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.

• Brian Kirk--Love this post from Brian. It's a great idea! "Great Youth Ministry Idea: You Teach Me!"
• Doug Franklin--Take three minutes to read this and let it REALLY sink in. Very awesome thoughts from Doug on "Avoiding Mountain Tops."
• Doug Fields--Super short, super valuable post from Doug entitled "5 Actions Of A Good Small Group Leader/Shepherd"
• Lars Rood--This is a very transparent and personal post from Lars. My hunch is that many if not most of us struggle with this very thing. Check it out: "Missions As A Crunch."
• Paul Martin--Thought provoking post from Paul (seems like I am always writing that, which is a good thing!) entitled: "Church--The Biggest Empty Space."
• Phil Bell--Love this post from Phil entitled: "Youth Ministry Management: How To Get Stuff Done, When Stuff Is Piling Up."
• Rachel Blom--OK, so, this is a long post. But I thought it was SO valuable. It's entitled "Training and Informing Your Leaders Using Evernote." It is a manual on how to use this awesome (and free) software to train your leaders. I am an Evernote disciple, so this post was right up my alley. Nicely done, Rachel.
• Robbie Mackenzie--Robbie is an awesome youth minister. He's also a great writer and this post is flat out funny. I found myself nodding my head throughout the entire thing: "Hand Shake Do's and Dont's."
• Youth Ministry.com--Kurt and Josh nailed this one. 3 simple ideas on "Training Volunteers."
• Youth Specialties--This is such a great list! "10 Ideas To Help Kids Practice And Experience Spiritual Disciplines."

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.
