		<title>The Coming American Church Transition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t claim to to know the future.  I&#8217;m not a prophet or psychic or anything like that.  But I think there are several murmurs throughout the American church that we need to pay attention to and what it means for us as believers here in America and especially those involved with ministry.
There is an [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=youthministrygeek.wordpress.com&blog=4578847&post=245&subd=youthministrygeek&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Site Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To be honest, there&#8217;s just way too much going on right now for me to effectively run this blog.
I&#8217;m not sure when/if there will be future updates.  
Thanks for reading.

		<title>The Lent Experiment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not from a tradition that observes Ash Wednesday or the events that surround Lent.  In the next couple of weeks I hope to learn a little more about Lent and it&#8217;s history.
My goal during the 40 days of Lent is to completely give up video games and devote that time to reading, studying and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=youthministrygeek.wordpress.com&blog=4578847&post=241&subd=youthministrygeek&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>For Fun!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve seen all the pastor jokes that circulate the internet, until I saw the following and felt it necessary to pass along the laughs.
Call to Another Church
A pastor places his order at the pet store. &#8220;I need at least 50 mice, 2,000 ants and as many of those little silverfish you can get.&#8221;
The clerk replies, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=youthministrygeek.wordpress.com&blog=4578847&post=238&subd=youthministrygeek&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Quick Announcement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whew!  What a month it&#8217;s been!
Between getting over the holidays, making plans for the baby, and the season of change at church there hasn&#8217;t been time for me to give any real updates.
They&#8217;re coming, I promise, but for the next couple of months I don&#8217;t foresee many in depth Youth Ministry posts.  Expect [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=youthministrygeek.wordpress.com&blog=4578847&post=237&subd=youthministrygeek&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Crisis Counseling part 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the final installment of the Crisis Counseling series, I want to talk about the most common type of counseling that youth workers encounter.  We&#8217;ll call this Counseling in the Youth Room &#8211; the times when those students approach you after the lesson or while you&#8217;re in your office or just after church on Sunday.

		<title>The Perfect Youth Pastor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I have the top 10 ways to be the &#8220;Perfect Youth Pastor&#8221;!
No.  I don&#8217;t.  In fact, if I was to make a top 10 list like that&#8211;it would more likely be &#8220;The Top 10 Things NOT to do&#8221;!  But I came across this great post this morning about the myth of the perfect youth [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=youthministrygeek.wordpress.com&blog=4578847&post=233&subd=youthministrygeek&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
