Gary Vaynerchuk talks about Content & Social MediaKen Sapp
Great talk and Q&A from Gary Vaynerchuk at National Achiever's Congress 2019 in Singapore... Lots of takeaways but these are powerful: "Eliminate friction between your message and your customer" and "The INTENT of content is the VARIABLE of Success." So does your message create friction? What is the intent of your content? Are you real and adding value or is your content just an "ask" wrapped in content?
Thanksgiving Party Activity - Looking BackKen Sapp
Thanksgiving is an American Holiday where people set aside a day to remember what God has done for them over the past one year and praise Him and give Him thanks for the works He has done in their lives. This game plays on the idea of looking forward yet being able to recognize and picture what is behind. It serves as a metaphor for us, also looking forward to the future, but taking some time to picture and recognize what God has done in the past."
Although gummy bears were invented by German Candy maker Hans Reigel in 1922, the gummy worm is a relatively recent concept. The Gummy bear wasn’t shipped to America until around 1981 and then an American candy company extended the idea to gummy worms to give kids something fun to eat and to shock their parents. Gummy worms are one of the most popular gummy candies around. Use these games with gummy worms as an object lesson to talk about Jesus’ call to his disciples to become fishers of men.

You could even relate it to a talk about not conforming to the patterns of the world. Be creative and have a great week!

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Youth Ideas - Tips for Working With Youth and Handling Discipline Problems

