Stuff You Can Use

1. Are you a youth pastor or youth worker? 2. Are we following you? 3. If not, LET US KNOW SO WE CAN BE FRIENDS. 😍 #youthmin #stumin #youthministry

You've made it through the week... congrats!🤩 What's one good thing that happened this week?

What's one piece of advice that's helped you in ministry?📝

Hi pals! Let's catch up - what are you into this week? A new book? A hobby? Or show? Share what's been interesting to you!😊

Remember fasting doesn’t HAVE to involve food. There are so many other, creative, and likely more relevant ways to encourage young people to practice this particular spiritual discipline. Let’s be mindful and careful with those sweet little babies we’re taking care of. ❤️ (2/2)

Hey #youthmin #kidmin friends, a gentle reminder for Lent, from your @stuffyoucanuse pals. Please be careful with the language you use around FASTING. Keep in mind adolescents are extremely susceptible to disordered eating & many are experiencing food insecurity at home. (1/2)

@cvannerd @TeamYouTube @YouTubeCreators 😂😂😂

Hey @TeamYouTube and @YouTubeCreators please restore the @stuffyoucanuse channel. The creators are compassionate, creative, and all about resourcing people w/ content that might otherwise break the bank. I can also send further appeals to restore their channel in haiku form 😭

Hey pastor friends! We worked with @ChurchFuel to make you a FREE downloadable planner for 2021! There’s one for #youthmin, one for #kidmin, and one for family or lead pastors! Grab it at growcurriculum.org/planner 🥰

@meganromer We ❤️ you, Megannnnn! Thanks for letting us borrow your brain for another year!

Churchy folks, looking for curricula for your Sunday School or youth programs? I’m one of the editors for the excellent @stuffyoucanuse Grow Kids curriculum and recommend it highly! It’s ecumenical (really!), super-thorough, and thoughtful. growcurriculum.org/?ref=245

The Takeover is happening November 7! In the morning, join us for a youth ministry panel discussion and training for you and your volunteers. Then go round up your students (or tell them to tune in live at home) for: 🗣 teaching 🎵music 🙌🏾 worship 🎮 and a Fortnite tournament!

🚨 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐇 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 🚨 We’ll be there! How about you? Thanks to YouTube Live, Zoom, and Twitch, our friends at @rescueagen are making their incredible annual youth conference available to EVERYONE this year. 😍 rescueageneration.org/events

If you don’t have the FREE Grow Games app yet, are you okay? Should we call someone for you? What’s the problem here? 💻 games.stuffyoucanuse.org 📱Search for “Grow Games & Icebreakers” in your favorite App Store!

Youth workers, are you looking for that one #youthministry app that gives you tons of games and a way to organize them for free? Here it is. Check out my review of the #growgames app from @stuffyoucanuse youtu.be/5obje4rqjxc

It’s Grow Kids Curriculum — in the wild! 😍

Someone asked me if I mind that our smaller church keeps getting copied by larger churches. The answer is no. I don’t mind. It says something about who we are. Iterate away. Borrow what you need. If we think church is about owning everything then we’ve missed something major. 🤍

1) Once a youth pastor always a youth pastor. 2) Who says you can only play youth group games at church? 😂

I’ll let you draw your own conclusions from this story. 😂 Within hours, a women-only Facebook group organized a simple system for sharing codes to the Grow Games app. SO POLITE. SO CALM. Everyone has codes! EVERYONE ELSE:

@stuffyoucanuse send me anyone that code left for the game app.

From the brains of TONS of youth workers, but especially our pal Jeremiah Herring who led the charge!

When someone who was curious about the commotion over at @stuffyoucanuse (because NEW & FREE games app) asked, “what are codes for?” @karliloving replied that they are for @PopeyesChicken Then the internet broke once and for all. 2020 is complete. #youthministry #NowPlaying
