Happy new year! I haven’t posted much on the YLHelp blog recently. I’ve passed along most of my ideas and resources on Instagram (@ylhelp) and Youtube (youtube.com/smcgever). But, I also (finally) finished my PhD in Historical and Systematic Theology (it is strange to be called Dr. McGever now – my […]

It is late on a Monday night. We just finished our kickoff dodgeball event after several weeks of contact work. A week from tonight our traditional clubs will begin again. For many of the clubs in my area we will be turning to the Gospel of Mark for our club […]
Hello friends! I hope your winter “break” has been awesome. I had a great time with my family and got some good chunks of time for the (hopefully) final edits of my PhD in historical and systematic theology before I have to submit it and defend it (in person) in […]
Hey there friends, I haven’t been able to post as frequently as I’d like. I’m in max-hustle mode especially as I try to finish my PhD thesis by January (fingers crossed). But, I’ve been cranking along as I normally do making things for my club and my area that might […]
Turnip for what! One person on the internet slightly smiled at that joke. That person will love this club. A little while back it was difficult to find ideas for clubs. Now there are lots and lots of ideas to be found. Because of this I don’t post many club […]
Hey there! It is game time for Spring club plans to come together. Game on. I thought I’d pass along our template for our Spring semester planning meeting this Monday. (File HERE, tips on how to run the meeting HERE, other ideas HERE) I also wanted to pass along the […]
Hey there YLHelp friends, Happy New Year! It has been a while since I wrote the last post. I have been busy on lots of projects which, when they come to fruition, will hopefully help lots of YL friends, I’ll give you the scoop when they are ready. Also, in […]
This club might not make sense if you don’t have a Dutch Bros Coffee in your state. Basically in a lot of states on the west coast Dutch Bros is a rapidly growing coffee shop. Since I don’t drink coffee (never liked the taste) I have no idea if it […]
For our first club of the year we did “The Tonight Show Starring Pinnacle Young Life”. We were able to create a fun graphic to get the word out (S/O to Felipe Contreras!), did a few new songs, had a club kid learn the piano music to “thank you notes”, […]
This is a great club that overlaps with great contact work. It takes a few weeks to put together but can grab the attention of new people too. It is based around the old game show “Family Feud”. Basically you aim to survey 100 students on several different questions and […]
It may be counter-intuitive but we had our first club of the year, after Dodgeball and Taco Bell All You Can Eat Club, be “Top Secret” club. Normally you don’t want club to be a secret, but this top secret club was not secret at all. The part I was […]
Need an easy homerun? Then try All-You-Can-Eat Taco Bell Club. Whether you are trying to start a new club, need an easy event, or just a break from the usual stuff, this is a fun one. In a nutshell, I’ve found over lots of years that if you call a […]
