Ms. Allison Elizabeth Williams, 36, of Seymour, lived a life of ministry and was a source of infectious joy to those around her. She was loyal, playful, passionate, and smart. Opinionated, yet humble. Through acts of bringing joy to others with simple gifts from the Dollar Tree or showing up for life events, Allison embodied how to live in Christ and how to be Christ to others. She first learned to be this example through the witness of her parents, Ted and Lisa.Allison was a graduate of Johnson University and served Seymour for fifteen years, eleven of those years at Reddington Christian Church. With her creativity and love for youth ministry, she joined DYM, serving thousands of youth workers around the world. As a second parent for "her kids" she always protected and pushed them to be and do better. She encouraged them to step out of their comfort zones to be witnesses, and at the end of every lesson she would say, "Carry this and teach all your friends."She now has the view for which she worked her entire life!Allison met her Savior on Monday, January 20, 2020. She was born in Knoxville, Tennessee to Ted and Lisa (Jarrell) Williams. She is also survived by her; brother, Nathan (Desiree) Williams; nieces, Fiona and Elsa; aunts, Julia (Chris) Warren and Ruth Jarrell; cousins, Kevin Morris, Mary (Robert) Park, and Paul (Beth) Jarrell as well as several great nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Roy and Annette Jarrell; paternal grandparents, Theodore and Florence Williams; and uncle, Robb Jarrell.(Shared from Allison’s Memorial Page: https://www.vossfuneralservice.com/obituaries/Allison-Williams-3/#!/Obituary Listen to Allison share as a part of the National Youth Workers Convention Women in Youth Ministry Panel: https://s3.amazonaws.com/…/Break+Out+-+ALLISON+WILLIAMS%2C+… Sponsor to this Episode: I Still Believe (In theaters March 12… Take your Group!!)https://istillbelievemovie.com/ Sponsors:DYM University.

On Thursday, September 26 news went public that I am leaving my church. You may be saying, “WHAAAAAAA?” Fortunately, this is not your normal “Youth pastor got fired/ burns out/ can’t get along with his/her church” story. Today’s episode in Three Acts to share my story of making one of the biggest transitions of my life:ACT 1: The Announcement – A reading of my letter to the Church family and friends (with some wicked sweet music underneath – slightly too self-important – but give me a a little latitude y’all; it’s been 23 years!)ACT 2: The Explanation – There is no back story on this all in the sense of anything toxic, bad blood, etc., but there is a fuller story than 5 paragraphs can unfold. I take a little time to lay out a timeline dating back three years in how I see God preparing me for this move.ACT 3: The Interview – My good friends Andrew Larsen and Timothy Miller from The Morning After Ministry Podcast asked me a ton of questions about this move. Including a big one: So what now with this podcast?

Welcome to a different type of episode. In Time Capsule Epsiodes, I’m going to either go back to a specific year and share experiences, or pick out a highlight from every year since I’ve started, then give you my top 3-5 of each of those years. To start it off, I’m going deeply theological and heavy in ministry with… MOVIES. These are my favorite movies from each year I’ve been in ministry, and in the end I narrow it down to my top 5.You can see the entire list at: http://www.mythirddecade.com/23-years-23-movies/ SIGN UP FOR 30 DAYS OF DYM GOLD MEMBERSHIP, and help my wife and I get three days away to California!!!!
