When I get asked to present or teach I'm always really stoked. I've been a youth pastor for a long time and there are some things that I've learned the hard way or that I've stumbled upon that I think are really helpful for people. I'm well aware that there are a ton of great people out there who should be given opportunities to teach. I'm always hopeful that in the midst of my seminars that I give enough opportunity for engagement so that people who show up can learn from each other.
The National Youth Workers Convention is this weekend in Nashville. I'll be there with my team and teaching a couple different seminars.
This year I'm teaching a couple of different seminars. The first is the same title as my book coming out with Zondervan in September and is called Youth Ministry on a Shoestring: How to do more for Less,
The second one is a new seminar I'm leading and I'm really interested in seeing how it works. It's called Large Staff Youth Ministry Leadership. I'm not sure how this one is going to go yet because I'm wondering how many people who have leadership teams like this will want to talk about it. I'm hopeful that this seminar will be an interactive time where the group can talk about best practices and how we all do it. I'm guessing that you if you lead a large staff you are probably an expert in it already so I'm hoping to get some of these folks together to bless each other.
So for anyone who has no budget, has had budgets cut or just wants to brainstorm with others how to save money come join me Saturday from 8-9:30am.
If you've got a large staff and want to talk with others about how to lead that team join us on Sunday afternoon at 4pm.
great stuff Lars. I look forward to seeing you and hopefully discussing and engaging in the budget issue with you and others, while spooning BBQ sauce in my mouth
Dan. It will all be great including BBQ.
Typed with my thumbs. Typos guaranteed.
