Episode 18: Time Management in Youth Ministry

In this episode about time management, Mark says "You can make more friends, you can make more money, but you can't make more time." Jess defines time management as "the means and methods to manage your time," but we know it's never that simple. Jess and Mark discuss tips to manage your time well and warns us what happens when we don't accomplish that goal, and then uses a <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/61815c9d58be9e6fd166a5f5/t/6675df2d9388dd5cb4475f77/1719000877924/Priority+Time+Management+Matrix.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Priority/Time Management Matrix</a> (free sign in required) to help us understand and manage those things that seem to fill our schedule, and clarfies the axiom "Another person's urgency should not become my emergence."

Episode 17: Enlightening Students in Youth Ministry

In this episode, Mark and Jess outline the steps to enlightening students in your ministry, comparing and contrasting training, educating, indoctrinating, and developing. Training is defined as teaching or developing other skills or knowledge. Educating means to give instruction or to teach, train, or inform. Indoctrination is teaching someone to accept a set of beliefs without questioning them. Development is the process in which someone or something grows or changes to become more advanced. Training plus education equals development.

Episode 16: Safety in Youth Ministry

Hopefully, we all have a place where we feel safe. In this episode, Jess and Mark discuss how to make youth ministry a safe place, discussing physical, emotional, and spiritual safety. Situational awareness, being aware of what's happening around you, is the key to physical safety. If there's a fire, for example, do you know where to go, where the exits are, and if they are kept free of clutter so you can use them? Is your parking lot well lit? Have you done a walkthrough to evaluate and plan for emergencies? The pair talk about emotional safety, focusing on empowering, connecting, and correcting in a way that sets youth up for success through authentic relationships built on common language and correcting out of love. Finally, Jess and Mark discuss spiritual safety, with the emphasis on Biblical accuracy while building trusted relationships. Check out the Iowa Christian Youth Network (<a href="https://icyn.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">icyn.org</a>) for resources to help you ensure YOUR ministry is safe.
