Just Stop It Already!…

by: Brent LacyPosted on: September 9, 2014September 9, 2014

“Why do we do this ministry every year?” “Well…kinda because we’ve always been the ones to do It?….” We have all had that conversation in our churches. There seems to be that one ministry in every church that is a sacred cow that happens every year only because it happened […]

A Rural Church Millenial Story…

by: Brent LacyPosted on: September 4, 2014September 6, 2014

There was much to do over the release of the 2012 SBC Annual Church Profile statistics a few weeks ago. One of the most staggering stats was the fact that the SBC churches baptized very few or no Millennials or Youth in 2012 (the latest year we have statistics for…). I was […]

Getting the Whole Story OR the Meaning of MT on Twitter…

by: Brent LacyPosted on: August 1, 2014September 6, 2014

I was reminded of a very important fact the other day. The importance of taking the time to get the whole story before acting on a situation. I had a story happen in a meeting with my new agent from an insurance company that I have dealt with for many […]

The Importance of Families in Youth Ministry…

by: Brent LacyPosted on: July 30, 2014September 6, 2014

The longer I serve in Rural Ministry, there are a few things that I have seen that catch my attention and scream their importance. One of these important factors is the role of Family in youth ministry. If you asked 100 youth pastors if they believed that it was vital […]

4 Lessons from the Bible Found on the Farm…

by: Brent LacyPosted on: June 17, 2014September 6, 2014

We live in a world where context is vital to our understanding. One of the reasons our society struggles with parts of the Bible is that it is set in an agrarian context. Jesus and Paul  used that backdrop and crafted wonderful illustrations. Let’s look at a few and “recast […]

Vacation…

by: Brent LacyPosted on: June 8, 2014September 6, 2014

  Wayne Yeager did an awesome job with a series of vacation-related posts last year, so I will spare you the repeat. I will however, encourage you to read some of his posts this summer. Great stuff. The longer I am in ministry, the more value I see to taking […]

A melancoly kind of day

by: Wayne YeagerPosted on: May 14, 2014May 14, 2014

Forgive me.  I’m a bit melancholy today. You see today is my last day as a youth minister.  I will continue on in ministry, but I will serve as the lead pastor of a church.  I look forward to that challenge.  It is what God has called me to do.  […]

by: Wayne YeagerPosted on: April 16, 2014April 16, 2014

So, big news in my world:  God has called me to be a senior pastor. Now before you throw tomatoes at me and swear I’ve turned to the dark side, I want to share my story.  There may come a time when God will call you to a different ministry […]

NCAA March Madness, BYU, and the Youth Group???….

by: Brent LacyPosted on: March 17, 2014

In all the buildup to last night’s NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament, I heard an interesting point in on one of the local sports radio stations. They told the story of the “BYU Rule”, where BYU has made a school policy to not play on Sunday for any reason. The NCAA […]

Staying ahead

by: Wayne YeagerPosted on: March 6, 2014March 11, 2014

Remember MySpace? When I first started in youth ministry, MySpace was all the rage.  In order to connect with students, you had to have a MySpace page to link up with students.  I even had a weekly MySpace blog to share with students about our ministry.  (Yes, I was the […]
