Two weeks we talked to Chris Wesley about maximizing the summer with your volunteers. This week, we are talking about how YOU can to use the summer to recover from a long year.

That is why Tom asked Ben Kerns, the all-American Youth Pastor for California (yes, he does surf) to join him to talk about a recent blog post he wrote and how that plays into his summer recovery plan.  In this episode Tom and Ben talk about…

1. Ben’s blog post, “Who is holding up your hands?“
2. How uses the summer to recover and refresh for the fall

You can connect with Ben a few different ways.  He’s on Twitter (twitter.com/averageym), has an awesome blog (http://www.averageyouthministry.com) with tons of great insights each week.

So what do you think? How do you utilize the summer to recover and refresh for the fall?  What are you doing?  Join the conversation by sharing your thoughts and insights below or on social media using the hashtag #ymsidekick.
