Getting Started

by Chris Szulwach on February 24, 2009

question-markFor a while now I have been looking for a collaborative blog that brought youth workers together and was not simply for the self-promotion of one person.  Maybe I have just missed it but I am leaning toward the fact that there isn’t one out there yet, so I decided it was time to pull the proverbial trigger and try to get things started on this project.

So, have I just missed it or are there really no collaborative (a bunch of people from different perspectives) youth ministry blogs out there?

Should be fun! We'll either go down in flames together or learn a lot, grow a lot, and help some people out!

"a collaborative blog that brought youth workers together and was not simply for the self-promotion of one person." YES!! I am in with both feet, legs, torso, arms, hands, neck, head, and any other part of the body i might have missed, lol. I look forward to what this blog will be able to do and hear from others on how we can just "share" ideas without the need to feel we have to "promote" our ideas. (Is that what you are looking for?) Sounds awesome!

Ok, I just put a bunch of questions up for us to start discussing. The sad part is that I am sitting here waiting for someone to start answering, lol. Seeing as how it is after midnight here, I should probably just go to bed. Can't wait to start reading some discussions!

We are going to start off over the first few weeks with some questions / topics that I'll send out to everyone. Then we'll start drawing from the suggestions. Should be fun, but at least we'll all learn something!
