Chance are, you are having a team meeting very soon to catch up and plan a ton of stuff. I’ve attached what we did last week with our team. What do you do at your team meetings? What works? What doesn’t? Team Meeting Kickoff Agenda
Not to toot my own horn or anything, but this blog has been a huge encouragement to me and others. I’ve been able to connect with other leaders, and also develop friendships with people all over the world. Some YL people, some friends of YL, some that are not involved […]
We have had such a hard time with campaigners over the years. With the busyness of kids and leaders it is so hard to get another night out of them. I know lots of clubs fight through this and win (even the club right down the street from us). Yet, […]
This year we started an official campus club. There are a couple reasons why. First, official campus clubs can use the facilities free, that help a ton. Next, this allows us to be on campus more and even do announcements. It also allows us to be at things like freshman […]
This year I completed a Master of Divinity degree. It took a lot. A lot of time, a lot of money, a lot of reading, a lot of writing, a lot from my family, a lot of everything. Yet, it was all worth it. I was rather serious ,even before […]

For six years I have coached basketball at Pinnacle High School. I love basketball. It is so much fun helping this way. It has helped me make great connections with the school and the administration. It is well worth it. You might think that I have a lot of club […]
If you are heading off to camp one thing you absolutely must do is get in a one-on-one with each kid. This can be the most meaningful time not only for them, but for you. It can be intimidating to sit down and have a conversation with them. So here […]
We head off to camp in just a few days. Most speakers will provide a couple questions at the end of their talk for cabin time. Some will go further to tell you them in the leader meeting. Some will even give you a handout with all of them on […]
