NYWC Memphis

It’s been said that guys are like waffles and girls are like spaghetti — two foods that sound terrible together. Many youth ministers feel overwhelmed when they look out at a room filled with middle school girls and guys. How do you keep the guys engaged without frustrating the girls? How do you talk about feelings without the guys resorting to armpit noises? How do you honor both genders when they’re so different? Drawing from 20 years of experience with middle schoolers, Heather Flies will offer practical ideas on middle school programming, teaching, activities and relationships.
