…school and junior high school students. God didn’t mistakenly put you in the position you hold – He created it for you in this moment. In the busyness of the now-extended tree lot season, let’s not forget our shared passion for our students and this thing we call youth ministry. JG Related posts…
Coping with busyness is a subject often spoken about here in Orange County, so it’s no surprise that messages – about pace of life, living for something bigger than yourselves, and what happens at the end of it all -should come as no surprise in this culture. But this weekend pastor John Ortberg…
…will be plenty of times when we dont have time, but using the I dont have time excuse can come across as if we think that our busyness is somehow more important than the busyness of those requesting our time. So the next time youre tempted to speak one of the unmentionables, dont mention it. (First published…
…complaining about them. 2) From Anti-Busy to Anti-Trivial: There is today a cottage industry of lament around busyness in youth ministry. But it's far too easy to give blanket condemnation to all busyness. Busy is not the problem. Not living by our deliberate priorities is a problem. I'm pretty sure that Mother…
…growing and the impact of our YouthBuilders continues to influence a number of people. However, if I am not careful, I can get so caught up in the busyness of life and ministry that what looks good on paper is only one more responsibility to check off my ever growing "to do" list. Possibly you are like…
…good things for our teens to be involved in. . . as long as there's still time to relax a bit and do things together as a family. But the summer busyness sometimes gets so extreme that cell phones might be the only way for their parents to track them down in the midst of their chaotic schedules. The…
It is difficult to manage your time in youth ministry. We move from periods of intense busyness to insane busyness. Often our family is caught in the crossfire of our calling, and on occasion we push aside what is most important for what is most pressing. Talking with a respected friend this week, I…
…Ministry in this model, a youth group that has students out every night of the week is a successful one. The emphasis here is on attendance, where the busyness actually pleases church parents and keeps the elders off your back. People are always secondary to programs.

Hands: Spend some time this week getting away from all the busyness of your life and take some time to worship God. Then try using the song No Air to share your faith.

…- but also a shelter, a hiding place, and a strong tower. What about you? Where are you searching to find your hiding place? Some look for it in busyness. Almost as if texting while surfing while listening will drown out the guilt and pain from the circumstances around you. That might be a temporary…
…wrong, I also see Gods hand on our ministry. Even tonight I was so aware of all the kids who are being helped and reached. Nevertheless, all this busyness and lack of focus with our marriage is causing me to question if we should even have kids of our own. They would never see you, and the strain of…

…audience. One of the dangers of always being on is that until you turn it off you won’t look deeply into your own life. I wonder sometimes if busyness and others-focused-to-a-fault is to protect the real me from coming to the surface. You sacrifice those that matter most Always being on robs from…
…some reason again I sit here on a Friday afternoon completely exhausted. Help me to keep learning balance and to find your voice in the midst of busyness. I’m excited to not just “work” some extra services this weekend, but take the time to celebrate Easter and the great love of God this weekend…
…the beginning of the series people used a response card to suggest possible topics where they needed some direction or help, so we had conflict, busyness and then ended with relationships tonight.
