Last week, I was with nearly 40 experienced and diverse YL staff from across the country. I hijacked our meeting to conduct a bit of a survey. My instinct is that prior to COVID, many people were moving away from traditional club plans. Since our return from COVID my sense […]
6:55 Club Plans
I haven’t written or posted much on YLHelp because, well… I haven’t had much help to offer. The good people at YL Leader Blog have done the heavy lifting – thank you! I hope the reflection below might be helpful in one way or another. Yesterday, I met with a […]
I’m sure your semester plans are off and running. Mine are too. Maybe this will help… Semester Plans My team and I have put together all of our plans for the semester. I thought I’d pass them along in case any of them are helpful for you, might spark your […]
Your club semester probably already started. Mine did. I thought I’d pass along some of our plans: Contact Work After staying rooted in Christ and prayer, the most important part of our work is contact work. My clubs are working through a shared Google Sheet so that every leaders has […]
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 […]

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 […]
