Posts From Other Awesome People

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.

• Youth Ministry Stuff--Are you missing SYMC? This great post from Tim is all about how you can enjoy my favorite youth ministry conference in the world from your home! Thanks, Tim.
• Being Ministry--Great post by our friend Paul Martin about "outcome based" youth ministry. Thought provoking stuff, as always, from Paul.
• Youth Ministry.com--Three simple but really useful leadership lessons from friend and ym360 Contributor Doug Franklin. Short and sweet!
• Welcome Backstage--Noah writes a really cool post on the great work that can be done by younger and older youth pastors working together. Good stuff.
• Jesus And Teenagers--Benjer explains the "We Know Best Problem" we have in youth ministry. LOVE this post.
• Learning My Lines--Walt Mueller continues to provide some really useful insight on how to deconstruct Lady Gaga's message and her place in youth culture. As I have said before, your students are listening to her, or are at least aware of her. I believe it's valuable to know how to help your students discern GaGa's message.
• The ADD Youth Pastor--For the second time in recent memory, Andy gives a really good tip on a tool to better organize yourself when it comes to youth ministry. Thought this was a post a lot of people could relate to.
• REyouthpastor--This is a GREAT post by friend and ym360 contributor Jeremy Zach about the art of asking great questions. Jeremy thinks so well about these things. Good stuff.
• Communicating Clear(er)--Sam writes a great blog post containing the 1 Key to healthy youth ministry. I think Sam is right on.
• Adam McLane--Really liked this post by Adam about how we motivate students.

That will do it, folks. As always, have a great weekend . . . And THANK YOU for the chance to serve you as part of the ym360 community.
