Episode 50: Playing Hooky and Un-Holy Matrimony. Jan 21, 2019

Show notes

We love all of our sponsors, and are especially thankful for what DYM University is doing in our churches. We are so glad we get to play with them! https://www.dymuniversity.com/?ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dymuniversity.com%2Fa%2F10517%2FLoZRyZ9P
This week both Tim and Andrew are at home, in their offices, while the rest of the pastors in the Evangelical Covenant Church are at a conference in Denver. We talked about the reasons we decided to sit this year’s conference out even though it stinks to miss it.
Tim talked about the new series he started at Decrease, their weekly student ministry program. He is teaching through Bless-ed, a series Andrew wrote for his church last summer. We talked about the work that goes into making a teaching resource originally written for adults accessible for students. We also talked about what we do when a leader doesn’t show up.
Tim got to have dinner with Spencer Sowers and his family last week, and it was an instant love connection. We talked about the bond of youth workers, and how crappy Tim’s vans gas mileage is.
We wrapped up the show by discussing the weird and wacky wedding that Andrew is doing next week. It has kazoos, bubble wrap, and a plethora of balloons. Should be a fun one.

Episode 49: Freebies & Burning Trees Jan 15, 2019

Show notes

What a week it was! We both took advantage of great freebies in ministry. Andrew got to take his leadership team out to a fancy dinner, and Tim got to take his wife to Universal Studios! We talked about theme parks with students, and the pros and cons of annual events.
Tim burned a bunch of trees with his youth group, Andrew started a series on Daniel, and spent a bit too much time talking about eunuchs. It was and eventful show…

Last week we were talking about how this would be the last show of 2018, and we wanted to do something fun. We reached out to our frineds in the DYM podcast network, and boy did they deliver.

Episode 46: Christmas Pranks & a Whole Lotta Forehead Dec 11, 2018

Show notes

When we showed up to record today, we couldn’t hep but to ntice that Andrew’s office had been transofrmed into a winter wonderland. The students at his church broke in last night and covered every surface with wrapping paper, sticky notes, balloons and Christmas lights. We talked about the imprtance of a senior pastor being approachable to the students in the church.
Tim’s parents joined his church last year, and yesterday his dad, who was a pastor for 20 plus years, was the guest preacher. We talked about the win of having your extended family involved, and some of the boundries that need to be in place.

Episode 45: Advent, Youth Events, Pop up tents... Why not? Dec 04, 2018

Show notes

Advent season is upon us, and our churches have already been busy. We’e had church wide activities, family ministry get togethers, and we’re just getting started.
We discussed about starting a new Christmas series, and finding points of application from stories that we all know so well. Andrew started a series on the four Fear Nots of the Christmas texts with Zechariah yesterday. Tim is doing a similar series with his students on Wednesday nights. Then we talked about the difficulties of doing Christmas services as the pastor’s family, especially if someone is sick.
Andrew brought up a dilema…a lady from a Bible study hit his car in the parking lot. The estimate is close to $1000 to fix a hole in the bumper on a car he paid $1800 for. We discussed the best way to move forward.
We talked about what to do with Christmas teaching, since every year we need fresh content. We discussed repeating messages, finding new content, or just changing application and illisturations. If you are looking for any Christmas teaching or game ideas, we have a ton of Christmas resoyrces in the DYM store available here. http://bit.ly/2BuDVni

Episode 43: #NYWC18 FOMO & Other Acronyms Nov 21, 2018

Show notes

It sure was hard to NOT be with all of our friends this week at NYWC in St. Louis, but we each had some great ministry experiences and family time. But we miss our DYM peeps.
Andrew spoke at Tim’s youth group, and the weatherman made us change some plans. It’s hard to be at a bonfire when it is 82 degrees, but the students were excited and it was a great night. Andrew also wrapped up his church’s Jonah series. We talked about stretching series out and when to shorten or legnthen a series.
We had a question from one of our listeners about when to start pursuing another ministry position if yours is unhealthy. We talked about how to stay and how to leave well. We also talked about reasons worth leaving over and reasons to stick it out.
Our newest DYM resorce came out last week. It is a Thanksgiving resource on Luke 17 that comes with everything you need for a full night of programming, including a message, small group, and a game. Thanks is available here. https://www.downloadyouthministry.com/thanks-complete-programming-package

Episode 42: Origin Story & DYM Best Practices Nov 12, 2018

Show notes

What a fun show we had talking about some of our favorite subjects: ourselves and Download Youth Ministry. We figgured that after 10 months and 41 episodes, we should let people know how we met, how we became friends and what role DYM has played in that relationship.
After sharing a bit of our story, we talked about our newest resource that DYM has released. It is a Thanksgiving resource on Luke 17 that comes with everything you need for a full night of programming, including a message, small group, and a game. We played a bit of that game “Jimmy Fallon’s Thank You Notes Volume 2” on the show. Thanks is available here. https://www.downloadyouthministry.com/thanks-complete-programming-package
Next we talked about the best practices to create usuful stuff for DYM and to actually get it published. Fortunately for us some of our favorite people and DYM authors were watching and added in their own tips and tricks.
