Two posts in a row about a silly website? Sheesh. Anyway… Since a bunch of people at YMX used Saturday as a "shutdown day" and statistically Monday’s are the slowest day for the site anyway… I took full advantage of that to give YMX a fresh new look. I’ve been wanting to do this for…

Tim Schmoyer, formerly of Dallas and now a resident of the great state of Minnesota, mentioned YMX in a post called "Top 5 websites I use for youth ministry." He gave us a nice description… but the keyword for me is "use." It does us no good whatsoever if we have a nice site that…

The popularity of our current series on YMX, Sex, is coming to a close. I’m proud of our authors and their willingness to talk about tough topic from a God-centered perspective.

Derek and I have felt like we needed to do this for a long time. We’re going to be championing the raising of some funds to help youth workers who are in need. We’re not trying to "be the church" so much as we want to "be the community" that goes beyond the local church’s…

So far this month we’ve published a number of "sexy" articles. All of them represent a quantum leap in the quality of content that we’re offering. I spoke to a member on the phone Sunday afternoon who described YMX as "a collaborative effort far different from the typical youth ministry site." That’s a great compliment…

We’ve actually had a nice response to this… YMX has gone into the web hosting business. So, if you need a host for your blog or would like to get your own www.yourdomain.com for whatever else, check out YMX Hosting.
