Conversations from the Couch is a blog from a few of us who work year-round at Group and SYM to bring the Simply Youth Ministry Conference to life. This is the behind-the-scenes reality of our ministry to youth workers, where we’ll share the latest conference planning conversations and excitement (and along with the great ideas that usually collide with timing, logistics and budget.)
