I remember the days of sitting in my office preparing for the next event or lesson and I'd get that feeling. You know the feeling.

The feeling that makes you wonder, "am I making any impact for Jesus?" 😟

Those times were the days that I felt the most defeated. I felt all alone. I wonder if you've ever felt that way?

The best way out of that feeling was to be in community with others. Community with people that understood the ministry I served - even if their context was different. 🤗

If you're feeling that way. If you're looking for community. If you want to be reminded of why you started and that you're not alone - then we'd love to help you.

We have cohorts. We have coaches. We have resources. We have countless ways that we can remind you that you are in fact, not alone. And your ministry is meaningful.

Check out the comments for ways that we may be able to support you.

May you be filled with hope, joy, peace and love that comes through the birth of the baby Jesus.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
- Isaiah 9:6

Traditions. We all have them.

Traditions are the rhythms of life that become meaningful moments, no matter how large or small they may be.

What traditions do you have? Where or when did the tradition come from?

As we end 2020, don't forget to use whatever budget money you have left! 💸💸

What better way to use those funds than to make yourself a stronger leader? 🏋️

What do you dream for in the ministry you serve?

What would it look like for you to breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the ministry you serve is truly reaching its full potential?

How do you define success?

From the beginning of YMI, we have believed in the importance of community.
-
Not the kind of community that creates a sense in you to perform, but the type of community that youth & children's ministers need.
-
We believe and support the idea of a genuine and authentic community for youth & children's ministers. You have enough places that you have to "appear" to have it all together.
-
You need a place where you can be "off the clock."
-
Over and over again, our alumni says that the thing they loved the most about us is the community they experience. And the love and encouragement they encounter as part of one of our groups.
-
So, where are you finding this kind of community? Maybe we can help!

Looking for community? Ideas? Inspiration? Training?
-
We're launching a new 12 week cohort in January, just for you! 😊
-
This cohort will be topic-driven and community-focused. You'll meet new friends, hear from pros, and walk away after each gathering feeling inspired!

Ministry leadership is about more than just students, good ideas, and passion.

You may have begun in youth ministry, believing that you only had to lead students. This is a common misunderstanding.

Have you ever tried to be a leader for the parents of your ministry?

Have you ever seen a fellow staff member making poor choices?

Have you ever struggled to get your youth council, parents, pastor, volunteers, or church council on board with an idea?

Maybe you've preached a dynamic sermon and felt like a great leader only to have that feeling squashed by a complaint.

Or maybe the finance committee is making it difficult for you to get an increase in your budget.

It’s exhausting. And that’s why you may have already seen leaders come and go.

Some burn out, while others have moral failings.

You don’t want that to be you.

You can be a HEALTHY, DYNAMIC, and LONG-LASTING leader! Begin growing today as a leader by enrolling in Leadership 101!

Best yet, for LIMITED TIME, you can get 50% OFF the course!

You began in youth ministry because you felt called by Jesus, and you love teenagers. 😀

You're working hard to develop your weekly program with fun games and meaningful relationships.

You hope that is enough, but life has a way of challenging this way of thinking.

Have you ever faced a difficult question? Or not know how to talk about God with a student during a challenging life moment? 😳
