One of the age-old debates in youth ministry is, "Do we take the summer off?" I have always landed on the side of NO! As a matter of fact just last week I asked some of my students if they would like to have an intentional "leadership" group over the summer. Crickets. Then came the [...]You just finished reading How To Effectively Change Up Your Summer Youth Ministry Schedule! |

Great leadership is as simple as a cup of coffee. I was reminded of the reality of this statement recently when I went on a java run for my staff. When I entered the office with four cups of joe I was greeted with joy, excitement and appreciation.

A couple of months ago the ministry I work for decided to use the NJ Long Branch Marathon as a fundraiser. At first I didn't think much of it. I'm not a runner. As a matter of fact I am an asthmatic who is beyond athletically challenged. This race was for my husband to complete, [...]You just finished reading Youth Ministry & The Art of Running the Race...! |

The cool thing about this experience is that its being led by our Senior Pastor, and he views this as an opportunity to disciple 20 or so people for a few months leading up [...]You just finished reading Youth Ministry Leadership: Who Do You Trust? ! |

All programs and trips have short comings in youth ministry and one of them for student mission trips is that parents are not involved. Mission trips are better when parents work hand and hand with youth workers. In Helping Parents Connect, Doug Franklin outlines how parents can be involved in their students' mission trips before, during, and [...]You just finished reading Youth Ministry Mission Trip FREEBIE: Helping Parents Connect! |

Worship is More Than Music... We all want to create a space where our students can meaningfully connect with God. It's why we expend so much energy on things like transforming summer trips, engaging Bible studies, and relational retreats. It's also why sometimes we send an unintended message to our students...
