                                           Senior Project Speech

       When I say the words teenage boys, what do you think of? A group of kids being obnoxious and

not making the smartest of decisions, but does that mean that we really have to expect our youth to act

this way? Not at all. Hi, my name is Chandler McCall and my senior project was a high school guys

Bible study named Cornerstone. Our main focus was how we are to become the leader that most adults

say we can't become.

       The topic I chose for my research paper was “Youth Today.” I researched some of the most

common problems that youth face in today's world. To me, this was necessary so that I could begin

forming ideas on what I should base the lessons I would be teaching on. Once I was done with my

research, I found that it really did not help me as much as I though it would. It did not tie in to my

project very well, but it did give me a place to start. I found that the politicians in our nation’s capital

have decided that this generation is a lost cause and has no hope of success. They say that we are lazy,

under appreciative and will not make sufficient leaders. When I found this fact, I decided on what my

lessons would be about. I was going teach the guys what the Bible had to say about leadership.

       My project was 4 weeks of teaching a guys Bible study called Cornerstone. I chose this because

it would give me an idea of the process I would be going through every week when I am a youth pastor.

The first step to my product was to research topics to discuss during Cornerstone. My research paper

did not really help me with that, but it did give me a good place to begin. I started looking into different

aspects of leadership and what I would focus on most. I began by finding scripture that I felt would

teach the guys how to be responsible, honest, hard working and polite. I read through scripture that I

already knew of and talked to my project facilitator Chris Page, who is also my youth pastor. He gave
me some ideas to use and I went on from there. The next step was to get the ideas together and organize

them. Once that was done, I began researching the scripture I had. This was the most time consuming

process. I had several tools that helped me with this, including both technology and books. I used the

fifth and sixth volumes of Matthew Henry's Commentary. I also used a couple of apps on my iPod that

were very useful. One was called Blue Letter Bible, which gives me access to the original Greek or

Hebrew that the scripture was written in. It also has a database of other sermons and commentaries on

the scripture that I used. Another app that I used was the Strong's Greek Index, which gave me tons of

insight that I never would have been able to get with reading the scripture by itself. Once I completed

this, I composed my notes and was prepared for teaching the lessons. Now I had to plan what we would

be doing for the four nights. I decided for the middle school and high school guys to join together for

the first hour. The first week we would have a cookout to bring everyone together and the other nights

we would play a sport, depending on what the guys wanted to play. For the cook out to happen I had to

gather a grill, the food to cook and most importantly, cook the food. I was assisted with this by the

adult leader of Cornerstone, Chris Gould. He provided me with a grill, hot dogs and buns and took over

cooking the hot dogs when I had to prepare the room for that night. Once everyone was done eating, we

split up with the middle school guys going with Chris and the high school guys going with me. Once

we were separated we would spend another hour to hour and a half doing the actual Bible study. This

would be me teaching my lesson that I prepared, but the main goal I was looking for was good

discussion between all of us to get different ideas and opinions. In the end, this did happen, but not as

much as I would have liked because attendance was lower than usual. I will discuss this later in the

problems that I encountered. My project facilitator was Chris Page who is my youth pastor. I chose

Chris as my project facilitator because I have been working with him as an intern at my church sense

the beginning of the summer last year and have known him for 7 years now. He was helpful by

showing me tips and tricks to help me get through some of the hardest parts of this project. Some of the

problems I encountered during my project was the fact that February break was in the middle of the
four weeks that I was planning to do my teaching. This brought attendance down a considerable bit and

caused the guys not to discus as much as I wanted them to. Also, I had technical problem where my

camera did not work out, which cause many of my pictures not to come out correctly. I overcame these

problems by compensating on the amount of time we spent outside with the cook out and playing of

sports. I knew that the hour to hour and a half I had planned for would be too long, so I changed the

plans to be outside playing sports a little longer and plan for about forty five minutes. This seemed to

work out well and good discussion still happened.

       From this project I have learned that planning a group of people meeting together is not easy.

