I don’t generally do personal posts on the Network site, but I just got back from what I feel is the cream-of-the-crop of youth worker training options, the National Youth Workers Convention in Nashville. Deanna and I had such an amazing time! If you are interested, head over to our student ministry blog at elevatingageneration.org and check out my thoughts, pics, and — eventually — video from the weekend. I was priveledged to be a live-blogger at this year’s event, so my thoughts and real-time updates were also posted the whole weekend over at the live-blog, wich is still archived here.
Seriously, if you have never gone, you need to set these dates aside for next year and start planning to attend at one of these following locations now:
Los Angeles – September 24 – 28
Cincinnati – October 29 – November 2
Atlanta – November 19 -23
Bookmark and visit nywc.com for more information.
“Seriously Ridiculous” was the theme this year and this post over at Youth Specialtie’s blog kind of captures the idea behind the weekend; so good: check it out!

Sounds fun! Although we probably won’t pick our city for a few months yet. If LA though, we’ll definitely try and connect with you!
