Are You Listening for God’s Whistle?
When dad calls us, we must discern that call to make sure it is really Him calling. But discernment isn’t enough, once we recognize that it is His voice, we must respond. We have to move. This is why prayer is so important to our everyday lives. It is in prayer that we begin to know the voice of the Father. It’s amazing to me that in a crowded room, full of noisy kids, you’re children recognize your voice when you call. It’s because they know you, and they know your voice.

Success: To the Core.
Across the board as I talk with many of you and listen to your joys and struggles, I hear consistently of a deep desire to have a vibrant, effective youth ministry in your parishes. Often in that same conversation I hear the difficulties of working with “volunteers” and the challenges that that brings. More often than not at the heart of the problem is not having spent the time properly “recruiting” Core Members and adequately preparing them for the ministry they are about to undertake.

God’s Plan Not Ours
“What is God doing and how can I be a part of it?” One of my friends posted this question sometime ago. I find myself thinking about it often in terms of my own life, but I also need to think about it as it relates to youth ministry. It’s easy to make our plans and pick our themes, but really, I should want to help with whatever God’s plan is for the youth in my parish. It’s a given that prayer is essential to the life of anyone in ministry (it’s also essential to those who aren’t in ministry).

Healthy Youth Ministry requires healthy Youth Ministers
Youth Ministry necessitates some really odd hours. Long after the Parish secretary has rolled the phones to voice mail, you’re trying to track down 50 pens that actually write or 20 Bibles that never made their way back to the bookcase. By the time the last teen is picked up, the last door gets locked and the last parking lot conversation ends, your last brain cell is running on overdrive.

Do You Make This Mistake When You Pray?
Who ends the conversation when you are talking with God? In the military the use of two way radios or walkie talkies is common. When a soldier is talking to a superior via radio communication they often say the words – “Roger, Over” meaning information received and I am listening for your reply. The superior officer has the responsibility to end the conversation by proclaiming – “Out or Clear ” meaning I have finished talking to you. What if we applied this same hierarchical strategy to our daily

Goal for the Life Night: This Life Night will help the teens understand that no vocation is lived in isolation.
