More About the Author
Jason Carr has been working in student ministry for 15 years with some incredible organizations. For almost 10 years Jason served on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ with the student ministry called Student Venture. In his roles with Student Venture, Jason started as a campus intern leading a weekly outreach meeting and also led weekly small groups for students. Jason became the campus director at a high school campus and was in charge of leading the ministry at that campus. That meant leading the volunteers, gathering community interest and support as well as investing in the families and students involved. A few years after taking that role, Jason became the City Director for Student Venture, which gave him the opportunity to lead a full time staff team, a team of volunteers, student leaders as well as directing the ministry in the area. All in all, Jason has the opportunity to invest and influence thousands of students through weekly meetings, outreaches, small groups, camps, conferences and other events. Jason had the honor of leading a ministry that had moved away start back up and establish itself as a strong presence in the community. Over his time with Student Venture, Jason also led some mission trips to take students overseas- he had the opportunity to lead trips to Romania and Bulgaria. He also pioneered a partnership with FCA and some local churches that led to a fruitful season of ministry together.
After 10 years on staff with Campus Crusade, Jason transitioned to a new season. In this season he continued working part time at North Point Community Church with the student ministry. He also started writing monthly for YouthWalk magazine, a publication of Walk Thru The Bible Ministries, Inc. Jason wrote monthly leader guides to help student pastors who use YouthWalk as curriculum. He did this for over 3 years and still currently writes monthly music reviews for YouthWalk.
About 5 years ago Jason joined the full time staff at North Point Community serving with the student ministry. In his 5 years at North Point, Jason has been instrumental for helping implement and lead a new culture for volunteer leaders who serve in the ministry. The number of volunteers and students has more than doubled since Jason and the team began to implement some strategic and systematic change in the season 5 years ago. In his role, Jason has been responsible for leading over 100 volunteers who lead small groups of students. Jason has been in charge of recruiting, training, development and the care and accountability of those leaders. Jason has also been a big part of getting high school students plugged into the environment- since he has started the number of high school students who serve has increased by dramatic proportions. Jason has also helped his team by communicating, hosting, and helping lead the environment over the last 5 years. He has also been a part of the writing and development of leader training and curriculum for students.
Jason is also the author of "HALT! DISMOUNT AND BE RECOGNIZED." HALT is a book about life's journey that has been written to be a tool to be used by small groups. The book has received some great feedback; most importantly some small groups are leveraging it to have some life defining conversations about God. Currently Jason is writing his next book called "LEGACY" which is a book about leading small groups.
In the last 15 years, Jason has always had a small group of high school guys that he has led weekly. These have been groups of guys who gather every week to spend time talking about their faith, leadership and their influence in the world. Through these groups, Jason has had the opportunity to mentor generations of students. Jason has helped officiate the marriages of many former students; he has also continued to be a presence in the lives of many students as they move on from school. In honor of his leadership of generations of students and the legacy he has left, the ReThink group presented Jason with "The Orange Award" at the Orange Conference in 2008. This award was presented because of his continued influence in the lives of students and families.
It's that influence and experience that has led Jason to start his own company called "Legacy Now." Legacy Now exists to lead the leaders who lead students. After 15 years of leading students, Jason is qualified and ready to invest in other leaders who have the desire to do the same thing. Having worked with 2 completely different, yet both very successful and renowned ministries, Jason brings a unique pedigree to any leader. His ability to help other leaders discern how they can be the best they can be is a gift that he is hoping to leverage to help partner with leaders to help influence the next generation.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great read for individuals or groups,
By Connor (Milton, Ga USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: HALT! DISMOUNT AND BE RECOGNIZED (Paperback)
In Halt!, Carr does a great job of taking typical events from his life and turning them into easy to read passages that show God's influence. Issues that we all can relate to are presented and this book does a great job of putting them in perspective. It definitely helped me to take a different approach with certain things in my life. Jason has a great gift of using metaphors to get his points across.This book also has discussion questions scattered throughout the book that are ideal for working with small groups, song recommendations, and Bible verses that go along with the topics.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Encouragement,

This review is from: HALT! DISMOUNT AND BE RECOGNIZED (Paperback)
Jason's book is a wonderful encouragement in the midst of living through the details of everyday life. Jason's authentic faith is lived out in this book for all to see. There is no subject Jason is afraid to address and because of that we are able to connect and engage with God in a fresh way. If you are a student this is a must read! Wish I had this when I was in school. No matter what age or stage of life you are in this book will bless you. Pick up a copy and one for a friend. You will not be disappointed!
5.0 out of 5 stars
