Youth Group in Russia
Yeah, don’t even think about trying that in the States. Just curious how safe it is for all those people to be on a nice snowy roof!

Garden Birds
As much as we like gardening, we also love the ancillary things that a garden attracts. One of those things is our hummingbirds. There are three birds living in a nearby tree. The male sits on his perch most of the day, observing the garden. Besides watching them feed from my morning writing spot– I…

Time Lapse Video: Backyard Hummingbirds
A few weeks ago we hung this little hummingbird feeder. We were amazed to discover that the hummingbirds (who nest in a tree in our backyard) discovered it within hours. Maybe it makes me sound old or stupid? But I don’t care. I love watching these amazing creatures in my backyard. And I love watching…

The Volunteer
I’m a big fan of this video. I think it turned out great. And I think its a great compliment to the first one we released a couple weeks back. The most loudest people in youth ministry tend to be the people who do it as a profession. But I think we’d all agree that…

I have the coolest job in youth ministry. I get to do what I love, connecting with youth workers around the world and I get paid for it! At the core of it this video demonstrates the 2 things I love most about working at YS. Tic lays out the heart of why we do…
