Justin BolingMore PostsWanna Watch 2 Guys Get Their Back’s Waxed?

*This a Group Magazine Sponsored event!

We have challenged two of our team members, Scott Firestone & Jeff Storm, to a waxing challenge of epic proportions! They have one goal to not scream during the waxing of their backs. What do they get out of it? Well…technically they think the winner, ie the one not to scream first, gets an iPad2. However, they actually get a really nice key chain, but shhh don’t tell anyone!

Really they win something otherwise they wouldn’t do this, but the best part is everyone gets to watch the pain on the face of these two “men”! It will be priceless to say the least!

We know that you are intrigued, scared, or excited…all of which are great reasons to invite everyone you know to watch this live ONE-TIME event!

When: Wednesday July 13th @11am (Mtn)
Where: www.ScreamingDeal.tv

Justin BolingMore PostsGrowing Families…always get bigger!

Since unveiling LIVE Curriculum in 2009, we’ve remained committed to improving and expanding your resource options. Last year, we added lessons designed specifically for junior high students, and this year, we’re proud to introduce three new members of the LIVE family: Leadership, Book Studies, and Video.

These newest resources provide you with additional tools for building a vibrant youth ministry that helps lead students toward a Jesus-centered life. Use these lessons to equip your teenagers to become more effective leaders, more committed students of the Bible, and more engaged members of a small group community.

And just like you and your ministry, we’re committed to excellence, so our newest resources feature the quality lessons, creative activities, and relevant application you’ve come to expect and appreciate from LIVE Curriculum.

It’s that time a year when we roll out 40% off a ton of resources for 40 hours. It’s a great time to stock up and save on some of our best resources. There are student books, parent books, curriculum, bible studies, and games. I think you’ll find something that can help your ministry.
