We search the Internet to bring you relevant information to help you be a better youth worker. Here are some links from posts we thought were pretty great.

• Doug Fields, "5 Ways To Build Support Into Your Marriage": Such a great post on marriage. Short and sweet with some solid advice. Worth your time, for sure.
• Jonathan McKee, "5 Tips to Get Your Teenagers Talking": Jonathan McKee wrote this post on Doug Fields' blog. It's a really, really good post for parents but could also be applied to small group leaders, as well.
• Josh Collesano, "What Emerging Leaders Need To Excel": This is some really strong perspective from Josh on what leaders can do to help the emerging leaders they lead excel. Good stuff.
• Josh Evans, "Student Ministry Event Idea--Geocache": I have had friends who geocache. It's a cool concept. But I have never thought of it as a youth group game until now. Great idea!
• Lantz Howard, "3 Reasons Why We Don't Ask Meaningful Questions": Love this post from Lantz. Short and sweet.
• Matt Reynolds, "It's Awesome When Students Minister To Each Other": Loved this from Matt. Revealing and insightful. A quick read and a great story.
• Phil Bell, "Advice For Students Looking Into A Youth Ministry Career": I thought Phil was dead on here. A great post to pass along to any student in your life who feels called to youth ministry.
• Rachel Blom, "How To Motivate Your Volunteers For Youth Ministry Training": Practical and insightful article from Rachel. Great tips here.
• Youth Ministry Media, "Infographic: 2011 Year In Review": I loved this so much. Visually appealing, socially revealing. Great infographic.
