Ever feel overwhelmed at a Youth Ministry Conference?  I know I do.

There’s always so much to do.  There’s so much to see and hear.  Often times if I’m honest I come back more tired than when I left rather than being refreshed and encouraged.  Many times I even return a bit discouraged after hearing all of the things I feel like I should be doing in my ministry and can’t do.

Today, Rick Lawrence from Group Publishing and Simply Youth Ministry, shares some helpful tips to getting the most out of your next Youth Ministry Conference.

And these aren’t your normal pointers, and are really helpful things to consider.

He also talks about the upcoming Simply Youth Ministry Conference as well and gives us the nitty-gritty about what to expect from it this year.
