September 4th, 2011 joshherndon Man! Life is moving fast. For the past few months, I’ve felt like I’ve been pulled physically and spiritually in two-directions: one in Burlingame, where we are preparing to launch The Sacred Church in January, and El Sobrante where we’ve been ministering at for the past 3 years. We had our last Sunday at Central Assembly [...]
Flash Mob at the Boardwalk
July 24th, 2011 joshherndon This past week our students went on our annual summer camp! I’ll write down a few thoughts later, but I organized a Flash Mob at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk for one of our “activities”. So much fun!

April 3rd, 2011 joshherndon Last Friday was no April Fools– we met God! There was a lot of distractions leading up to the service, but our student leaders stayed focused and led a hungry group of students in worship and prayer. I was particularly proud of Becca, Gabby, and Cecilia (the three girls, leading worship). All three faced severe [...]

March 7th, 2011 joshherndon Editor’s note: I apologize for my inconsistent posts. I’ve been preoccupied with an intense season at school, moving houses, and baby preparation. There were some funny elements to the night: I Am: II. We continued our series on Jesus’ seven “I Am” statements in John. On Friday we covered “I am the Gate” and “I [...]

February 7th, 2011 joshherndon One (of several) downfalls of being bivocational is conflicting obligations. For instance, last Friday was our school‘s homecoming (at the same time as youth group). This of course was problematic, as I am the ASB advisor and oversee all things social– especially homecoming. It caused a long, hard day full or runarounds and back-and-forth trips [...]
8:40 (1/28/2010 CSM Review)
January 29th, 2011 joshherndon I have to say, it was one of my least charismatic but most urgent message I’ve ever spoken at CSM. I talked about defeating pirates in the second week of our How To Kill A Ninja (and other like-minded villians) series as inspired by Josh Shipp’s book. Pirates are people that will take advantage of [...]

January 17th, 2011 joshherndon We started a new series, “How to Kill a Ninja (and other like-minded villains) this past week. Its inspiration came from a book that a friend-of-a-friend contributed to. This week we talked about “How to Kill a Ghost”. In short, a ghost is past memories, mistakes, or lies that we let control our future. The [...]

January 7th, 2011 joshherndon Jeff Devoll, head of Studentreach, spoke at CSM tonight. It was a hysterical message about “waking up” from the slumber of apathy and jumping into a divine adventure. One of my youth leaders summed up the night, when he said “excellent!” My favorite moment was sitting back and listening to Jeff! Did I mention this [...]
CSM Review 12/3/10
December 7th, 2010 joshherndon Tonight’s topic was about pain and stress. We looked at pain not just as something to avoid, but something that God could be using. In times of stress/pain: God wants to build our character/endurance, or God wants to change our direction. I asked the students to assess the stress/pain in their lives. Is God trying [...]
