Breaking the ice – using icebreakers in small groups
(Grahame writes about using icebreakers in small groups and as group building/participation activities before teaching. He shares 10 icebreakers in the post.)

MySpace Session Notes
(Josh posted the PowerPoint show of his workshop for parents on MySpace as a free download.)

Thou Shalt Not Kill, Except in a Popular Video Game at Church
(A New York Times article. I was actually contacted by the author for an interview, but none of my content was used. No big deal. Still raises a great issue.)

Youth perspective on youth ministry
(I agree! We treat youth with a double standard. When parents want their son to mow the lawn, it’s because he’s a man, but if they want him home by dark, it’s because he’s still a boy. The church does the same thing.)

My problem with youth ministries
(Katherine’s attitude is misplaced, but her perception that the church needs to expect more from young people is totally correct. In my opinion, ministries tend to only go as deep as the spiritual depth of its leader, including youth ministries.)

Guy tries to reclaim someone else’s foot
(Wow, how random is this?! Listen to this radio interview. Via Justin)

    Tim this is a random thought. But have you ever thought about offering an option to help promote some of your different ideas/ topics for people to post on the blogs/ websites? Like you did for the 130 Youth Ministry Tips and Ideas eBook? It’s an idea. I for one would be willing to host links on my blog to point people your way. I don’t know if it’s a great idea or not. Just thought I would throw it out there for ya.

    Holy crap! I think that’s Sling Blade’s brother!

    That’s gotta be one of the funniest, and yet strangest, radio interviews I’ve ever heard. Mmmm Hm…
