Youth Minsitry in 2018
This article is entitled “Smarter Youth Ministry in 2018.” I think another way to categorize it would be to say it is a guide to a more focused youth ministry. The idea here is to know why you do what you do and to do what you do really well. Do you have anything that helps you keep focused in youth ministry?

3WLN Podcast Episode 1
We wanted to try something new this year and I must say that the possibilities are quite exciting! We'd like to bring you a different kind of resource from the home grown variety. The idea is to have simple conversations recorded and brought to you in a podcast format. We hope these digestible segments give life updates about our participants and will help you think creatively about your own ministry contexts. Below you will find our first podcast with Alina and Jenja from the Ukraine. Their life update is quite exciting and encouraging! Take a listen and also glean from their experience of how a church community can come around a newly married couple.
Cultivating Artists in Our Churches and Communities

Pastoral Care and Mental Health
Here are two resources that both have to do with the Church’s response to issues of mental health. Do we as a church leaders have common practices on how or when to refer person’s with mental illness to health care professionals? Perhaps these articles will help you and your church prepare for the persons who are in and around your community who need someone to walk with them through issues of mental health.
