I especially appreciated the 2nd video where you said, “If I am struggling with forgiveness and Jesus says, ‘Well Nick, you should forgive more’ that doesn’t help me.”
A gospel of do and don’t isn’t good news and it doesn’t help anyone. It’s like Red Bull that sounds good and may even make you feel motivated for a while but then it crashes you.
Please feel free to comment on any and all things I post. I'd much rather have this be an interactive blog than me feeling like I'm writing into the wind. This is more than me just putting my thoughts out there, I'd like some feedback which fosters a learning for all parties. So please... comment away!

Your message reminds me of Kara Powel’s article on youth ministry. http://stickyfaith.org/articles/more-than-the-red-bull-rip-off.
Chris,
I am glad you benefited from this message. And I do suppose it’s a very good thing the gospel won’t crash you like an energy drink!
Thank you Nick
