- We’ve landed
Yesterday Megan and I made it to San Diego with about an hour to spare. Our plan worked out perfectly! We were able to drop off all the stuff from the car at the new house just in time to head to the airport and pick up Kristen, Paul, and Lovely as they arrived from [...]
- YMX Acquired by YS
Today, at 4:47 PM EST it was official. My mouth has been shut for weeks since I couldn’t talk to anyone outside of my family about the deal with YS. But it is now done and I couldn’t be happier. YMX partnering with YS is, in my opinion, the perfect place for YMX to fit [...]

- How to handle online conflict
I manage an online community of very opinionated people. Some people are very conservative while others are very liberal. While the majority are very reasonable and deal with their disagreements very well, there is a minority of people who simply cannot handle themselves.
And so the leaders step in. 99 times out of 100, merely the [...]

Normally I don’t pay that much attention to what we make on Google ads. But early this morning I was checking some account balances and I noticed I received a payment from Google Adwords.
I logged into my Adwords account to see some stats and such and then I looked at the payment. More than 30% [...]

In the last two weeks Twitter has gotten extremely popular among Youth Ministry people. The two biggest Youth Ministry companies, Youth Specialties and Simply Youth Ministry put their Twitter accounts in this weeks newsletter. (YMX was ahead of them by a couple months on this one!) And it seems like every youth pastor around is [...]
- Youth Ministry Ad Network
Maybe you’ve noticed that there is a small block of ads on the right side of my blog. What is that all about?
Patti & I have been thinking of a very focused, very profitable (for both advertisers/bloggers) niche` ad network for youth pastors for a long time.
Essentially, our goal with it is to connect the [...]
- PZ Myers vs. Ben Stein
Patti just told me of “an interruption” during a media conference call with Ben Stein about his upcoming movie, “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed“
Apparently, PZ Myers was not invited to the “invite only” call but gained access to the access code through someone else. Patti will be writing about it more soon, but here is her [...]
- Managing an Online Community: Flames are bad
A couple days ago I talked about how an online community had gotten under my skin. To be honest, the only reason I ever went to the site was to read the 40+ comments they had made about the baptism video we released last year. What type of site was this? Well, it doesn’t seem [...]
- You Matter to Your Schools
This was just posted over at Youth Ministry Exchange. Here’s an excerpt:
Here’s a thought that will blow your mind. The God of the Universe chose you to help him build the church in your town. Here’s another thought to give you some perspective. The God of the Universe has an enemy, Satan, whose deepest desire [...]
