Coffee Chats // Spiritual Growth This Summer
1 May
It’s summertime. And that means, for college students, every rhythm that has been established over the last nine months will be disrupted.
And that’s frustrating. I remember being so discouraged in college, feeling as though I was taking two steps backwards.
Even now, in my own life, I feel out of whack. My equilibrium is off and everything suffers because of it.
Including my relationship with God.
But, I feel the summertime can be an amazing season of intention spiritual growth and discipleship for all of us.
And, so, I want us to do this together. Technology will help.
All you need is some time, an internet connection, and a webcam.
I am making myself available throughout this summer for what I am calling “Coffee Chats.” I want to meet with you for one hour, each week of the summer, for discipleship, encouragement, and accountability. I want to help you make a plan for your spiritual growth through these summer months. I want to pray with you. I want to hear about what God is doing in your life.
Here is how we’ll do it:
Find a time.
I have set up some blocks of time over the next week for you to sign-up for. Simply go to my calendar and find a time that works for both of us.
Set it up.
On the calendar, click the button and write your name down. In the box that says “Where” I would like for you write down which service we will use to meet. I can be found in the following spaces:
- Google Talk.
- Google+.
- Facebook Video Chat.
- Skype.
- Face Time.
Show up.
You don’t have to bring a cup of coffee, but I will. We’ll share life-on-life, face-to-face.
So, please. Head on over to the calendar and find a time that works for the both of us right now and sign-up. I’ve only listed my available times for the next week…so don’t wait.
TNT Podcast // Ephesians 5:22-33 // MARRIAGE MAKES YOU HOLY, NOT JUST HAPPY
28 MarLast night, at our Tuesday Nite Thing (TNT), we tackled a tough passage of Scripture to understand.
And for us, it all starts with this one question: what if marriage is designed to make you holy, not just happy?
Exploring Ephesians 5:22-33, we looked at the ways husbands are called to lead their wives in holiness. And then we looked at the ways women are called to submit to their husbands in pursuit of holiness. This was a fun and honest conversation about a potentially hot topic.

This Week at CCH and Coming Soon!
26 MarThere are lots of neat things coming up:
Tuesday, March 27 — COMMUNION MEAL AND TNT: At 6pm, we will gather at CCH for our weekly Communion Meal.
Then, at 7pm, our Tuesday Nite Thing (TNT) will begin with a time of unplugged worship. Following that, we will continue our study through the book of Ephesians.
Do you want to be married one day? What should you look for in a potential spouse? How should a husband and wife love each other? And what does marriage teach us about Christ and His gospel?
We will answer all of these questions and more tomorrow night. Bring your Bible.
(And afterwards, we will head to Carson’s Sports Grille for some more food and hanging out. It’s half-priced wings if you are into that sort of thing!)
Wednesday, April 4 — NEELY IN CONCERT: Our good friends NEELY will be in concert next Wednesday at Central Christian Church in St. Joseph. If you caught their acoustic show at CCH last fall, you might want to check them out again…this time, with their full band. We’ll take a few cars down, so be watching for details.
Much more always coming up. Stay tuned for more details!
Friday, April 20 through Sunday, April 22 — SPRING RETREAT: It’s time once again for our annual Spring Retreat. We will gather with campus ministries from Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Oklahoma, and Illinois for a weekend of good teaching, great worship, and one final hurrah before the end of the year.
I realize this retreat occurs the weekend before final exams. No need to write it off. Plan ahead. Study ahead. And there will be some down time for you to crack a book during the retreat if you like.
The cost is $40 and this includes everything.
TNT Podcast // Ephesians 5:1-14 // WALK IN LOVE AND LIGHT
14 MarHere is last night’s podcast from our Tuesday Nite Thing (TNT) at the Christian Campus House.
In Ephesians 5, Paul calls followers of Christ to imitate God as dearly beloved children. Then he shows us how. There are three ways we are to walk (live our lives):
- Walk in Love
- Walk in Light
- Walk in Wisdom
This night, we talked about the first two.
A quick note: I had the lights off for most of the message. It was very dark in the room. And then I turned the lights on. It was very blinding, but good for us to “see” the message.
