About
This is a blog where I hope to help YL leaders. We need easy access to info so we can focus more time on relationships. I hope this helps.

I am a YL leader in Phoenix, AZ. I am a nerd and went to ASU and have a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I worked in plastic injection molding and have lots of fun stories about that (seriously). I also was a Product Manager for a great company in Spokane, WA, which was rad. I graduated with an M.Div with a Leadership focus from Phoenix Seminary. I have also done some post-grad work at Fuller and Wheaton Graduate Schools. I am working toward a PhD in Theology with the next step being a MLitt in Bible and Contemporary World from the University of Saint Andrews. I love my family, my high school sweetheart wife and my three super kids. I like to play golf, coach high school basketball (go Pioneers!), play basketball (go me!), and read a lot. I’ve also done a lot of skits and thousands of people have seen my belly jiggle. I’m trying to quit that.

thank you so much for this web site whoever you are this has really helped us so much thank you!
I love the website, great job. It will be so helpful for leaders!
hey there, I just wanted to let you know how awesome this web site is. I work for young life here in Nanaimo BC Canada and I just discovered this web site today and it absolutely blew my MIND! I can’t wait to show the leaders tomorrow at our leaders meeting. Thanks so much this website is so valuable!!! Keep it up!
Love the site, great idea. Was looking at your “contest” page and was wondering if you had a solo shot that you could send me of the malibu 07 shirt, I really like the design.
rap battle words doc. You have this? I need asap. Thanks!
Hi! This site is really fun and helpful! My team and I have had a lot of laughs – One big question:
I really like the layout for your club plans. How can I find something like that or how could I use yours??
Thanks!
Brooks, thanks! The layout is just stuff from Microsoft Word. I started posting pdfs but quickly switched to Word documents so people can just edit them to their liking. So just find one that is in Word and edit or delete as much as you want.
I am a volunteer Young Life leader in San Diego. We are beginning a bible study at a new high school (no Young Life exists yet).
At our bible study we are looking for an exciting DVD resource that presents a 15-20 minute video of a topic. We would then break-up in boy/girl groups to discuss the topic. We weren’t crazy about the Nooma videos, but would like something similar that would allow are christian kids to go deeper. PLEASE HELP!!!!
We’d appreciate anyone’s suggestions. Please email me at urbbydog@yahoo.com.
Thanks!

Scott, I’d love to say I knew of a good one. I’ve searched high and low over the last few years, but I don’t think anything is really out there that I know of. I’ve thought a lot about it though. What would you be looking for in a set of videos? What topics, what format (interview, informational, stories?), etc…?
Great work on the site man. I love checking up on it to get ideas and resources for stuff. I’m on staff in Charleston, SC and wanted to share with you some videos we’ve made in the past few years.
This one in particular was pretty powerful at our banquet. Check it out if you’d like. It really shows parents why YL is good for their kids.

Keep up the good work!
Hey Sean- you know what would be awesome? Club flyer templates complete with humor bits, puzzles etc. downloadable into word, pages, whatever… just sayin’- any idea if such templates exist for YL? I’m always trying to find something funny to put on them…and it’s an enormous time drain.
Scott, I don’t have anything like. Its a good idea though! I suppose if I find some time I could put some together. I use Publisher for my fliers. What do you use?
Sean, love the site. Thank you.
I’ve got a great Tacky Prom Club plan if you’d like to post it sometime. I’ve just about perfected it over the last two year. email me at MatthewMoo33@yahoo.com if you’d like it. It’s always our biggest and best club! Thanks again.
Hey Sean, please email me, I wrote a comment about momentum in YL, but I don’t know if you ever replied, if so can you email me what you responded with. Thanks
Sean,
A few years ago, you had a link for a text-survey website that could be done at club. I poked around the site a bit, but couldn’t find it.
Thanks for this site. It’s a great resource!
