THE COMMUNITY
We don’t think your learning experience and experimenting is really complete until you’ve had a chance to bounce ideas off of other people. Join thousands of other youth workers and participate in our Facebook Group. It’s is the official community of Stuff You Can Use. We’re a youth ministry community designed to help you be more AWESOME. It’s where youth ministry experimenters and innovators like you can hang out, swap ideas, and help each other be better. In this group, here’s what you’ll get:
1. A monthly THEME to guide our conversations.
2. Weekly DISCUSSION QUESTIONS to get the conversations started.
3. Plenty of free and exclusive STUFF, just for you.
Because we like you. And youth ministry. And helping each other be more awesome.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
This is GREAT!! This is something I will definitely share with my team, we will watch the video together, and we will talk through all that you suggest. THIS IS SO GOOD – thank you!!
Love your new project!!! Clarity, focus, concise…so many possible venues to use this video piece. I would love to show this to my staff team as a “refresher” regarding our goals now that we are a few pages into the calendar year…but also a piece like this makes it easy for team leaders to pull together a post service coffee bunch or lunch bunch with current volunteers and do a quick training without having to dedicate someone to prepare the presentation. Always helpful when time is such a hot commodity! Your strategy and points are spot on! Love from your friends in Seattle!
This is such a breath of fresh air. Our focus here is Small groups for 2016. You guys are legends. Thanks all the way from New Zealand.
I LOVE this. I love that the information given in the video is HUGE, but also very practical and easy to implement. Thanks so much for starting on this project. I see this as something I can use, but I can also get my team to watch because the video was only 15 minutes long. Our church subscribes to another service that is designed to help us get more volunteers, but the videos are over an hour long and that can be difficult for people to make time for, especially if they are volunteers themselves.
200% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE
What’s a 200% money back guarantee? Good question. I think we made it up. If you’re not satisfied with your purchase, we’ll refund you 100% of what you paid AND you still get to keep all the Videos, Experiments, and Resources. But, like, we really hope you don’t hate them.
