Yesterday, we we went public with a decision to end Youth Ministry Exchange after about 5 years. For the last couple of years it has been trickling and trickling… and so we figured, “Why not just have a celebration of life and let it pass now instead of letting it go from 200 members per…… Continue reading Thank You, YMX

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…… Continue reading YMX Acquired by YS

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…… Continue reading The Road Trip from Hell Winner

Today we released 3 different resources on teen pregnancy. Life After Birth (bible study for new moms) What Juno Didn’t Tell You What Does Juno Teach Us…… Continue reading 3 Teen Pregnancy Resources
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…… Continue reading The YMX blog
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…… Continue reading You Matter
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.
