Read once a year

If you’re in ministry, & you’re breathing, you’ve been hurt. This book is a MUST read in ministry to keep tough skin, but a tender heart. Plus, each chapter is 2-3 pages, so it’s the easiest read of your life!

Youth ministry manual

Jeanne Mayo has been in local youth ministry longer than most of us have been alive, twice over. It’s our #1 recommendation for creating a family culture in your youth ministry.

Preaching manual

After 4 years of bible college & dozens of books on preaching, this is the gold standard in our eyes on effective communication.

Know your peeps

This generation is not like any before it. It’s beyond impaortant to know what they are about, and then leverage that towards Jesus. There is no better study on our youth than this!

Underrated

Students want to follow someone & something, but they will only follow if you know where you’re going & where you’re taking them.

Don’t judge a book by it’s cover

The best resource to help you counsel students through all kinds of issues. Remember, don’t be a hero, sometimes the best thing you can do is to refer your student to someone better quipped to handle the situation!
