Orange XP3 Middle School

Intro done by: Luke Angus, Trinity Church, Redlands California

Topics for this episode:

Did we mention we have Patrick Lencioni !!!!!

Most of our listeners are younger leaders, many leading a team for the very first time. Give them your "#1 DO" and your "#1 DON'T".
Change is hard.The President of Fuller Seminary said “people don’t fear change they fear loss” So when taking over a role at a church give us some advice about how to implement change roll out an effective change management strategy.
In your book, 5 Disfunctions of a team, you make the case that TRUST is the very most important quality among a team...so lack of trust is the biggest disfunction. How might you equate that with building trust with young teenagers and their parents in a church setting?
Define the difference between Mission and Vision?
In your experience, what would most teams identify as a primary source of discouragement?
You seem to be a genius at taking big, hard to tackle, leadership issues and boiling them down to easy to grasp and implement ideas and principles. Your books are short, but loaded with truth and pragmatic leadership gold. Give us a few tips on making our message simple and easy for our audience (young teenagers) to grasp.
What do you do in a situation where you have more practical experience than your boss. Most Youth workers report to people who have never done youth ministry.
Sometimes we cast vision, but then struggle to implement it. How can we be great implementers of vision.

Topics for this episode:

The Upside of NO, This history of the podcast! How hearing NO to an idea set me on the path to start controlled chaos!

Summer camp, time off policy, or lack of policy for post camp for staff. Different from church to church, we talk about what its like in our churches.

Volunteers, specifically at camp. They are the BEST... most of them either take vacation time to be at camp, then they go right back to work. But we touch on the expectaions we put on volunteers overall.

Health, how do we create health for our leaders with everyting we ask them to do.

Be mindful of the sacrifice your leaders make for you!

Generation Z tip of the week: Millennials are skipping entrepreneurship, but Gen Z is picking up their slack -- 72% of high schoolers want to start their own business someday, and 61% of college students would rather be entrepreneurs than employees, despite the clear difficulties they ecpect to face. For that means student leadership looks different, how we call them to invest in the ministry is of far greater value. ARTICLE HERE

Andrew Root answers a question of how to talk to students about the end times.

Jadner Lugo shares with us what was happening on the ground in Haiti!

Dr. Jim Burns sits down with us to talk about Sex! Part 1 of 4 (over the next couple months)

Youtube, this is all attached to the Generation Z tip of the week (read below).

Youth Cartel, Marko (Episode 0003) and Adam the founders of the youth cartel talk about managing conflict.

Our first Blog Review comes to us from Kevin Libick, he is a student pastor with over 15 years of ministry experience. Most of that time has been dedicated to middle school ministry. Currently, he is the Student Ministry Pastor at Christ Chapel Bible Church in Fort Worth, TX. He wrote an article I LOVED about tackling tough transitions so I reached out to get him on the podcast to talk more abou tit.

Generation Z Tip of the week (this is from Ashely Bohinc at Orange... She was on Episode 0005) Recent studies have shown between 80-95% of Generation Z uses YouTube more than any other social media platform. I (Justin) talk about some ideas to use YouTube in your junior high ministry. Also Orange asked middle schoolers all over the country what YouTube channels they are currently watching. Here's what they said!
