Don’t remember kids’ names. Teach your Campaigner group spiritual disciplines you don’t personally practice. Always send mass text messages. Never call kids individually.

Chuck writes, “Companies and organizations often do “exit interviews” and they do so for many different reasons. But the biggest one is that they get really honest answers. They do this so they…
The Brookland Cayce YL Team from Columbia, SC Brad Lomenick, director of Catalyst, recently wrote 15 Keys of a Make it Happen Team Culture, which inspired us to create a similar YL version below. Being on a YL team is awesome, but it’s not easy. How To Be An “Oh Boy!” YL Team Member “Let Your ‘Yes’ Be A ‘Yes’” (Matt….
