Thoughts from an Unconventional Thinker: Break the Mold
http://nickmance.blogspot.com/2016/08/break-mold.html
Monday, August 8, 2016. There are still those who look at youth pastors as assistant-level staff, who do not function in the same capacity as senior-level staff. They still see a youth pastor as the immature and brazen young person looking to make a name for themselves. But that couldn't be further from the truth. Many of today's youth pastors look exceptionally different and conferences like NYWC. Are helping to showcase that. So what makes a youth pastor? The calling and passion. I am a youth pastor!

Thoughts from an Unconventional Thinker: July 2016
http://nickmance.blogspot.com/2016_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 26, 2016. I had just returned home from a mission trip to Central America and I looked at the trending news and saw a headline that read "Megachurch Pastor Perry Noble Removed From Church." My heart sank, and inwardly I cried out "God not again! As of late it seems too often there are church leaders failing in their leadership. Was forced to resign from Mars Hill Church after allegations of plagiarism, belittling staff, and misappropriation of funds. Perry Noble. Simply looking at the link ...

Thoughts from an Unconventional Thinker: Politicis - Get past the temporary and look to the eternal
http://nickmance.blogspot.com/2016/10/politicis-get-past-temporary-and-look.html
Monday, October 10, 2016. Politicis - Get past the temporary and look to the eternal. Politics. Bleh. That very word brings such disdain right now. In case you are reading this and missed it, or maybe this is way past this time and years away in the future (if so I am hopeful it is better than now), but we are in the midst of the 2016 Presidential Elections, and it has been one for the record books. But never do you see Jesus hitting the streets proclaiming Caesar as the correct leader. Never do you ...

Thoughts from an Unconventional Thinker: May 2016
http://nickmance.blogspot.com/2016_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 14, 2016. It was a conversation I wasn't expecting. He had followed me into the church kitchen in hopes of getting an extra snack from me, but the conversation that followed tore at my heart. S: Hey, let me get a bag of those chips. N: If you come to leadership on Wednesday, you will get these snacks and more there. S: But I'm not on leadership.(voice trails off). Then my second (after God slapped upside my head) was, thank you Jesus for letting this conversation happen. It doesn't seem lik...

Thoughts from an Unconventional Thinker: March 2016
http://nickmance.blogspot.com/2016_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 23, 2016. Have you ever found yourself to just be in a complaining rut? Do you come home and just talk about how poor your day was, or how horrible your co-workers are? Are you noticing you are overly pessimistic? Do you ever feel like you're overly cynical? Or maybe do you just feel like everything around you is just horrible? Within the past week I have felt God crying out to me saying, "Stop! But that it is God who does the work within us. And helps us to change! Now I say all this an...

Thoughts from an Unconventional Thinker: December 2016
http://nickmance.blogspot.com/2016_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 1, 2016. Too often it seems like a day, then a week, then a month, and so on flies by. If you are like me and serving in ministry it can seem as if there are not enough hours in a day to figure out how to get everything done and still have time for yourself. Take these as you will, knowing that all do not have to apply to your life, these aren't some magical fix all, but they are here to be shared and utilized as an encouragement. 1 Make time for Jesus. 2 Be protective of you time.
