I sat down a few weeks ago, once again, to try to dig up some new club songs. Then it hit me. Why am I doing this? I realized that YL recently chose the most talented people to pick songs for clubs. These people were at YL camps last summer […]
Leader Links
As I’ve done in the past, I’m writing a series of posts to capture a few things I’ve learned about leading Young Life and Wyldlife in the past year. I’m adding something new too. This year, I’m adding an extra section to include things I’m working on right now. I […]
My YL team has a lot of new leaders and junior leaders. To add to that, we have another club joining with us temporarily while they re-strengthen their club. All that to say: we gots lots o’ people on our leadership team. But, they don’t all know each other super […]

I hope your year is wrapping up great! You may have noticed that I haven’t been posting frequently on the YLHelp blog. There are a couple reasons for infrequent posts. I’ve been communicating ideas, resources, etc., quite a bit on Instagram (@ylhelp). I have also been finishing up my PhD […]
Many of you are quite busy and won’t read everything below, so here is a summary: Jesus is miraculous (in the past and now); however, when we teach Jesus’ miracle stories in the Gospels, we usually miss the real point: they are signs of Jesus’ divinity (proof that Jesus is […]
YLHelp’s aim is to provide resources for leaders to be in relationships. Relationships aren’t scalable, resources are. YLhelp exists to save leaders time so they can be with people. Perhaps nothing is more time-wasting than locating chord sheets and making PowerPoints/Keynotes for club. Do the math… Young Life has currently […]
Have you ever wanted to know more about a specific word in the Bible, what it meant in the original languages? For some people, the answer is: Nope! But, for others, the answer is: Yes! Give me more! In Young Life, we speak the language of teenagers. It is a […]
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 […]
Recently I started trying out Snapchat Geofilters for YL events. If you don’t know what Snapchat is… just ask a teenager, they will tell you. If you don’t know what a Geofilter is… see my last sentence. Briefly, Geofilters are location based graphics to add over Snapchat pictures. For a […]
For most of the summer I have had limited access to internet, on assignment, and sadly, not able to post at all. However, I have some exciting news to share with you. My wife and I have published a new resource that might be helpful for YL leaders; it is […]
