Andy Brazelton.
Andy embodies someone who is called to youth ministry – and knows how he should express it. I love that Andy embraces his call in a unique way. I love that Andy’s method of impacting students comes through quality resources and equipping the adults who lead teenagers. And I especially love that he has leaned into that calling – embraced it – without apology. (You can tell every time he gets called to stand in front of people how much he embraces his ‘behind-the-scenes’ life.)
But I want to bring Andy out front today. It’s his commitment to youth ministry and heart for youth workers that make The Simply Youth Ministry Conference happen. He has become a good friend – and he is a really good man – and a great youth ministry.
Meet Andy at SYMC this year. Get familiar with his more ‘distinctive’ qualities on his blog, Facebook, or Twitter.
Everyone's Called to Youth Ministry 
Much love my friend!
