I would like to start off by thanking you for reaching out to the youth of today. I know how my life was changed by adults looking past my spiked hair, plaid pants, chains, and punk rock attitude to connect with me on a spiritual level. Now it's my turn to invest in those young people, just as leaders in my life took stock in me.
Here I will answer some questions you may have regarding the ministry and if you have any further questions please contact me.
What can I expect from Greg at my event?
The format will change depending on the event and what you are looking for. In general my goal is to spend time mentoring outside of just the speaking engagement. These mentoring activities could include skateboarding or concerts or other activities that your students might enjoy. I believe students are more apt to receive the message when there is an established relationship. In addition, connecting with the students helps eliminate the myth that adults are "out of touch" with the youth today and can even help bridge any gaps they may have with authority figures in their own church.
What kind of doctrine will my students be recieving?
Students can expect to learn practical ways found in scripture to live radically obedient lives. Radical being the opposite of common and obedient as defined in the greek: a compound word "to hear" and "under" or to submit to. The result is that your kids will listen to God's voice and sumbit to his calling. They will be motivated to live their lives worthy of the calling they have received. The bible explains that our actions are a result of what is in our hearts and minds. I will be teaching students how to take their thoughts captive, renew their minds, and set their minds on things above. The result will be a pro-active life for God. Radically obedient not only having victory over sin, but obedient to His call to do amazing things for the Kingdom.
How much will it cost?
Events will vary depending on time commitment and travel expenses. I would expect necessary meals and lodging to be provided. The compensation for travel expenses will vary depending on distance of travel. Numbers can be worked out on an event by event basis. Please contact me to work those details out.
