MoreThanDodgeball.com is the blog of Josh Griffin. Josh Griffin is the high school pastor at Saddleback Church. Saddleback Church is the church Rick Warren pastors. Last year, MTDB was rated the 4th best student ministry website in the country.

Since July, there have been four Liberty guys currently working in student ministry that have had something featured on that website. I thought it was a really good showing from our school and wanted to share it here.

July 20 - Matt Cote (Family Life Pastor at Brentwood Church) - It Will Cost You Everything

July 29 - Cory Ball (Family Life Intern at Brentwood Church) - Family Transformation

November 27 - Me (HS Ministry Intern at Two Rivers Church) - You Are Bigger Than We Let You Be

December 26 - Ben Read (aka rueful - Pastor To Students at West Gate Baptist) - The 5 Hardest Things You May Have To Do In Youth Ministry

SJ, I don't know if you've been looking for youth pastor jobs at all, but I find it so interesting that all the churches im talking to right now say my resume stuck out because of Liberty University.

But in my current position, and with other youth pastors Ive noticed one of the main differentials that does set Liberty apart is the training from Doc that if its going to be Christian it ought to be better. Specifically with my boss and other church leaders here, its as though they are more than content to be running a second rate church with a second rate service.

im supposed to have a post on there at some point today if anyone is interested in reading it. Its on the envy that is so easy for small church youth pastors to have of big churches.
