Two appearances on Work to Game's Casually Hardcore Podcast
I was honored to join the fellas at Work To Game on their YouTube channel/podcast twice this Spring. We talk about where faith, video games and family meet.
My new friends over at the Work To Game YouTube channel were kind enough to invite me on their show twice recently for their podcast focused around where video games, faith and family meet. You can check out both episodes(Eps. 15 & 17) below on YouTube or on iTunes here.
With 2019 fresh and new, there are already a lot of games that are planning on making their way out in the next few months if not the next 12. We invited Taylor Schroll of the Forte Catholic Podcast to come and hang out and talk about video games.
Youth Ministry Training(Video)
I led a full day of youth ministry training sessions for the Diocese of Sioux City. Click here to see the videos of the three sessions.
In early 2018, I traveled to the Diocese of Sioux City, Iowa to lead a Youth Ministry Training day for 25 youth ministers and DRE's from across the Diocese.
In the first session, I do introductions, we play the "Worship or Love Song" game, rethink ministry using a Desert Island experiment and refocus our ministry.
In the second session, I share about comprehensive youth ministry and the tools for how to accomplish what the Bishops ask of us for our ministry.
In the final session, we discuss a new model for youth nights, the importance of good questions for discussion groups, finding volunteers, building a parent board, sharing resources and answering questions from the youth ministers.
You can find all three videos in the playlist below. If you would like me to come to a training for your team, click here.

Mr. Radio Face made his TV debut! I hid my face behind a mic, beard and hat and spoke with Kent Kuholski on the "Fiat Ministry Show."

Life After the "Conference High"
One does not simply bring a young person to a youth conference and not help them continue to grow in their faith when they return home. Watch this short video on how to help youth continue to live for Christ after the "conference high" wears off.
On my most recent appearance on the Beyond the Pew video series from Ablaze Ministries, I talk about how to help kids continue to "fan the flame of faith" after attending a youth conference. Conferences have a special place in my heart as I had my conversion at a youth conference the summer after my 8th grade year. Many young people struggle to continuing growing in their faith in the weeks and months following an encounter with Christ at a conference.
In this video, I give some tips and guidance on how parents can assist their kids in cultivating a deep faith after the "conference high" goes away.

All Saints, All Day!
On November 1st, the Catholic Church celebrates all Saints Day! This often raises questions on why Catholics talk about saints, learn from them or ask them for prayer.
I addressed these questions on Beyond the Pew, a series from Ablaze Ministries, with a quick five minute video introducing the topic of saints and how we are to answer the call to become saints.
