and know the one truth God was emphasizing to me. God, what do you want my life to be characterized by this year? God, what will be our focus in our walk together this year? It’s late December now, and to be honest, a...

Blake or Amanda Clark. In the Shadow of the Almighty. August 23, 2015. Last night I dreamed I wrote this in my sleep. I’ve been collecting a lot of interesting dreams lately in a series of restless nights wrestling with the Enemy. Succumbing to his lies at times, working to fight them off at others. It’s been wearing. His lie? This demon loves when I begin striving for perfection, knowing that I cannot reach the goal. Working and focusing on the perfect-may help me avoid feeling the weight of failure...

…A God that Hurts… | Blake or Amanda Clark
https://blakeoramandaclark.wordpress.com/2013/11/20/a-god-that-hurts
Blake or Amanda Clark. In the Shadow of the Almighty. November 20, 2013. 8230;A God that Hurts…. Name it— Claim it. You don’t have because you don’t ask. Pray Big Prayers. Dream Big Dreams for God. As a follower what do we do with John 10:10 abundant living when we’re staring into the death of a dream? I hate when someone gives a Christian platitude to someone who’s staring into the black hole of a dead dream. Don’t you? No- it’s from that whole sin curse thing. In the Gospel of John the King James trans...
