Hello, friends. Like most of you, we’re about to hit our busiest stretch of the year. Joel is at Jr. High Summer Camp, Sara’s going to be in Africa for three weeks and I leave a week from today for a 12-day stint in Bolivia.
In light of our crazy schedules, we’re taking a two-week break from the show. We’ll be back on July 10th with another great (though Sara-less) show. See you then!
This week welcome Tim Schmoyer to the show as we catch up after a week off, talk about documenting your summer events and how to handle firings in youth ministry.
Hello, friends. We’re all pretty busy this weekend, so we weren’t able to record at our regular time. We’re gonna try to record early next week, but there’s a chance you just may have to go a week without the YH podcast. Hey, give us a break, it’s free!
A Song to Discuss – Jonathan shares some reservations about “How He Loves”, a song I’m sure many of you are singing with your teens. I’ve considered playing it in our services, but I’m a bit hesitant. What do you think?
Copyright Misconceptions – Ever wonder if you’re violating copyright law by showing film clips at your church? This article is a must-read.
Don’t – This fantastic New Yorker editorial highlights the ability to defer satisfaction as an indicator of success. Is this something we should teach our students?
New in Highrise: Twitter Integration – My favorite web app gets a little bit better. This could be especially useful if students in your ministry are using Twitter.
