Things Youth Leaders Need to be Okay With

If you’re thinking about working in Student Ministries, there are a couple of things that you need to be okay with. If you’re already hanging with students, this list might look a little familiar.

What’d You Just Call Me?

I’m sure we’re all familiar with the “Sticks and stones…” rebuttal to the name-calling that was so pervasive on the playground while we were growing up.

This is the total number of blog posts that have been written by the people/blogs that I have in my Google Reader feeder (rhyme much?). The most was by Josh Griffin (High School Guy @ Saddleback) who had 70 posts. The least was by Taffy (Student Ministries Worship Guy @ Saddleback) who had only 1 [...]

Rappers are not Experts

I love sports talk. And I actually kind of like political talk (when it’s not inagural season). I love listening to people argue with everyone trying to get the last word and prove their point. I’m not really like that, so I think I might somehow live vicariously through them.
