And Here We Go…

I can’t exactly say that I’m excited about this. To be honest, I’m a little terrified. Pouring my heart out all over the internet? That definitely does not sound like me. But let’s dive right in.

Let’s keep it simple:

My name is Jadner Lugo.

I am 27 years old, married to my beautiful bride, and expecting our first child in the next few weeks (or days).

I’m a Student Ministry Director at a multisite church called the Journey in Orange City, Florida.

I love to read.

I love to write.

I love to learn.

It’s that last one that has pushed me to start this blog. I just love to learn. I am a sponge. It is why I listen to so many podcasts, watch so many documentaries and YouTube videos (I know those aren’t the same thing), and read so many books.

So what do I love to learn about?

Leadership, productivity, personal development, technology, student ministry, church ministry, and sports.

I learn so much about these topics that I can regurgitate information, facts, statistics, history, etc.

But that is the problem.

I don’t want to consume information for my own gluttony. My desire to learn everything can appear humble, but it is rooted in selfishness. I shouldn’t desire to learn more just so I know more.

So with this blog, my goal has changed.

I learn more, to know more, to share more with those who would be willing to listen.

I am not the producer of this information. I’m the curator.

Every idea or thought will come from a book, podcast, documentary, YouTube video, sermon, conversation, etc.

I will always point you to the source of the information because like I said before, the source is not me. I’m ok with that.

I refuse to hold onto all of this information for myself.

I refuse to keep these fascinating thoughts and ideas to myself.

Let’s flesh them out together.

I am learning just like everyone else. The only difference is…

I won’t stop learning.
