- 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 [...]
- The Road Trip from Hell Winner
My students know that I love a road trip. There is nothing quite like climbing into a church van and driving to a destination. So a few weeks back YMX decided to have a contest to find out “Who has the worst road trip story?”
It turned out that my NYWC buddy Chris Wyatt of South [...]
- An introduction to Youth Ministry Exchange
I know a lot of people who are a part of my life don’t really know anything about “the other” part of my life. That is, my role at Youth Ministry Exchange. I say, “it’s an online community for youth workers” and I recognize that it doesn’t mean anything.
Well, our friends at Gospel.com were [...]
- 3 Teen Pregnancy Resources
Every once in a while we get a great string of synergy at Youth Ministry Exchange and we really hit it out of the ballpark with solid resources.
Today we released 3 different resources on teen pregnancy.Life After Birth (bible study for new moms)

- The YMX blog
For a few weeks now (eternity in my library of ideas) Patti and I have talked about having a YMX blog so that our blogs weren’t quite so clogged up with stuff about the company and/or youth ministry stuff for others.
It’s not that we don’t love youth ministry or youth workers coming to our site, [...]
- You Matter
Yesterday we kicked off a series of articles at YMX. Let me tell you why I’m excited about this series. It is practical, between the eyes, encouragement to youth workers.
One of the main goals of YMX is to be an encouragement to the Youth Ministry community. So I have been asking our forum moderators and [...]
- YMX: Something on the side
Over the last few weeks I’ve had several people ask me about Youth Ministry Exchange. I don’t mean people from the community, I mean people from Romeo.
So here is the scoop.
Back in November-December 2005, I created a website with some friends of mine. It’s an online community for people like me… people who do youth [...]
- The Blog Snap: Sometimes You Can’t Hold It In
I know exactly how Chris Folmsbee feels. Chris is Chief Ministry officer at YouthFront and President of Sonlife. He’s a class act guy and is an excellent leader.
Part of being a leader is sticking your neck out. And Chris has done that. He put the nail the coffin of a great, but dying youth ministry [...]
- Ad network launches
For at 6 months I’ve been toying with an idea that launched today.
Networking youth ministry bloggers is nothing new to me. In fact, back in 2004-2005 this led to the creation of the “YS forum members blogring” which later morphed into what is today Youth Ministry Exchange.
As I’ve gotten to know much more about [...]
