It's almost Turkey Time! I love me some turkey. In the midst of preparing messages about being thankful, it's easy to forget to cultivate a heart of gratitude ourselves. Today I share five ways to make your church more thankful for for you and five ways to cultivate a thankful heart.

Some episodes you just have to let roll, and this is one of those episodes. My guest, Jason Mayfield, and I talk about money, ministry and side hustles because many youth workers do not make a fair wage for their labor. You could use a few extra bucks in your pocket and we want to give you some ideas for that. Jason is a minister, and entrepreneur and a Youtuber and has some great thoughts about being a professional and using what gifts and talents God has already given you make money on the side. Among other ideas, Jason makes the suggestion of MLM's (Multi Level Marketing) as a possible money maker, but he offers some serious advice about doing it. Jason is involved in an MLM but does not mention what it is and doesn't pitch to click a link, etc. I am not part of an MLM and that is just my personal choice, I have plenty of friends who are so there is no judgment from me. You do what is comfortable for you. Because we went a full hour, and we took some rabbit trails here and there, here's a guide to help

The goal of this episode is to make you smile. To do this, I brought my friend Steve Case in to talk about humor and joy and to talk about his new book Great Moments In Biblical Flatulence. Yes, it took 89 episodes to get to fart jokes in youth ministry, but here it is. You're welcome. I'd love if you left some stars and a review. Let me know what you think.

Greetings!! Glad you're back. Are you just "surviving" your youth ministry? It doesn't have to be like that. In today's episode I share my thoughts on youth meetings, why kids are really leaving the church and how you can change that. One apology: I totally forget the closing music.

It's going to happen. If you work with teenagers, there is going to be drama and how we handle drama will make all the difference in how the situation turns out.

I know I said I was taking a few weeks off, but I created something that could give you the best year in youth ministry you have ever had. The new year is coming and you might be thinking of being a planner, but don't. You don't need a planner, you need a playbook! Planners are great if you want to write dates down, but can a planner show you the right questions you should be asking and at what time of year you should be asking them? The answer is no, at least not for your youth ministry, that's why I created one for you. The playbook is filled with articles, calendars, fill in the blank assessment sheets, a teaching calendar and much more. To check out the video I made where you can actually see the planner, head over here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiiF-ctShW4 To buy the physical planner, go here https://gum.co/kjqOJ To buy the pdf, go here https://gum.co/diYvb I am still in flux as to what do about the podcast next year. First, I'd appreciate your prayers. If I am meeting a need, I certainly

You know that time your car got stuck in the mud? Who did you call How did they get you out? They probably brought a big rope or chain, tied it to your car, hit the gas and yanked you out. That's exactly what this episode is, a friend with a rope to pull your stuck youth ministry out of the mud. If you're interested in the Seth Godin article I took this idea from, here it is https://seths.blog/2018/01/stuck-on-whats-next/ If you want to get unstuck and stay unstuck, try a coaching mastermind group in 2019. https://gum.co/Zvak

Greetings all. I hope you had a fantastic week! If you're thinking about youth camp already, you are in the right head space. You have to book speakers, plan dates, etc, and today's podcast is what I think makes a great camp speaker. I have been speaking at the same camp for the past 15 years. I have also been the one who has had to book the camp speaker or band, etc. It's not that I think I am the greatest camp speaker, but what I think makes a great speaker and trying to embody these things. If you're interested in having a conversation about how I can help you impact students at your next camp or retreat, send me a message here http://thediscipleproject.net/book-me/ If you are interested in catching my liveThursday broadcasts over on Youtube you can go to youtube.com/jediforhire and subscribe.

It has happened. is happening or will happen. That parent is not going to like something you are doing and you are going to have to deal with it. In this episode I share a few thoughts on being empathetic towards parents while maintaining the vision of the youth ministry.

If you have small groups, you have small group leaders. Do the small groups leaders you have care? They may care enough to show up and teach a lesson, but how do you get them to care beyond that? That's what my friend, Chad Higgins, from Youth Ministry Booster came to chat about today.

Adversity is not a fad but a fact of life. We all have it at some time or another, but do we run into it or run away from it?
