A little self-promotion

You probably see a lot of familiar names in the pages of Group Magazine, since it draws articles and ideas from the big guns and from youth ministers all over the world. In the current issue, look for the Rookie-- an article on page 97, "How to build a network of community experts" is a piece I wrote while I was still working in Michigan.

A quote I'd forgotten putting in there: "There's a suffocating lie going around that says as youth pastors, we should have an answer to every crisis, a solution to every problem, the ability to make any event happen, and a Bible verse, song, game and object lesson that can apply to it. I say no. We don't need to know all these things ourselves; we just need friends who do."
