So, you said the “e” word at youth group, and you have gotten a combination of reactions that include: confused looks, “deer in the headlight lookaways”, and just downright fear. Now what. What strategies do you use to make the Gospel a priority in every youth group meeting? 1. Share […]
Droid RAZR user review
I heard a hilarious summary.of the Droid RAZR from a friend today… “It looks like it is designed for teenagers and guys whose wives think they work waay too much..” Ouch.
The Best Part of #SYMC… Connecting.
We are officially three weeks out from SYMC (Simply Youth Ministry Conference). I have really enjoyed reading about different youth workers that Darren Sutton features on his blog. Some I have met, some I hope to this year in Louisville. Connecting is my favorite part of SYMC. There is no […]
iPad came today…
Was going to do an unboxing, but ran out of time… Free stuff is good stuff…
So, do the free stuff sites work?
I get questions a lot about the free sites I do (like this one), and whether they work or not. The answer is yes, but with some conditions… 1. You have to do your homework. Read Reviews. Not all are created equal. None really have a great reputation, but some better […]

Tech that will boom in 2012, and Tech that will bust in 2012…
It is the time of year to look at what went big in 2011, and what went bust. Here are five technologies that will continue to grow in 2012, and five that I believe will be all hype with little substance. Five that will boom: 1. Any device with Android […]
