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.

Fav Read Of The Week:

“Why Bible Study Doesn't Transform Us” by Jen Wilkin

• This isn't a youth ministry post, but man, I thought it was dead on. It's completely relevant to what youth workers are up against when teaching the Bible to students. Definitely worth a read. 

The Rest Of The Best:

• Ben Read—“What do you expect out of students in your Youth Ministry”
• Chris Wesley—“How To Analyze The Year”
• Doug Franklin—“Boring Christians”
• Gavin Richardson—“What to do with Graduating Seniors?”
• Jim Burns (via Josh Griffin)—"The Parent/Youth Ministry Partnership"
• Jonathan McKee—“Four Foundational Summer Priorities”
• Kara Powell—“How to Be More Creative. Good News: You Already Are”

That's all the links for this week. As always, have an awesome weekend . . . And THANK YOU for the chance to serve you as part of the ym360 community.
