Working with Jared Kirk is.........(think of whatever adjective you so choose and stick it here.)
Having him as your youth pastor can be just as interesting.

For all who may not have had the privilege to meet "his eminence", let me fill you in on who this man really is. Jared A. Kirk is a 23 year old graduate, from the University of Miami, with a degree in biomedical engineering. The stereotype that follows those kinds of people doesn't really apply to Jared. He definitely is not afraid of anything fun, daring and sometimes very stupid but that is why we love him.

I have the privilege this summer of interning with this man, who has become a great friend of mine. Throughout this summer Jared has decided to impart pieces of wisdom to me in the form of what he likes to call, "intern moments". They go something like this:

"Girls are like the Bible." (I can't remember what he said after that, I just thought that statement alone was pretty profound)

"It is more important that we teach kids how to minister, than that we have an excellent service"

"Just remember that sometimes Sundays don't always go as planned and things happen and we mess up. We might not do something the way that we want. We might always think that we can do something better. Remember that God has a plan for everything."
I reply by saying, "Why are you telling me this, bro?"
He says, " I just told you all this because.........this Sunday's gonna suck."

I just recently said, "Hey Jared, do you remember any of your intern moments from the last few weeks?"
He replied, "Of course not!!"
I asked him why and he said, "Because they are just moments........it's hard to remember those."


I'm going to do my best to post these every time I receive wisdom from the man. It'll be for my own good and for great laughs down the road.

I love Next Level Church.
