One of the last pieces of our youth Maundy Thursday worship service. Prayer seems like an appropriate thing to do on this Holy Saturday. After washing the disciples feet, after eating the Last Supper, Jesus finds himself in the Garden of Gethsemane, doing what he often does: praying. He prays for us, his disciples, knowing […]
A Maundy Thursday Meditation: The Last Supper
This is another part of our worship service from last night regarding the Last Supper. It seems fitting on this Good Friday. On this night we remember the meal that Jesus gave us, the meal that we celebrate every week. A piece of bread, a sip of wine. This is the body and blood of […]
A Maundy Thursday Meditation: Washing One Another’s Feet
I wrote the following for a portion of our youth’s Maundy Thursday worship service. We based the service off of Bonhoeffers famous quote, “When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die.” We tried as best we could to make the worship service feel like a funeral and tried to tie in the […]
Annual and Monthly Youth Ministry Reports

A few of the things he talks about are: Incentives – He says that incentives oftentimes lower people’s participation. Are […]
Review: Francis Chan’s Crazy Love DVD
Although I don’t know very much about Francis Chan, I do know that he seems to be getting a lot of press lately. His recent gig as one of the keynote speakers at the National Youth Workers Convention has also thrust him into the forefront of many youth ministers. His Crazy Love DVD is supposed […]
My Dream Youth Ministry Communication Application
No, it doesn’t exist yet, but I wish it did. If any super web-savvy people (who also happen to have a ton of money or can get people to invest) could pull this off, they could make a killing off of this idea for an application. It would be especially helpful in youth ministry but […]

Podcast Episode 0.2: Church Marketing Part 3
This episode proves the third time is not the charm. I think this is our worst podcast thus far, so if you have better things to do, skip it. We thought about not posting it at all, but in the spirit of transparency, authenticity, and not yet having the next podcast ready to go, here […]
