The Big News - PlanetWisdom Is Now Part of Youth Specialties

PlanetWisdom is now part of Youth Specialties!

For years WisdomWorks has had a great relationship with my publisher and uber youth ministry resource provider, Youth Specialties, helping each other in a variety of ways. Back in 2006 we started discussing the possibility of bringing the PlanetWisdom student events under their umbrella, but the timing just never seemed to be right... until a few months ago. A few conversations with the leadership of Youth Specialties and Zondervan (YS parent company) revealed that God was opening opportunities in both our organizations.

Decisions like this are never made quickly and without counsel (I am accountable to a board of directors who unanimously approved of this transfer) and I am finally glad we are done with discussions and are able to share the news with you.

You may ask what will change? Probably very little this year that wasn't already in the works. We are 90 days out from our first PlanetWisdom conference of the new season and most of it is already prepared to go, and you will notice some improvements too. Since Jonathan (who puts planetwisdom.com together), myself, and other key WisdomWorks employees will move over to YS to lead these ministries, you can expect the things you love about us to still be there. We are also gaining alot of wonderful new help that will only make PlanetWisdom better.

Clicking on this link will take you to the official press release including a short video from The Skit Guys.

Love you all and can't wait to see you at a PlanetWisdom event near you!
