Jesus, Poverty and a Bad Mistake


Greg Stier
Jesus, Poverty and a Bad Mistake
We address poverty by both giving
them bread for their bodies and
the Bread of Life for their souls.

As I write this I’m traveling home from a Youth Specialties convention that was just held in Dallas, Texas. “YS” (as it’s commonly called) is a youth pastors’ conference that has tons of seminars for youth leaders to help them become more effective at ministering to teenagers. I’ve been teaching at these fabulous events for more than a decade and look forward to it every year.
One of the reasons I love YS is because it’s always a great opportunity to connect with youth pastors of all shapes and stripes. These leaders range from mainline to conservative, small church to large church and rural to urban.
My YS experiences have been defined by laughter, learning and, at times, controversial conversations. It has been a joy to wrestle through tough issues with others who are in the midst of ministering to the next generation.

Perhaps you’ve been a long way from home as I was years ago – uncertain about life’s purpose, its end, about eternity. Wherever you are, once a solid foundation is in place, the adventure of growing and living in Christ never ends.
The next step is yours. I urge you to rise to the challenge. If these thoughts and words are timely, please reflect on them and, with God’s help, act on them. With all my heart, I believe they are your reliable roadmap to the way home.
