i have checked it out and i think it looks great. you mentioned awhile ago that you were working on a 4 year plan. the idea of this new effort being customizable and also being pushed out to your team via the online piece is very cool. hoping i can save some more pennies (or be the “luck” of the roll) to make it a key part of our student ministry program.
looks great…love the idea and the execution. here’s hoping for a win!
This sounds like an Awesome tool. Thanks for all you do…
I have L.O.V.E.D. LOVED talking with Matty about this curriculum and excited about the prospect of using it! Here’s hoping the gnome that Josh keeps hidden in the bowels of the blog randomly picks my comment! (Hey gnome, I’ll give you cookies!)
Hey what happened to the URL box where we could leave a link back to our own blog? This new system is lame and not very reciprocal. Does YouthMinistry.com have some sort of link hoarding complex?
btw–the LIVE Curriculum looks very promising! It’s the longest running small group series I’ve run into.
Ooooo…. I hope I win… we are getting ready to start small groups this fall.
Pick me! Oh, and by the way, LIVE does look great. Thanks for taking small group material to the 21st century.
Just what every youth pastor needs. Thanks for your work on this. I know our ministry would greatly benefit from this.
I’ve been writing our own curriculum/small group material for quite a while now because quite honestly a lot of what I’ve seen out there is either shallow, or corny, or irrelevent, or just plain lame. But I’ve looked at LIVE and have been pretty impressed! Thanks guys, for doing quality. Its what most of us prefer!
Looks great! I’ll keep my fingers crossed!
I”m also putting together a plan for the small groups for the coming years and this seems like a great option. Plus the online sharing options make it great. here’s hoping….
Wanted to order the LIVE curriculum now I will wait to see if I win it! Thanks guys for producing great stuff for other churches to use!
LIVE looks fantastic and covers so many wonderful topics…it’s pretty solid. It would be fantastic to win though becasue coming from a church that doesn’t have $500 to drop makes it impossible to afford, and there are no plans to offer only one year at a time! I’ve loved everything else I’ve used from SYM and I’m sure this won’t disappoint.
Sounds good. We could really use this!
I have looked this over quite a bit…
This curriculum looks amazing. What you teach is one of the foundational blocks for a really “successful” youth ministry ( along with good relationship building / Discipleship )
I think you’re going to help a lot of programs take off…
toe-jam Football and monkey fingers! it would be cool to win….
Thanks for this opportunity, and your awesome blog!
Is there anyplace that I can check out an example lesson?
that sounds goog to me awsome small group curriculum for the low low price of free 50 free all i can say is pick me pick me
i meant good by the way
Can’t wait to see more! Small groups are such an important part of a healthy youth ministry and it’s great to have some wonderful tools like this for our leaders.
Would love to get it. That’s the only way I’m going to be able to afford this at my church. It would save me so much time every week. Being part-time it’s probably crazy to write a weekly message, and then curriculum for our middle school group, and curriculum for our high school group.
PICK ME… PICK ME…. PICK ME! It looks awesome:)
This looks great! Can’t wait to get plugged in to the Live curriculum!
I never win these things.. but Canucks gotta be represented!!
I have been checking this out and it looks great. I am a techie guy and this is really pushing youth ministry to a new level.
This looks awesome! Thanks bro
I first heard about this from Elliot Innes from Summerside PEI, Canada. I am really loving the online capabilities of this. Looking forward to finding a way to budget and work this into our local ministry!
Ooh, pick me…. (haves hand like a furious junior higher), pick me!
Great topics. Some of those I have not covered for not knowing how to go about them. This looks promising for bringing them up.
Great looking material that will also save me some time preparing to actually spend more time with students.
Very very exciting! Look at all the people who commented just to get something for free! For shame… I hope I win
Hey Josh—I would love to win this product!!! I have looked at it and sounds great—-just a little too expensive for a small church budget!!!
Small groups are so important to not only bring growth to ones personal walk with Jesus, but also to bring growth to the church in all ages. Would feel blessed to win your tools! Thank you for your time, passion and support.
cant wait to check out this live curriculum. I am in the middle of getting stuff ready for the next couple of years and this could be the way to go.
Live Curriculum looks nice. May the force be with me on the give away!
I hope you and your family are doing well.
sweetness free live curriculum!
Wow! I love this blog! Thanks for the opportunity at a chance to win.
Since you are picking winners randomly, guess I don’t have to think of anything catchy and creative to say.
Looks like a great tool. I loved the Experiencing Chirst Together so why not take a chance at wining the Live Curriculum.
Definitely seems like it would be a great resource to have
This space intentionally left blank
Wow! That is amazing!
I mean, really amazing!
Awesomely amazing!
Here’s my comment for my chance to win, win, win
Fight to the death: Star Trek’s Borg v. Star Wars’ storm troopers. Who do you take?
(The Live Curriculum looks awesome)
comment!
looks like great stuff!
What an awesome giveaway! This curriculum seems like such a great resource.
Just this week I had one of my youth ask me if we could do some one on one discipliship. This would be perfect for our weekly meetings!
We’re doing a HUGE small group kick-off this fall. I’d love to hook my team up with this!
*pick me!*
Would love to consider this but budget this year does not allow.
Went over the curriculum with our Youth Pastor and I liked being able to see a plan and also to know that it was flexible. You’ve put in a lot of work. God bless you for blessing others with this program.

Looks like a great curriculum…excited to possibly use it with our Sr. High ministry! even more so if I win!
While we would all love the 4 year plan – the one year at a time payment would be easier to bite off – though up front gets the pain over with too. Options?
This looks great! Can’t wait to use this with our amazing kids at our church…..can only get even better with this kind of curriculum
Planning on starting my trial soon… Would love the complete product, but it’s not in the budget for this year.
Josh, this product looks amazing! Would love to be able to use this with our students.
Please put my name in the fishbowl. Thank You
What an awesome give-away…looking forward to see who the lucky person is.
s-weet! i would be fascinated to see how this might work in a small church!
Would you really pick someone for a free giveaway who didn’t know the difference between an AT-AT and an AT-ST? This curriculum looks spectacular, and I hope I win it… otherwise, it’s back to the verse-by-verse through Leviticus…
ps- SYM podcast is awesome.
So if I have already ordered it and actually win this can I get some registrations to the Simply Youth Ministry Conference instead…by the way Matty McCage is the best!
looks great
I would love this for free…hope I win!
Love the concept around this, working from longer term plans always seems to be more sensible. Would be interested to see more on how it fits with the teaching syallabus.
Really loving the concept of this curriculum. I’d love to win it.
ummm…pick me? please.
This looks awesome!
This looks really cool.
