I’ve always loved Sidekicks. The most famous sidekick of all was Batman’s faithful partner, Robin. He was and still is by far my favorite. I know, laugh it up, but seriously, I’ve always wanted to be a sidekick to some great superhero.
Hence, welcome to YM Sidekick. YM Sidekick will continue the theme of the previous blog titles by helping student and family ministers better strategize and meet the needs of their respective ministries. It is my I hope that this blog and the discussions that arise can be a helpful Sidekick to you and your ministry. You all are the real superheroes, I’m just trying to be a helpful assistant to the great things you all are doing.
In addition to the regular blog posts, I’m starting a new YM Sidekick Program to help coach Student Ministers become better ministers and their program become more organized. I’ve been doing full-time Youth Ministry for over 15 years working in a variety of churches and ministries. With this background, I feel fully equipped and ready to coach fellow student ministers, especially those who are relatively new to ministry and are working with a limited budget.
The bottom line (as Orange likes to highlight) is that I am here to be your YM Sidekick. Whether it is through posting on the blog or through some coaching along the way, whatever I can do to help you all in your great ministries, I’m here for you. Just throw out that Batsign (email, Twitter, Facebook) and I’ll be happy to partner along with you all…enough with the sidekick, superhero references, you get the point.]]>
