Episode 333: LIVE at Orange 2018 w/Sound That’s As Good As Rethinking YM’s Podcast

Today we dove into a subject that your students will no doubt be discussing in the weeks to come: 13 Reasons Why. The Show deals with suicide, self harm, and destructive behaviors that students are faced with. We have a resource in the DYM store called hurt. Hurt asks the questions “What is pain?” Why do I hurt?” and “why would God let this happen?” The series has been revised and updated to better serve ministries addressing the show and is available here. https://www.downloadyouthministry.com/hurt-series-13-reasons-why We had DYM author, and our friend Andy Juvinall on the show today. He has also written on the topic of 13 Reasons Why, and has a new small group and discussion guide in the DYM store that can be found here. https://www.downloadyouthministry.com/13-reasons-why-youth-guide We asked Andy what specifically about this show and this cultural moment made him want to address it. He talked about the cultural impact of suicide and suicide prevention movements, and the how the hope of the gospel is something that MUST be brought into the conversation. He talked about using the show to start conversations with parents and students about a topic that many have considered to be taboo. We followed up last week’s tech crisis conversation with a funny story from our friend Allison, and confessed our last minute sermon writing records. It’s been a great week and we can’t wait to be with you again next week! With graduations right around the corner, we know that you have several themed messages coming up. But As For Me is a complete night of programming targeted at graduation. It comes with a sermon, a small group, a game and graphics. Basically, it is everything you need to be able to have an awesome night of youth group with your seniors before they graduate. https://www.downloadyouthministry.com/shop/but-as-for-me-youth-ministry-graduation-tool Check out our resources in the DYM store here: https://www.downloadyouthministry.com/shop?author=8 Be sure to like The Morning After Ministry on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/morningafterministry/ instagram.com/morningaftermin and twitter.com/morningaftermin.

Episode 63: Parents and Students Worshiping Together

It was an exhausting week for both of us, nut for very different reasons. Tim went to Chicago and back, and Andrew had about six months of senior pastor responsibilities dumped into one week. Before we got into our content we talked about two DYM resources that we have in the store that could be very helpful to you you and your ministry this time of year. Since Mother’s Day is this weekend, we thought that you’d want to take a look at this stand alone message written just for Mother’s Day. https://www.downloadyouthministry.com/shop/bitter-sweet-series With graduations right around the corner, we know that you have several themed messages coming up. But As For Me is a complete night of programming targeted at graduation. It comes with a sermon, a small group, a game and graphics. Basically, it is everything you need to be able to have an awesome night of youth group with your seniors before they graduate. https://www.downloadyouthministry.com/shop/but-as-for-me-youth-ministry-graduation-tool This week Andrew had an unscheduled elder’s meeting, prayed at a county wide national day of prayer event, and then had to do back to back funerals on the same day. We talked about some of what goes into funerals, and the value of having a good relationship with a reputable funeral director. We also talked about what it is like to have to finish a sermon late on Saturday night because of the demands of a crazy ministry week. Tim had a major tech issue at youth group, and that brought on a conversation about funny tech issues. Our favorite was a church sound board that would occasionally pick up and broadcast a Spanish radio station during worship. We closed the show by discussing what we can do as pastors to set up guest communicators to win. We talked about giving them plenty of advance notice, going through church culture and expectations, and taking as much off their plates as possible.
