Club Talks
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 […]
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 […]
For the month of May I’m picking up a tradition I had for quite a while on YLHelp: A list of things I learned this year related to YL. My post from last week is HERE. If you would like to see my previous posts CLICK HERE. The “So What?” […]
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 […]

I’ve heard lots of great feedback from people who decided to use the book of John for club talks last semester. I’m glad it has been helpful! My good friend Joey and AD in North Phoenix (such a good friend I’m sure he won’t mind the picture of him and […]
I am part of a team that trains the student staff in our YL region and I was talking to them last week about the book of John. In our region we are focusing on the book of John this year. One of the unique features of the book of […]
YLHelp reader Dan from Quad Cities, Indiana sent me this great resource for club talks. It also includes questions and ideas for campaigners for the same topics. Here are the talks included in this resource: Who Do You Say That I Am? Matthew 16:13-16 Jesus and H20. Matthew 14:22-33 Attempt […]
