Healthy Youth Leaders: PRAY

by: Brent LacyPosted on: January 3, 2015February 12, 2015

I asked the following question in a room of 60 people recently. “How many of you are consistently praying for one of the other youth leaders or pastors in your community?” ONE hand. One hand went up. We have to pray for one another. It is beyond important. I have […]

by: Brent LacyPosted on: December 26, 2014February 12, 2015

In the last post in this series, we looked at what it means to be a healthy youth leader. The first element of youth leader health is a willingness to learn. I am not necessarily talking about college or seminary. There are some great programs and resources out there that […]

@perrynoble and 10 Convictions on the Church…

by: Brent LacyPosted on: December 19, 2014

Today, Perry Noble posted a list on 10 convictions about the church. Some of them I agree with, some I need to think/pray about before I respond openly. However, there are two things to learn from this list: 1) What are your convictions that you operate under? Are they fluid, […]

Since accepting my new position, I have accepted several speaking and training opportunities that give me a chance to pour into Youth Leaders. Honestly, this is one of my favorite things to do in ministry. I am doing a training in Illinois for Southern Baptist Youth Leaders at the end […]

Is It Too Late?

by: Wayne YeagerPosted on: November 21, 2014November 21, 2014

The church is dying. Literally. I don’t have a plethora of stats to back this up, at least not on the rural level.  I just use my own two eyes.  It doesn’t take a rocket scientist (or a statistician) to see that rural churches are aging and younger people just […]

by: Brent LacyPosted on: November 7, 2014

Last weekend, while we were out of town, my son saw another boy almost killed on a bicycle. There was nothing my son or the friend he was playing with could do to stop it. A car was driving what looked way too fast, the boy jetted across the street […]
