70: Bow Ties, (root) Beers & graceful exits Jun 17, 2019

Show notes

Is there anything more exhausting than VBS week? Andrew’s church pulled ut all the stops for a week of evening VBS with dinner for the whole family every night. The huge payoff was that most of the families came back when the kids were asked to sing on Sunday morning. It was the biggest non Christmas/Easter turnout in the two years Andrew’s been the pastor.
We debated whether or not Father’s Day gifts were worth giving out to dads in the congregation. We talked about the pros anc cons, and got some great examples of gifts and some good reasons why churches do or don’t give them out. Andrew’s church gave out bottles of Dad’s Old Fashioned RootBeer with M&M’s attaatched to look like a bow tie. Tim’s church did nothing. But Tim did seal Andrew’s last rootbeer.
Tim had a church member take him to a baseball game to tell him that they were leaving the church. We talked about the best and worst ways we have had people leave.

69: Pre Service Shenanigans, VBS Weeks & Social Tweaks Jun 10, 2019

Show notes

Nothing like getting a devicive text moments before church started. That’s what happened to Timmy yesterday as he was gathering for prayer with several people from his church. Fortunately, he was given a neat little surprise from the youth team at about the same time, balancing out the see saw of a morning.
It’s VBS week at Andrew’s church. We discussed best practices and a few youth ministry hacks for a week when everyone is stretched super thin. Once again, a pastor’s social media usage was brought up. We talked about leveraging people in the church’s joy on social media, and how to discuss the topic with multiple generations and ideologies.

Andrew sent something innapropriate to an elder…from his wife’s phone. It was hillariously awkward. We talked about accidental texts and how to recover from them.

66: Extra Hours & Part Time Powers May 13, 2019

Show notes

Ths morning we jumped into the show by talking about the extra hours we both pulled this week to make Mother’s Day happen as well as the other events happening at our churches. Andrew’s church had a VBS workday, and Tim and his elders have their first week without a scheduled meeting since early March. Andrew’s church, on the other had has not had an elders meeting since February. We talked about the amount of meetings that were necessary, and elders giving space or taking reigns of decision making.
Tim is creating a job description for a part time youth pastor. We discussed the different qualities and limitations that we’d look for or expect in a part time role. Then we closed out the show by asking how much involvement was appropriate for a lead pastor to have in a student ministry. I

Show notes

Ever had someone question what you’re posting on social media? Ever had an elder accuse you of flaunting your wealth? That’s just a bit of what we talked about today. Also, Andrew hates Phil Wickham.

62: What Just Happened Apr 15, 2019

Show notes

What a week. Andrew was in Texas for the DYM100 Texas tour, and Tim was having a series very difficult meetings back home. Both of us were preaching this week for Palm Sunday. Tim preached a sermon based on a Mark Driscol sermon series called Vintage Jesus. Andrew preached a sermon the Doug Fields gave DYM members in January called Questions for an Incredible Journey.
We played a game that Anthony Taylor made during the DYM 100 road trip, based on preachers and sneakers, called Payless or Paymore.
Tim discussed some of the difficulties of his week, and promised to fill us all the way in on the decisions being made in a few weeks.

61: This one is LONG...Live from Doug Fields' hotel room Apr 09, 2019

Show notes

Today Andrew was joined by a friend of the show, the one and only Ronald Long. Ronald is the middle school pastor at Wayside Chapel in San Antonio. He also hosts the greatest middle school ministry podcast in the world, Talking Squirrels. Since we are in Texas for the DYM 100, we needed a place to record, and Doug Fields offered up his hotel room. So that’s where we set up.
We talked about the ministry days we had, with Andrew having to finish a message after a crazy busy weekend, and Ronald needing 20 minutes of fill time at the end of the message. We talked about longevity in ministry, and how to get the most out of conferences and events.
