last year, a bunch of youth workers in the midwest gathered for a dialogue around the ideas in youth ministry 3.0. i followed joel harris’s blogging about their conversations, and thought it was a very cool gathering — robust dialogue about youth ministry.
here’s how joel describes the event:
The goal of Seismos when it was started was to host a gathering (not a conference) of youth pastors that promoted dialogue and discussion among participants, was affordable, and dealt with issues that were relevant to the youth ministry that we love. Last year was a great start, with a gathering of 20 youth pastors from 4 states discussing “Youth Ministry 3.0” for three days. The conversations begun during these three days have had lasting results in our ministries, in our continued relationships, and in our personal lives.
so i was stoked when they asked me to join them this year for the second seismos event. check out joel’s post about it here. we’ll be wrestling with adolescent brain development (and its implications) as our primary theme. the event is cheap, and should be a kick.
it’s limited to 40 people, and is currently half-filled. so if you’re in illlinois, indiana, ohio, michigan or something else in that general vacinity, consider joining us!

I’ll be there!
I’m coming from Columbus, OH. If anyone wants to carpool, hit me up….
I wish I could be there. I just can’t make the date work. This makes me sad. But I know it will be great! Maybe next year?
Right now we’ve got folks driving from Michigan, Indiana, New York, Kentucky, North Carolina, and all over Ohio, so lots of carpooling options open if anyone needs one.
add Illinois to the mix : )
Where is it going to be? I’m in Cincinnati? Might want to consider it.
