December 1, 2014

Be-the-Message_ActionPlans_CH_300x250At Christmas time, of course, we celebrate the Incarnation: the Word becoming flesh (John 1:14). The theme of Be the Message is another kind of incarnation.

Houston Post: Ryan & Josh Shook Rediscover ‘Firsthand’ Faith

March 15, 2013

 

Ryan and Josh Shook are profiled in the Houston Chronicle regarding their debut book Firsthand: Ditching Secondhand Religion for a Faith of Your Own (March 19, 2013) and their personal struggles as  pastor’s kids to find a personal faith instead of copying that of their parents.

“You don’t have to be a pastor’s kid to find the faith that you had – or faked – for years doesn’t feel real anymore, they say. Ask most 20-somethings raised in a Christian home: They’ve gone through struggles and left the church, or like the Shooks, been forced to find a deeper understanding of Christianity,” writes the Houston Post.

Ryan and Josh Shook, along with their father Kerry, pastor of the Woodlands Church, will appear together at Lakewood Church in Houston on Wednesday, March 20 at 7:30 PM.

Kerry Shook in Christian Post “Time to Be All There for Our Kids”

December 20, 2012

In an interview in the Christian Post, Woodlands Church Pastor Kerry Shook, co-author of One Month to Love with his wife Chris, encourages parents in the wake of the Newtown tragedy to be “all there for our kids.”  “…What we all hope would come out of such a terrible tragedy is that parents all over the country will see that we need to be totally engaged with our kids, totally there for them when they need us the most.  Being over-protective is not the answer. The answer is being overly-engaged, completely into their lives.”
