NYWC: Recap

NYWC: YS Podcast, featuring… us!
So here’s this week’s YS Podcast (episode #12), recapping NYWC Pittsburgh. There’s some concert footage, of which I had the honor of recording some. Make sure you check out the MercyMe shots to see the work of my shaky hand. Also, there’s a lot of interviews mixed into the show from people in our group. [...]
NYWC: Chili peppers, naps, and Crowders
NYWC: Suffering for the Ministry from William Hartz on Vimeo. I’m sitting in my hotel room as Jesus and Carlos are talking about the past day. I can’t believe it’s almost over. Tomorrow is the last day of the Convention. It’s weird… we’ve been here for quite awhile, arriving Wednesday night, but it feels like [...]
NYWC: Starfield – Hosanna (Live)
NYWC: Starfield – Hosanna (Live) from William Hartz on Vimeo. I’ve been helping Youth Specialties to live blog their 2008 National Youth Worker’s Convention in Pittsburgh, and they set up a table for us to be stationed at inside the tech booth. While there, I propped my camera up and recorded some of Starfield leading [...]
NYWC Pittsburgh: New Ministry Models and Chai
Friday, Oct 31, 2008. And so it begins. For real. NYWC officially began today. But before that, we still had to finish up our Critical Concern Course. I begrudgingly woke up early and made my way to the 8:30 start time for part 2 of The Present Future of Youth Ministry. Let me just say [...]
NYWC Pittsburgh: Monongahela Incline Plane
NYWC: Monongahela Incline Plane from William Hartz on Vimeo. While touring Pittsburgh before NYWC 2008 began, we found ourselves at the Monongahela Incline Plane. It’s kind of a tram that scales the side of an insanely steep clip and come out at an overlook where you can see the entire city of Pittsburgh from. We [...]
NYWC Pittsburgh: It begins
5 hours of sleep. If that much. I woke up at 9, showered, packed my 30-lb bag of gear, and prepared for the first day of the convention. Well, technically, Friday is the first day. Today is all pre-game. YS changed up their regular schedule this year for the Critical Concern Courses. Instead of having [...]
NYWC Pittsburgh: We’re here!
The drive wasn’t that bad. We arrived in Pittsburgh around 3:30am. Carlos was leading the caravan because he had a GPS in his truck, but as soon as we got into town he started making odd turns and seemed to be in general disarray. Somehow, and we’re still trying to figure out how this happened, [...]
Liveblogging NYWC
So it’s almost here. We’re leaving Wednesday night for Youth Specialites’ National Youth Worker’s Convention in Pittsburgh. Every year we gather a team from The Bridge and head out to one of the three conventions for a long weekend of training, encouragement, and rest in order to recharge or batteries as we prepare for another [...]
Weddings, Ninjas, and full schedules
I feel so out of the loop. I’ve been so busy these past few weeks that I can say that I’ve been out running around different places more often than I’ve been home. A bit of what I’ve been up to. This will be long, as it covers the past two to three weeks. Don’t [...]
