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 […]

As I mentioned earlier, I was planning on using Periscope on Tuesday nights at 8:30PM (AZ) to share some ideas about doing club talks through the Gospel of John, one chapter per week. The main reason is to help leaders in my area (and they have been using it, yippee!), […]
It is that time of year when many of us run to the internet to try to find new club songs. I was on that quest myself when I got an email that saved me loads of time. Musician and YL-music-rescue-man S.Martin contacted me and said, “Sean could you use […]
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”, […]
You might know by now but I like going through the gospels for club talks (and campaigners… see here and here and here and here). See those links for all the reasons why I like it. This year our area is going through the Gospel of John (again… we did […]

Wait for it… Wait for it… Wait for it… BOOM! Club, campaigners, contact work, meetings, meetings, meetings (REPEAT). As a YL leader we know how to crank out these things and more to serve the purpose of sharing the great news of the gospel. But, if we aren’t careful we […]
I always tell people Young Life began out of two developments. I will tell you one of them: prayer. There is a lot that can be said about how Young Life was saturated in prayer right from its beginning, consider just these few entries from the diary of Jim Rayburn, […]
Anyone who knows actual living, breathing, teenagers is well-aware of their social media consumption. It is high, really high. It is tool of life for us all. For YL leaders it is a tool, an important tool. Note that it is just a tool. I’ve tried to capture some of […]
Over the summer I normally try to post a couple things that I learned over the previous school year. If you want see the series as it has developed over lots of years then click here. If you have anything you learned from last year that you would like to […]
