Simply Youth Ministry 2006-02-12T04:30:49Z The folks over at Simply Youth Ministry have begun the new year with a bang! A bunch of new products and a new Podcast (One word) I will be reviewing a few of the new products soon but I wanted to focus a bit on the podcast. You are all familiar with podcasts I'm sure, but in case you aren't, you can go here for a definition. The SYM podcast has been in existence for three episodes, the first a test that really was just three (then four) people clowning around for 30 minutes. The second episode (the official first episode) was fun and actually had some youth ministry content in it. Finally the third episode was released this past Tuesday and it continued the fun and humor of the first two episodes. Now, I have to give a disclaimer, I am a fan of SYM products and of the team. I didn't sign up for all of Doug's seminars at NYWC last October, nor did i drool over him when we were walking on the street together. I mean come on, he is just a regular guy with a family, problems and a lot of talent for training youth workers. So, I am a fan of product put out by SYM, but I don't set my schedule around what conferences Doug Field's will be at. He's cool, but I'm no groupie. Go and download these podcasts and get a little behind the scenes look at the SYM gang, and learn a bit about youth ministry while your at it. As they have said on the podcast, 1. you don't need an iPod to listen/watch, 2. It has enough youth ministry content to be considered work and 3. it's fun. If you happen to be a Doug Field's wannabee...you can buy some of his clothes on eBay. It's sort of a joke (see episode 2) but the cash goes to a charity. Until next time...

A new post for the new year 2006-02-12T04:17:15Z Well it seems as if I'll start posting again. I have been away working three jobs and haven't had the time to post about youth ministry much (well at all!). I do care about this site and am looking to get some more posts going. Bear with me please. Until next time... Author: pedter http://www.ayouthpastor.com peter@ayouthpastor.com

Merry Christmas 2005-12-27T01:40:26Z I wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas. It is my prayer that you all have had a wonderful day or several days with family and friends. I will post a few family pictures later tonight or tomorrow so you can see my daughter with er Elmo's she got for Christmas. (at least Elmo is better than that big purple dinosaur) Anyway, Merry Christmas and Remember to call your family if they aren't in town eating all your food! Until next time...

FREE!!!! 2005-12-12T16:45:55Z You have to like free stuff...or as out new youth pastor said the other day when I asked him if he wanted something free, "sure" to which I replied "I haven't even said what it is," to which he replied "I don't care as long as it's free" Don't we all feel that way sometimes...I had a bunch of promo CD's piling up in a closet from a local ministry and decided to give 'em away last Sunday to the MS students. Once I made the case that their were free CD's the students turned into ravishing monkeys or something. It was crazy...the artists were no names but I guess it was the fact that they were free that trumped anything. weirdos... Over at Simply Youth Ministry they are offering 12 days of Freebies and so far their is a Christmas countdown you can use. Until next time...

Mid week program 2005-12-12T16:45:55Z What do you think? Look at the forcast for this wednesday here in Colorado Springs... If school is cancelled, I think I will too, but can/should I cancel because we will freeze various parts of our bodies off if we do have our mid week? UPDATE: Mark from over at Mark Rodriguez sent this picture of his 6 day forcast from sunny Floida...one question Mark what is your address it looks like our mid week will be at your place this week :) Author: pedter http://www.ayouthpastor.com peter@ayouthpastor.com

Seahawks 2005-12-12T16:45:55Z As a lifetime Seahawks fan, I just watched the Monday Night Football game between my seahawks and the Eagles. I guess we know what bird to back in a fight now don't we...42-0 Seahawks! Until next time... Author: pedter http://www.ayouthpastor.com peter@ayouthpastor.com

Drop the Drip! 2005-12-12T16:45:55Z How many youth pastors love coffee? My guess is over 99%, I mean isn't it a requirement to? Does Starbucks call your name more than once a day? Didn't you take that class in college that developed your love of the bean juice? I know I did... Anyway, Senseo coffee Company is offering a promotion for a free Senseo Coffee maker. You know the one, with the pods and that brews the java in 30 seconds...now you can save time and money when you do their promotion. All you have to do is go to their website and take a photo of you throwing away your old drip coffee pot and pay for shipping and you are awarded a brand new $70 coffee maker that can save you various trips and cash that you would have spent at your local cafe. I did it and am just waiting on the shipping... Until next time... UPDATE: I just got the email saying I was approved, so it is on its way.
