- Defusing a Relationship Bomb - I believe that, as youth workers, we live in an economy of relationships. With that in mind, this article should be required reading to anyone who works with students. This could be particularly useful when dealing with angry parents or supervisors.
- Why Change Fails - Youth workers have a bad habit championing a change, only to see the idea go down in flames a short time later. This article shares places that change can go wrong. Read this before taking on your next big project.
- The Golden Compass as discipleship - I really like this idea. I think the church would do much better to see the Golden Compass (and works like it) as opportunities to learn rather than opportunities to yell.
- Improvise Like a Jazz Musician - I’ve never been in a work situation where I didn’t have to improvise. I love the idea of looking at work through the lens of a jazz musicians (the undisputed champs of improvisation.)

That defusing a relationship bomb is a good find. So much of the anger pastors and other staff members get is due to the frustration with other areas of a person’s life. We are just a cat to kick that is close by. That is not to say we don’t make mistakes from time to time, but we are easy targets for misdirected anger.
