YC – 2010 Tenth Avenue North Keeps it Real

I find that in my travels, many people – including myself at times – put on a mask that disguises what they are feeling. Often we act socially acceptable instead of how we feel like acting, and while this is a good thing if it prevents violence, it is still a mask. Honestly, I find that religious people are some of the worst – and that is why I believe that Christians should be different. Christianity is not merely a religion, but a relationship and sometimes relationships aren’t easy and fun every day.

I had the opportunity to interview 10th Avenue North and I found them to be one of the most refreshing, honest bands that I’ve ever talked with. Jeff, Mike, Rueben, Brenden and Jason were kind enough to hang out with me even though they were exhausted as they were a last-minute fill in. Take a listen and find what our Christian duty is, and how life can get ahead of us. There is no defeat, only a chance for a better tomorrow.

Heading to YC Alberta 2009

My life takes a turn in the Youth direction this weekend as I packed up a few kids and we head up north to Edmonton, Alberta to check out YC Alberta 2009. This is a Christian Youth Conference that features a lot of bands, some great speakers, a lot of fun activities and not a lot of sleep. You can check out the main site at YCGeneration.com

It looks like Toby Mac is headlining againt this year, but to be honest I’m more excited to see Red live. I’m hoping they are on the main stage. You’ll be able to keep up to the minute as I’ll be twittering and qik’ing some of the weekend events. Make sure you check out my “Social Stuff” page for the appropriate links. In the meantime, check out a few pictures from last year’s YC over here.
