  • Stop Fixing, Start Listening: Mentoring Youth Without Taking Over

    August 2, 2025
    Uncategorized

    “Let Me Tell You What You Should Do…” We’ve all said it.Or thought it.Because we care. And because we remember being that age—making those same mistakes, asking those same questions.So we swoop in. We advise. We explain. We fix. But the more we talk, the less they trust.Not because they’re rebellious.Because they’re trying to figure…

  • Creating Multi-Night Challenge Projects (And Why Teens Love Them More Than You Think)

    July 31, 2025
    Uncategorized

    Sometimes one night isn’t enough. We want youth to internalize gospel principles, develop habits of service, and strengthen their testimonies—but it’s hard to do that in a 45-minute Mutual night. That’s where multi-night challenge projects shine. Instead of a one-off lesson or activity, these short-term, multi-week efforts build purpose, accountability, and momentum. And they work—especially…

  • The Night They Don’t Want to Leave: How to Create Real Connection Without Being Cringey

    July 30, 2025
    Uncategorized

    “Can We Stay Just a Little Longer?” That’s the moment every youth leader lives for.Not because the game was wild or the snack was good—but because something deeper happened.The Spirit lingered. The connections stuck. The youth didn’t just attend—they belonged. But how do you create a night like that?And how do you do it without…

  • How to Plan a Youth-Led Fireside That Actually Works

    July 28, 2025
    Uncategorized

    We all want our youth to develop real gospel confidence—not just the kind that shows up on paper. But too often, youth firesides are either stiff and over-directed… or chaotic and off-topic. There is a better way. A youth-led fireside can be a powerful tool for spiritual strength for teens, especially when it’s built with…

  • High-Impact Activity Ideas That Don’t Require a Big Budget

    July 26, 2025
    Uncategorized

    Let’s be honest—money doesn’t make youth activities meaningful. A giant inflatable obstacle course might bring laughs, but it doesn’t automatically build testimonies or connection. If you’re a youth leader working with little to no budget, you’re not at a disadvantage. You’re in the perfect position to prioritize gospel-centered youth activities that develop character, leadership, and…

  • One Theme, Four Weeks: Planning a Spirit-Driven Monthly Series That Builds on Itself

    July 25, 2025
    Uncategorized

    If your ward’s youth nights feel a bit disconnected—like you’re just cobbling together mutual activity ideas from week to week—you’re not alone. A lot of leaders are doing their best just to fill the calendar. But what if you could do more than plan activities? What if you could build momentum? That’s where the One…

  • The Fastest Way to Kill a Testimony? Over-scripting Youth Night

    July 23, 2025
    Uncategorized

    “We Had Every Minute Planned…” You show up to youth night with a printed schedule, full-page handouts, and three object lessons prepped.You know exactly what you’re going to say, and how they should respond. It’s going to be amazing. Until it… isn’t. The room goes flat. The youth stare. The Spirit? Nowhere to be felt.…

  • Planning a Multi-Night Challenge Project (And Why Teens Love It More Than You’d Expect)

    July 22, 2025
    Uncategorized

    The Surprising Truth About Teen Engagement Teens are often labeled as “easily bored.”But maybe they’re just under-challenged. Most youth nights are one-offs: show up, have fun, quick thought, go home.And while that format can work, it often leaves no time for transformation.The Spirit speaks—but there’s no follow-up. No deep dive. No growth arc. That’s why…

  • How to De-escalate Drama and Guide Teens Toward Real Conflict Resolution

    July 20, 2025
    Uncategorized

    If you’ve ever served in youth leadership for more than five minutes, you know: teen drama is real. Hurt feelings, passive-aggressive texts, side-eye during activities—it happens even among the most faithful. But drama doesn’t mean your youth are failing. It means they’re human—and still learning to manage emotions, relationships, and identity. The good news? These…

  • Why Youth Need to Fail Sometimes—And What Happens When You Let Them

    July 18, 2025
    Uncategorized

    You Hand Over the Lesson… and It Bombs The youth speaker freezes.The object lesson falls flat.The activity they planned gets confusing—and then collapses into chaos. And every adult instinct inside you screams: “I should’ve stepped in. I should’ve rescued them.” But maybe… you shouldn’t have. Because failure—real, messy, slightly awkward failure—is one of the most…
