The Morning After Ministry Show

It is birthday week for both of us Tim turned 31, and Andrew turned 36…we are aging, but at least we’re not as old as Doug Fields. We talked about the birthday weeks we had and then dove into some ministry highs and lows.Andrew had a great week. There was tangible momentum in multiple places in the church. He got to fill in with the youth ministry, and endeared himself to some of the older people in the church.Tim had a rough week, there were tech issues, and halloween trumped youth group plans. We talked about youth group when trick or treat falls on the same day as halloween.

Today’s show started on an innapropriate note, and didn’t get much better as we went on! Last week we were asked about embarassing things we said while preaching, so we kicked off the show with that, and boy did it set a tone!We played a few rounds of a new game we have that is available in the DYM store that is all about halloween candy. It is available here.https://www.downloadyouthministry.com/fact-or-fiction-halloween-editionThen we dug into some new teen vernacular including: “sweaty” (which is a good thing), “spilling the tea,” “YGG,” and another common slang taking over the Fortnite world that we had to bleep out.We talked about the new sermon series that Andrew’s church is in, and how Tim s having his upper classmen share testimonies each week.We ended the show by talking with our friend Todd Jones about his new book Jesus Colored Glasses. It is available here. https://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Colored-Glasses-Seeing-Worth-Doesnt/dp/0998487651We have a new resource in the DYM store called Neighbor.

Despite the Jags horiffic defeat, Tim was is good spirits, and remained loyal dressed in his Jags gear. We opened talking about what we meant to talk about last week…newbies. Tim’s church just did a newcomers lunch. Andrew’s church gives out mugs, and one of his former youth ministries had a separate lounge area for new comers. We discussed what worked well and hasn’t worked well in welcoming and assimilating newbies.Andrew had baptism Sunday. Two young men were baptized and then welcomed into the membership of the church. Unfortunately, his tie also dipped into the baptistry, and then dripped all over the front of his pants. Everyone laughed and his feelings were hurt.Andrew is praying at the City of Safety Harbor’s city council meeting tonight. We talked about being involved with civic events and causes. We also talked about the angles we use to make our sevices and events look fuller than they are.This week we welcomed a new sonsor to the show, Sea Salt & Oil Company.

For the first time in what feels like forever, it was just the two of us this morning. Get this. We actually talked about what our past wek of ministry looked like, it sounds like a great concept for a show. Both of our churches our in church-wide campaigns. Our sermons and small groups are linked up and studying the same thing. Tim’s church has also incorperated the student ministry into their campaign. We talked about the pros and cons of this structure, and discussed how long a model like this could be sustained. We also talked about what to do when you’re a little less excited that other in your church are about a campaign or series.Tim’s student ministry is going on a winter retreat/ski trip this January and opened up sign ups this past Wedneday. He pulled a page from Frank Gil, and offered a special one day only price and included a hoodie with all first day sign ups. The trip was completely sold out in 12 hours!We have a new resource in the DYM store called Neighbor.

We are back from DYM200, and it was refreshing and exhausting. It was so wonderful to meet first timers and reconnect with some of our favorite people. We LOVE being a part of the DYM community, but we both got reality checks as soon as we landed. Both of us had extensive dad duty, and we were both preaching just a few days after we got home.We did two shows last week, and the timing was a little trick because of the schedule of DYM200 and being on the west coast. If you missed episode 35 with Dr. Jim Burns, you can watch here:https://www.facebook.com/morningafterministry/videos/236147863917010/or listen here:https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-35-balance-in-ministry-little-bit-sorcery-dr/id1349907674?i=1000420524060&mt=2If you missed episode 34, you can watch here: https://www.facebook.com/morningafterministry/videos/1150387505114492/or listen here:https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-34-missing-a-sunday-pre-dym-200-falling-on-the-sword/id1349907674?i=1000420524061&mt=2Today we were joined by former frontman, current worship leader, and all around good dude Ryan Squitieri. Ryan has had some incredible experiences in the music industry, and is using those experiences to shape the way his church and especially the students and young adults in his ministry think about worship. We talked to Ryan about the state of the Christian music industry, his life as a new Bible college student, and what the church is doing right with worship. We have a new resource in the DYM store called Neighbor. It would be wonderful for any volunteers coving youth group while you are at DYM 200 or NYWC.

Show NotesEpisode 33: Preachy Teach Stuff and a Life of ModerationOver the weekend we had the chance to participae in the 2nd Annual Church Safety and Liability Conference. We moderated a pannel discussion with people who were far more serious, and armed, than we were. Andrew shot a bunch of people in simulator that went through different church safety scenarios. It was determined that he should never have a gun.This morning we got to talk about some of the thngs we have been preaching lately. A few weeks ago we were both preaching the same sermon at the same time on a Sunday morning. We have worked together and collaberated on youth ministry sermons for years, but this was a first. We were literally texting eachother at 7am Sunday morning to make sure our messages were as good as they could be. We talked about modifying teaching resources to better fit our personal preaching styles, or a specific ministry context, and had a fun discussion in the facebook comments about how long a sermon should be. We all agreed that 900 words was too many. We have a new resource in the DYM store called Neighbor. It would be wonderful for any volunteers coving youth group while you are at DYM 200 or NYWC.
