The Blog

I started Part of the Glue in 2009 as a blog dedicated to help youth and college ministries reach students more effectively for Christ by utilizing web, video and social media more effectively. There are so many things changing in this culture, from the way we communicate, to the technology we use.  I believe that if we are to be effective in sharing the Gospel of God, we must be pioneers and use new ways and mediums with the constant message of Christ. We must find what works, what sticks and fill in the gaps where things seem to fall out of place.
