I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

My driving passion is to empower people to impact the world for Jesus. I count myself very fortunate to be able to do that in a number of ways, but my favorite is speaking at any event where they'll have me! Last year I got to speak to junior high kids, academic theologians, college students, international pastors, musicians youth workers and just about everybody in between.

Visit my homepage at Shepherd Project MinistriesI'm just getting my feet wet with this whole Myspace thing and, as you'll notice, I don't have any friends yet. How pathetic does it look to see "Craig Smith has 0 friends". They ought to just ad in "...apparently he's some kind of bonzo loser." So, if you'd care to be my friend (how elementary school does that sound??), please let me know!

The Shape of Our Desires

You've probably heard that we have a God-shaped hole in our hearts and that nothing but God can fill that void.  That's true.  Stuffing other things into that hole will not satisfy us, but i...
