What is this?

Join us every Friday at 2:00 PM Eastern Time for a LIVE conversation between me and many other youth workers from around the country. Together we talk about anything and everything pertaining to “life in student ministry” and you’re invited to join the conversation! Although we occasionally set the topics beforehand, often we leave it up to you to chime in, ask for input on an issue, share your advice with others, or just tell us about something exciting in your ministry, all LIVE!

This show seeks to discuss “whatever is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen” (Eph. 4:29).

About me: I am married to my beautiful wife, Dana, and together we live in Minnesota where I serve as the youth pastor at our local church. The opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of my church. More about me...
