Order Through Chaos: Nicaragua Journal
http://zackweingartner.blogspot.com/2010/02/nicaragua-journal.html
Reflections on Youth Ministry and Life in General. Wednesday, February 24, 2010. As I have time I am going to add the things I journaled while in Nicaragua. I might censor a little bit of the stuff with too much personal introspection. I'm not THAT vulnerable, and also add a few thoughts here and there. The dorm here (the "Quinta" as they call it) is basically a mansion. I had no idea what kind of sleeping arrangements to expect, o this is a pleasant surprise. Off to a great start! We sorted pills and pa...

http://zackweingartner.blogspot.com/2011/03/coaching-mentoring-better-me.html
Reflections on Youth Ministry and Life in General. Thursday, March 10, 2011. Coaching Mentoring = Better Me. Next, I found out about the Youth Ministry Coaching Program. If you are a youth pastor, go. Do this . now, not later. Sell your car or whatever, it's well, well worth it. Your life will. Change, I promise. I cant wait to see you and the fam. March 11, 2011 at 6:57 AM. Love it. Love you! March 15, 2011 at 6:47 PM. When I heard you were moving on from FRCC I was devastated. Although I knew it wa...

Order Through Chaos: It's True ...
http://zackweingartner.blogspot.com/2011/08/its-true.html
Reflections on Youth Ministry and Life in General. Friday, August 26, 2011. I've had a tough time lately with some "Life's Not Fair" moments that I'm much too coy to share. Really, the truth is that they aren't important - because the lesson I've been focusing on is this:. I have two ridiculous kids. Soooo cute and so fun. I was raised by incredible, loving parents that equipped me well (and even bail me out now from time to time). And a lot of other things that can fit in here are true, too. An Open Apo...

Order Through Chaos: Getting Old(er) in Youth Ministry
http://zackweingartner.blogspot.com/2010/07/getting-older-in-youth-ministry.html
Reflections on Youth Ministry and Life in General. Monday, July 5, 2010. Getting Old(er) in Youth Ministry. After getting soundly beat down in yet another game of football today, I had a realization . at some point I jumped the shark from it being "unfair" for me to play against 13 year-olds to nobody really wanting me on their team. What I'm BETTER at as a 32 year-old:. Self-awareness, including the humility to ask for help to change. Letting things roll off my back. What I'm WORSE at:. Lecturing . ...

Order Through Chaos: The Beatitudes in Action
http://zackweingartner.blogspot.com/2011/01/beatitudes-in-action.html
Reflections on Youth Ministry and Life in General. Thursday, January 27, 2011. The Beatitudes in Action. I love the Beatitudes as Eugene Peterson presents them in the Message. They are just real, and especially to middle school and high school students. I'm starting a series this week taking commercials and placing them against a Beatitude to offset the message the world wants us to get and the one Jesus does. Can i get the podcasts?

http://zackweingartner.blogspot.com/2010/11/josies-birthday-wish.html
Reflections on Youth Ministry and Life in General. Monday, November 15, 2010. I know that only a few people read this regularly, but I am going to post here anyway about what my wife, Josie, wants for her 30th birthday on Saturday (the 20th). We listened to a Catalyst Leadership Conference. Josie is "donating" her birthday in an effort to raise at least $1,000 for the charity. Would you link to this post or tell your friends about charity:water if you read this? November 19, 2010 at 9:50 AM. The Suburbs,...

Order Through Chaos: Publish Me! (Come on, please?)
http://zackweingartner.blogspot.com/2009/11/publish-me-come-on-please.html
Reflections on Youth Ministry and Life in General. Tuesday, November 3, 2009. Come on, please? Those of you that know me well probably know that my only goal in life from the age of like 7 has been to be a writer. My mom thinks I'm pretty good. Anyhow: Here we go. The project is called (tentatively) One Step Beyond, and it's a book about Youth Missions changing the world. It's written to both teenagers and to those that lead them in youth groups . Introduction to the Introduction: I Believe. Down on the ...

Order Through Chaos: 15 Years Ago This Week
http://zackweingartner.blogspot.com/2010/03/15-years-ago-this-week.html
Reflections on Youth Ministry and Life in General. Tuesday, March 9, 2010. 15 Years Ago This Week. I traded the beaches of San Diego for the mountains of Denver. 15 years! Looking back a decade and a half later, I am so thankful for the way that the changes have shaped who I am. The faith I have, the spouse I chose, and the kids that came of that. The person I have turned into is shaped in a lot of ways by where I came from (San Diego), but just as much by where I landed (Denver). Plus I would weigh 300 ...

Order Through Chaos: Change
http://zackweingartner.blogspot.com/2010/10/change.html
Reflections on Youth Ministry and Life in General. Wednesday, October 27, 2010. We church folk talk about change a lot. Weekly, we ask people to digest a message (or for my youth group kids 2 or 3) and apply it to their lives. To change the things that need to be fixed and to emerge a better person. This is really messing with my head and my leading already. I have been challenged in my own application that as a follower of Christ I should always be practicing these things order to best allow myself ...

Order Through Chaos: Slumdog Millionaire
http://zackweingartner.blogspot.com/2008/12/slumdog-millionaire.html
Reflections on Youth Ministry and Life in General. Wednesday, December 31, 2008. This is flat-out one of the best movies I've ever seen. I know that's a strong statement, and it doesn't necessarily fit in with my all-time favorites (Memento, Pulp Fiction, Adaptation for example), but this is just a fantastic film. I'm not ashamed to say I cried multiple times, it was that touching - and I'm a sucker for stories of kids in poverty and for True Love stuff. . January 2, 2009 at 12:59 PM. LOVE, the Neels.
