It Happens Every Year — High School Graduation

Clean Teen Reads

Clean Teen Reads

I’ve been privileged to have served in youth ministry for 18 years! That’s a long time. That’s a lot of students.

The unique aspect of working with youth is unlike any other ministry, in that we have them for a short while and then they’re gone. Every spring, we must say good-bye to our seniors. It’s never easy. I grieve to see them go. I thrill to see how God will lead and guide their lives and take them to new and exciting heights.

Our church has two campuses. Each campus has two separate small groups. Below is a photo of the five seniors graduating out of the group with whom I serve. The guy in the middle is my leader/partner for our group. (Yes I’m the shorty on the end. They usually outgrow me by the time they finish 7th grade, if not before. LOL)

These five have taught me so much. They have become apt disciples, and each one has moved into a leadership position. I’m so proud of them. And love them more than words can express.

I spotlight them in this post because they truly are “Teens on the Scene.” Not just for me, but for the greater community in which they will now serve.

Teens on the Scene: Update on Moziah Bridges (Mo’s Bows)

A year or so ago, in a Teens on the Scene post, I showcased a young entrepreneur named Moziah Bridges. (Check it out HERE.)

Mo’s claim to fame was that he started his own business sewing and selling smart-looking, highly-fashionable bow ties. I thought it would be pretty awesome to have an updated look at how this young man is doing in his business. Are you ready for this?

After appearing on Shark Tank, Mo gained a mentor, Daymond Garfield John. Daymond is an American businessman, investor, television personality, author, and motivational speaker.

In addition, Mo, who runs his Memphis-based tie company with his mom Tramica Morris, inked a seven-figure, one-year licensing deal with the NBA in May to produce bow ties for all 30 professional basketball teams.

Learn more about Mo’s incredible journey, his charitable endeavors, and his plans (big plans) for the future right HERE! 

Thanks to young students like Mo who serve as role models for other teens. I love giving them a place on my blog site!
