Youth Worker Social Networking During NYWC
For those that are not youth workers, there are several huge youth worker conventions that are attended by thousands of youth workers from across the nation. This month, Youth Specialties is hosting the National Youth Worker's Conference (NYWC) in Atlanta, Georgia with amazing speakers, musicians, and break out training sessions.

How-To Set Up A Print Style Sheet
One of my first website clients asked that their printouts look better. At first, it took me off guard. It is a website after all. However, they were in the real estate business, so it totally made sense why they wanted their property listings to print out good.

Since I hadn't gotten my hands very dirty using WordPress, yet, I poked around until I found a plugin that suited ... Read More

Youth Ministry and Coding

Teenagers can learn how to learn great program concepts for business models, learn useful skills, and they may able to use them to make money in college ... Read More
Technism and the Church
After reading through John Dyer’s From the Garden to the City with the rest of the ChurchMag community, I have begun to realize that I might have a problem with technology. Now, when I start to “slide to unlock,” I think twice about why and whether I should. Am I alone in this? Probably not.