There are many details that most people don't think of that must be prepared for such as food, back up

plans in case of inclement weather and how much work goes into preparing a lesson. I also learned that

just because you are teaching someone, you can always learn yourself. The whole time I was going

through this process, I kept and open mind to others ideas and that really helped me improve specific

details throughout my project. Now that I have completed my project, I have decided to continue

pursuing the topic. After graduation, I will go college at Shorter University in Rome, Georgia. I will be

majoring in Christian Studies. After a bachelor’s degree, I will go to New Orleans Baptist Theological

Seminary to get a master’s in divinity and possibly a doctorate degree. I will also find a job as a youth

pastor at a church near where ever I am.

       The process of my project has taught me some of what I will need to know to write weekly

lessons when I become a youth pastor. I feel that the project has helped me and it was an enjoyable

experience. I will be able to use what I learned from my project for the rest of my life and also I have

hopefully encouraged the guys in my youth group to rise up and become the leaders. As a wise man

once said, don't tell someone how they do something wrong, but show them how to do it right. Thank

you for being here and have a nice day.

This was the most time consuming process. I had several tools that helped me with this, including both technology and books. I used the fifth and sixth volumes of Matthew Henry's Commentary. I also used a couple of apps on my iPod that were very useful. One was called Blue Letter Bible, which gives me access to the original Greek or Hebrew that the scripture was written in. It also has a database of other sermons and commentaries on the scripture that I used. Another app that I used was the Strong's Greek Index, which gave me tons of insight that I never would have been able to get with reading the scripture by itself. Once I completed this, I composed my notes and was prepared for teaching the lessons. Now I had to plan what we would be doing for the four nights.

For the cook out to happen I had to gather a grill, the food to cook and most importantly, cook the food. I was assisted with this by the adult leader of Cornerstone, Chris Gould. He provided me with a grill, hot dogs and buns and took over cooking the hot dogs when I had to prepare the room for that night. Once everyone was done eating, we split up with the middle school guys going with Chris and the high school guys going with me. Once we were separated we would spend another hour to hour and a half doing the actual Bible study. This would be me teaching my lesson that I prepared, but the main goal I was looking for was good discussion between all of us to get different ideas and opinions. In the end, this did happen, but not as much as I would have liked because attendance was lower than usual. I will discuss this later in the problems that I encountered. My project facilitator was Chris Page who is my youth pastor. I chose Chris as my project facilitator because I have been working with him as an intern at my church sense the beginning of the summer last year and have known him for 7 years now. He was helpful by showing me tips and tricks to help me get through some of the hardest parts of this project. Some of the problems I encountered during my project was the fact that February break was in the middle of the
  • 3. four weeks that I was planning to do my teaching. This brought attendance down a considerable bit and caused the guys not to discus as much as I wanted them to. Also, I had technical problem where my camera did not work out, which cause many of my pictures not to come out correctly. I overcame these problems by compensating on the amount of time we spent outside with the cook out and playing of sports. I knew that the hour to hour and a half I had planned for would be too long, so I changed the plans to be outside playing sports a little longer and plan for about forty five minutes. This seemed to work out well and good discussion still happened. From this project I have learned that planning a group of people meeting together is not easy. There are many details that most people don't think of that must be prepared for such as food, back up plans in case of inclement weather and how much work goes into preparing a lesson. I also learned that just because you are teaching someone, you can always learn yourself. The whole time I was going through this process, I kept and open mind to others ideas and that really helped me improve specific details throughout my project. Now that I have completed my project, I have decided to continue pursuing the topic. After graduation, I will go college at Shorter University in Rome, Georgia. I will be majoring in Christian Studies. After a bachelor’s degree, I will go to New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary to get a master’s in divinity and possibly a doctorate degree. I will also find a job as a youth pastor at a church near where ever I am. The process of my project has taught me some of what I will need to know to write weekly lessons when I become a youth pastor. I feel that the project has helped me and it was an enjoyable experience. I will be able to use what I learned from my project for the rest of my life and also I have hopefully encouraged the guys in my youth group to rise up and become the leaders. As a wise man once said, don't tell someone how they do something wrong, but show them how to do it right. Thank you for being here and have a nice day.
