Insight
Every Tuesday night the youth group meets at the Swanburg's home for Insight, mid-week bible study. Basically we come and hang out, play a game, sing some songs, Brick (youth pastor) speaks, and split up for small groups. One of the aspects of leading worship on Sundays also means I lead on Tuesday's. In my opinion Tuesday night worship is a better atmosphere than Sunday mornings, simply because there are less distractions, such as a band, powerpoint, sound equipment, etc. You can just feel the presence of God when the lights are dimmed and there's the sound of an acoustic guitar in the background. Not only is the worship aspect amazing on Tuesday's, but having small groups gives myself and the other leaders a chance to see where the kids are at. What are they struggling with? Why? What can we do to help? What is God doing? Devon and myself are the co-leaders for the freshman boys, and if all of them were to show there would be close to 25 of them. Seeing what is going through there heads as to who God is and what He is doing is amazing. Stories of God working through Freshman boys, probably the least qualified age to work through. I know that I was a handful when I was a freshman. God works!!! Espicially through youth.
