Here’s what I’ve got in my blog reader these days. I try to keep it paired down — I just don’t have time to read hundreds of blogs every day. But these are the ones I look at at least once a day (well, I look at my blog reader at least once a day — often more than that; but I skim unless something catches my attention). There are dozens of others – particularly youth ministry blogs – that I check in on from time to time, but aren’t listed here. And, if I find that someone hasn’t posted for a year, I unsubscribe. A few of these are very close to that!
The categories are somewhat arbitrary – they’re just what work for me!

Youth Ministry
(This is a tough category for me, because there are SO many wonderful youth ministry blogs. I read dozens and dozens more than this on an occasional basis. But these are the handful I find the most thoughtful and challenging, or, frankly, are just friends of mine in youth ministry that I want to stay current with.)
