SNL Season 38: Funniest Skits So Far…Part 1

We are TEN episodes into SNL’s 38th  SEASON and they are just about to wrap up a 5 week hiatus on Jan 19 with host Jennifer Lawrence and musical guest Lumineers. Adam Levine hosts on Jan 26 with musical guest  Kendrick Lamar. You’ve got to hand it to SNL, they always try to be one step ahead of the curve with their musical guests.

As guys, we naturally suck at keeping in touch with people we care about so fantasy football provides a great way to do that.

One of the most daunting tasks of a Student Pastor is to make sure their students continue their faith after high school. The stats are not hard to find, but I’m too lazy to look them up. But they’re there. And it’s staggering. Calling it an epidemic is not out of place. So the obvious question is why?

I’ve had 3 posts sitting in my iPad for 2.5 months. Here is one regarding Xalt’s Sumemr Mission trip to Buffalo, NY…

5 Indispensable Books for Youth Pastors

There are literally a ton of Student Ministry books and resources available. Maybe that’s because in our profession we deal with all sorts of situations and people. With so many to choose from it can be overwhelming and confusing. Nevertheless, if your Student Ministry bookshelf could only hold 5 books, these titles should provide a well rounded scope on some of the most common issues:

5 iPad Apps For Youth Pastors

I prefer the words Student Pastor or Student Ministry, but that has yet to catch on in the “Youth Ministry” world – I’ll save that for another post. So until then, here are my 5 MUST HAVE iPad Apps for Youth Pastors (As of June 2012):
