God Demonstrates His Love (Audio)
This is an audio recording of a session from a youth minister staff training in which I speak on how God demonstrates his love for us. Using Romans 5:8 and the lyrics of the song, "God Demonstrates His Love" by Harvest, I walk through how God has show his love for me in the depths of my sin. God wants to share his mercy and healing with you through this message.
Howdy! I know it has been a few weeks but I am excited to be back! It has been a busy month with transitioning into a new role at work, running a Jr High Summer Camp, taking a group of teens to the first Steubenville Youth Conference in Texas and much more.

Share Your Presents
Almost every gift is made better when the experience of the gift can be shared with others. So often, we want to receive the gift of mercy from the Father but struggle to share that gift with the ones around us. Tune in to this audio clip as we explore two of Jesus' parables that shed light on what God is calling us to do in sharing His mercy.
What is the best gift you have ever received? My favorite Christmas present ever was my Nintendo 64 way back when I was a kid the year it launched. Such great memories! In this audio clip of my talk at a Jr High Day of Reflection at St. Joseph's Catholic School in Bryan, Tx, I explore the greatest gift we have all ever received; the mercy of the Father.
Like my Nintendo 64, gifts are better when they can be a shared experience with others. So often, we want to receive the mercy of the Father but struggle to share that gift with the ones around us.

Year of Mercy Kickoff!
Recording of the song "Mercy" by Matt Redman in honor of the kickoff of the Year of Mercy proclaimed by Pope Francis
Happy Advent! Happy Feast of the Immaculate Conception! Happy Kickoff of the Year of Mercy as proclaimed by Pope Francis! ITS A CELEBRATION!
So much excitement in one day that I couldn't contain it. I just knew I had to share something with you guys but I didn't know what. Then when I was driving in my car this weekend, with children screaming in the back seat, God sent me a moment of mercy. The song "Mercy" by Matt Redman came on and I knew it was just the thing to share with y'all.
So today, I set out to record it in the Church. But all day, the LOL's(the term of endearment for the church Little Old Ladies) were decorating the Church for Advent/Christmas so I couldn't record in the Church as planned. So I set out to find a small room where I wouldn't bother anyone. As I thought of small rooms secluded from everyone, the best place I could think of was the confessional! What a perfect place to kick off the year of mercy!
So here is the recording. I hope you enjoy it...and get to a confessional some time soon. Advent is a great time to return to the Lord and restore your relationship with Him. I am hoping and praying that He breathes new life into you and me this season.
Blessings!
Taylor
