I Am Second

Rarely do I take what I see on billboards seriously enough to actually go to a website seen on one! But, I'm glad I did that this time. During the Christmas holidays, I saw several billboards all over the Dallas area with famous people on them. Written across the front was a lonely "iamsecond.com." The one that really caught my eye and made me visit the site was Jason Castro from American Idol. So I went, as should you.

On Thursday nights this semester we are incorporating videos from this website into our devotional times. The gist of the videos is that these people (some famous, some not) have come to a place where they overcome struggles by realizing that God is first in their life; Jesus is the most important thing; they are second. Their testimonies range from struggles with drug addiction to issues of success and fame to life growing up in a Christian home.

I am looking forward to how these videos impact our students this year. We will have a little discussion about them during devo time, but the point is to really get them thinking about their own struggles in learning to follow Jesus more completely. You should check out the videos.