Youth Ideas - Tips for Working With
Youth and Handling Discipline
Problems
Some key concepts and principles to
minimize and correct discipline
problems when dealing with youth.
www.CreativeSermonIdeas.com
2. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
Build Relationships with Youth
Take time to get to know each youth.
Teenagers will be teenagers and are by
nature restless, hyper, and noisy
persons. Accept youth as the silly, noisy
people they are. Learn to see their
sensitive, enthusiastic, eager side which
needs the nurturing of a caring adult. As
you build relationships with each youth,
and they feel that you appreciate and
accept them, you will find a mutual
trust and respect growing. Youth are
much more responsive to the guidance,
advice and even discipline of those they
view as caring. “Youth don’t care what
you know until the know that you care.”
www.CreativeSermonIdeas.com
3. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
When unacceptable behavior occurs,
(and it will definitely occur from time to
time) it is rarely a personal attack
directed toward you. It is simply a
symptom of a deeper problem that a
teenager might have. Behavior is always a
symptom of something else. Always try to
find the root causes of the behavior.
When you handle the root, the behavior
of the youth will change. Be careful not
to embarrass a teen in front of their
peers. The result will be more problems
with that student. Discipline youth in
private if at all possible. Create a positive
but firm relationship. When you have a
positive relationship with youth, often, a
simple touch, look, or quick remark to
quiet down is usually enough to get
things moving in a positive direction
again.
www.CreativeSermonIdeas.com
4. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
Create a Positive Environment for
Youth
Be proactive rather than reactive. To
encourage promptness, start with a
“bang”. To fight the teenagers’
tendency to be late, start on time.
Don’t react by running after youth,
scream, or remind them of the time
to get started. Instead, be proactive
and start each meeting with a quick
activity that will grab the attention of
the youth.
www.CreativeSermonIdeas.com
5. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
Youth are talkative and full of
energy so instead of trying to react
and calm them down, keep them
actively involved throughout the
programs with a variety of
activities and opportunities for
them to interact, to express
themselves, and to release their
energy. Make the youth programs
positive and upbeat with a wide
selection of activities that are
exciting and fun, game oriented,
and concise.
www.CreativeSermonIdeas.com
6. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
Guide Rather than Tell
Never tell a youth anything he can
discover for himself! We all learn
more by doing rather than
listening. Personal discovery is
much more powerful than being
given the answers. When we
discover things for ourselves we
make them our own truth.
www.CreativeSermonIdeas.com
7. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
Be Firm with a Good Measure of
Grace
At one extreme are youth leaders
who are “Drill Sergeant’s” and
“Dictators”. At the other extreme are
the “Pushovers”, the youth leaders
without a backbone. While there may
be times for various responses, the
most effective youth leaders lie
somewhere in between. Being strict
won’t get the results you want; nor
will being unstructured. We don’t
always give youth what they want,
but what they need because
sometimes they are unaware of what
they really need themselves
www.CreativeSermonIdeas.com
8. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
When discipline is called for we must
always seek to rehabilitate, to guide
youth toward positive growth rather
than to simply punish. There are
times when a firm hand is needed,
and there are times when grace is
needed. Explain what you see as the
problem and encourage the teens to
help come up with a solution.
www.CreativeSermonIdeas.com
9. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
Be Realistic but Encouraging Positive
Growth
Remember that teenagers’ abnormal
behavior is almost always normal.
Their behavior is only a temporary
phase youth pass through on the way
to adulthood. In time they will grow
out of it. While we must love them as
they are, we must love them enough
to not leave them as they are. And
when it is hard to love them as they
are, we must love them for what they
can be. As adult youth leaders we
need to help youth get better
acquainted with who they are and
who they are becoming in Christ.
www.CreativeSermonIdeas.com
10. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
Set Boundaries and Expectations for
Youth
Together with the youth, as a group
decide what is and is not objectionable
behavior, and set specific limits
accordingly. Boundaries should be
empowering rather than simply
inhibiting. When the students help make
the rules, they break them less
frequently. Once the limits are set, the
youth should know and agree to the
limits. But also remember that youth will
forever be testing the boundaries in an
attempt to discover which boundaries
are firm and which ones are flexible. It’s
not a rejection of the boundaries but an
attempt to establish their own
boundaries and find a place to stand.
www.CreativeSermonIdeas.com
11. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
Always know why the boundary exists
and be able to explain the rationale for
it. Youth also need to recognize that
there are often very real consequences
for crossing over boundaries and
reasons they are placed where they are.
Like the edge of a cliff there will be
some that want to get as close to the
edge as possible for the thrill, but they
risk falling over the edge and getting
hurt in the process. We need to help
them recognize where the boundaries
are and help them to walk a
comfortable distance away from them.
Allow, as much as possible, for freedom
and flexibility within the limits set.
However, “no” must be taken seriously,
not as a “maybe.”
www.CreativeSermonIdeas.com
12. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
Appropriate Responses to Youth
Behavior
Build a good healthy respect for youth
into your discipline. Never embarrass a
youth in front of his peers. When there
are problems, try to deal with a youth
alone. Never attack the person, only
the behavior. Rewards and
punishments must be appropriate and
aimed to encourage positive behavior
while discouraging negative behavior.
Both the “stick” and the “carrot” are
effective and have their moments, but
we should not go to the extremes of
bribery for positive behavior and
getting revenge for negative behavior.
www.CreativeSermonIdeas.com
13. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
When a youth breaks a rule, don’t
overreact with harshness, but
correct the problem with
compassion. Students need to
know what will happen when a
rule is broken and the
consequences must be fair and fit
the action.
www.CreativeSermonIdeas.com
14. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
Free Expression for Youth
Structure activities in which the
young people are free to express
themselves without judgment.
Provide other perspectives
(including the Biblical perspective)
and other ways to view things
without labeling the youth as
wrong. When the truth is clear and
the choices are presented to them
in a no judgmental way most youth
will correct themselves. But when
threatened youth are more likely to
be defensive, rebellious, or even
confrontational
www.CreativeSermonIdeas.com
15. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
Use group-building exercises to let
students be talkative and noisy
within an orderly context. Youth will
appreciate the opportunity to
express themselves. You will
appreciate the fact that some energy
can be released in a positive way.
www.CreativeSermonIdeas.com
16. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
Actively Involve the Youth
Allow your youth to help you plan
and implement activities. The more
ownership youth have in the event,
the less discipline problems you’ll
have. Involvement and responsibility
creates commitment. Whether your
youth group is large or small your
functions should include a variety of
activities that cater to a variety of
energy levels and interests,
especially with younger youth.
www.CreativeSermonIdeas.com
17. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
During discussions, break up the
youth into small groups so no one
is left out. Often youth who don’t
get involved are the ones who
cause the most problems. Also be
conscious of transitions. Move
smoothly and quickly from one
activity to another. When a lag
occurs between activities,
problems tend to occur.
www.CreativeSermonIdeas.com
18. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
Actively Involve Caring Adults
When other adults are included
they bring with them a variety of
gifts, leadership styles, and
personalities. A few adults seated
among the youth can help maintain
control of the group without
attracting a lot of attention. Some
are better at disciplining without
harshness. Some are respected by
the youth already. The youth will
respond to them well when these
leaders must “have a talk” with
them.
www.CreativeSermonIdeas.com
19. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
What to Do with Unacceptable
Behavior
You cannot allow one youth to
spoil the event for everyone. If a
teenager senses you are sincere
about your frustration, he usually
will respond in a positive manner.
If further disruption continues, be
prepared to take harsher action in
love, if necessary.
