As schools across the country have started back and fall is in the air, youth ministers around the country are shifting their thinking to campus ministry. If you are a youth minister and you do not have a presence on your local school campus you are missing out on a […]
Fundraising: Thinking outside the box
Guys I wanted to share something interesting with you. I recently made the jump into full time vocational youth ministry. It has been an awesome transition and I plan on doing a series of posts on how to transition smoothly and set both churches up to win. When I arrived […]
Social Media and Youth Ministry
What’s up everyone! Been awhile! My last semester in college has been a tough one and I’ve been contributing over at Ministryplace.net so I haven’t been fresh on ideas. Today we are traveling to Paoli Peaks IN for our annual Winter Blast snow tubing trip. Something stuck out at me […]
Back to the Future…
Happy New Year! 2014, who would have knew? I figured, after watching Back to the Future, when I was a kid by 2014 we would have hover boards and dehydrated pizza by now! And where is my self-drying jacket?? Another New Year means looking ahead, looking at the future if […]
Volunteer Impact
I love football! I really do. When I was in high school I hated football. I was in the marching band and to me the football game was just the pre and post show to the bands half time performance. I viewed it as a bunch of dumb jocks pounding […]
Where do we go from here?

Youth Ministry Budget and You
What’s up Rural Ministry world! This is my first post as a featured author on MinistryPlace and I’m pumped! At the same time I’m scared to death! I think, “What does this country bumpkin from Western Kentucky know about anything?” Then I remember that I am but a voice crying […]
Youth Ministry on The Cheap: Free PowerPoint Game…
Here’s a freebie to give away. It’s a Powerpoint game that I made. It’s called A&B because well those are the two options. It’s just random questions to get the students going. I included the PP, the Jpeg’s, and a editable PP so the readers can add their own questions […]
Product Review: LIVE Apologetics
The guys at Simply Youth Ministry have done it again! They recently released the new LIVE Curriculum Apologetics study. What an awesome and much needed study. Most teenagers have no idea how to look at things from a Christian worldview. This study will equip them to look at things from […]
Failure!
So the other night at youth group, as we were wrapping up and I was breaking down our setup, my wife comes running over from our main worship building frantic. She blurts out, “I can’t get into the church building there is a snake in the way.” You’ve never seen […]
