Follow: Twitter Easter Video
Many of you liked the digital nativity video from Christmas. Igniter video has now done one for Easter.
If you want to use it for your services, you can pick it up HERE.
Description from their site:
Throughout the course of his public ministry, Jesus knew both the adoration and desertion of the crowds. Today, just as 2,000 years ago, the gospel asks a question that demands an answer: Will we follow? This video illustrates this truth through the dynamic lens of a 21st-century social network.

YouTube Trends: Keep Track of What’s Popular
I saw a link to this site over at MoreThanDodgeball, and I thought it would be good to pass along. It’s a site that YouTube has put together to for people to see what popular and follow the trends on the popular video site. Sometimes in Youth Ministry is hard to keep up with what’s popular with students, but this might help tip you off to what they are watching online so you are ready to talk (or laugh) about it with them.

Favorite Productivity Tools
I am leading a seminar this weekend at the Simply Youth Ministry Conference called Working Smart. It’s about ways we can be more productive, and not let tasks over run our lives.
As part of the class I’m including a liar of my favorite productivity resources, and thought it would be great to include some of yours as well.
If you have a website, software, book or other resource that has helped you leave it in the comments. After my session is done I will post the entire list to help out everyone.
Thanks!
