Matrix Conference
I'm at the Matrix full time Christian youthworkers conference at High Leigh.
As expected a number of other bloggers here "in the flesh" - I'll link to them later, as they may post more interesting reflections than me!
So far we've looked at "Youthworker as Theologian" and "Youthworker as Leader". James Lawrence from CPAS was excellent on the leadership stuff. I also went to his "going deeper" session, where he covered some excellent stuff on not striving for a balanced life.
He argues we need a surrendered life, which leads to abundant life and blended life. Balance for him is an unhelpful metaphor as we end up more stressed about being out of balance!
