Here I am with the world's biggest Mavericks fan, Ben Hurlburt, willing to lose bets no matter how bad they are. Ben Hurlburt (00:05.998) That's right, you know it. Google it, it, and you'll than your favorite player. Ben Hurlburt (00:14.03) Yeah, unfortunately. Yeah. Nick Clason (00:15.775) That's also true. But me and Ben actually worked together at Cross Creek Church, which is great. And I didn't know that Ben was a genius at artificial intelligence. So before we dive into all that, why don't you just tell me where you first started playing the original inception of these sniper games and... Ben Hurlburt (00:23.746) Have a Nick Clason (00:41.601) how like what the rules are and like all that type of stuff in case, know, someone wants to use or utilize this in their like own ministry context. Ben Hurlburt (00:51.468) Yeah, so I started this. I didn't start this, but I started playing the game of sniper at Texas A when I was in college. honestly, it wasn't even a game. was it was just a bunch of friends in a group chat. who thought it was really funny whenever we would see each other in person as a, like not in our normal context. So like we all went to church together, but A has a huge campus. So we thought it was really funny whenever we see each other on campus. So we just like take a picture of each other from like really far away and then not say anything like to them in person. We just sent the picture of them and it was kind of like, yo, they were there and where'd they go? And it started off just kind of, you know, like, ha ha, I saw you in person. And then it got a lot. more competitive as it went on. People didn't want to be sniped, if you will. We had certain buildings where it was like, no, don't snipe me in there. I could be doing something with, I could be on something job related, because you've got all these job fairs and stuff like that all the time. So people didn't want to be distracted. So it kind of morphed from this just kind of funny, ha ha, I saw you in person to getting really really competitive and while it never became like a fully fledged game it always the sport management major in me always saw like the untapped potential for like some crazy stupid like game that people could play on their phones and actually like you know you're still kind of behind the screen but it's all about what's actually happening in front of you so yeah Nick Clason (02:28.375) Yeah. All right. So the basic premise though, is you have a group of people, a pool of players, so to speak, and your goal is to capture them via a picture of using your cell phone. Like basic, simple, right? Yeah, so easy. And then like enter fall 2025, where we work. Because we're the youth ministry and we're the only fun ones, it's our job to run Ben Hurlburt (02:33.326) Yeah. Ben Hurlburt (02:40.0) Right. Yeah. So easy. Ben ...

    Episode 185: This Disney Trip Accidentally Gave Me My Best Camp Game Ever
    Jan 22 2026
    I stumbled into this camp idea, and I'm going to give it to you today! How I discovered it, what I've done that's worked, and how you can adapt it for your context. This is a great Winter Retreat, Summer Camp or D-Now game concept that runs in the background of your student ministry event!

And halfway through the shift, I realized that this would be a perfect camp, winter retreat or D now game option and make sure that you stick around to the end of this video, because I'm going to share with you a cheat sheet so that you can win at this in your context. 00;00;25;50 - 00;00;46;02 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Welcome, everybody, to the Hybrid Ministership. So like I said there, I was at Disney and they had this like niche like almost like hard to figure out. Like the orange bird. Like, you know, I'm talking about you'll see here on screen if you're watching here on YouTube, they had this thing hidden just like a printed out like cutout of this of this bird. 00;00;46;07 - 00;01;04;34 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And you had to find it every day, and then you'd return to, like, the activity center. And all you would do is you tell them where you found them. And the first day they gave you, like a little prize for finding it. But they redid it every single day. And about halfway through the trip, I was sitting there thinking to myself, you know what? 00;01;04;39 - 00;01;31;01 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry This would make an amazing camp game. And I actually put that application to the test. But here's what made this idea work in student ministry, right? The anticipation, obviously, like, where am I going to find it the next day? Plus, it's an easy, low hanging opportunity to engage kids who might be bored during free time. So let me explain this game to all right. 00;01;31;01 - 00;01;50;21 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So we'll do a side by side comparison. So at Disney you needed to find some sort of object. Obviously as I said it was the orange bird for them. But in our ministry context we actually have like a a designed platypus. His name is Pugsley the platypus. And this was designed just by an illustrator that we found on Fiverr. 00;01;50;21 - 00;02;09;09 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry I'll link his details down below if you want to check out his work. But he designed this for us. And so we get these little custom pins with the different like design adaptation printed for all of our different like events throughout the year. So he'd make us like a custom one for for camping. But you know, you're able to lean in pretty hard with different platypus stuff. 00;02;09;09 - 00;02;29;56 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Like here's some some cards that we have made in the artwork, and you can just get random like platypus designs of stuffed animals. Of course, there's there's Perry the Platypus and they got all sorts of like Perry the Platypus merch and mugs. And so we've leaned in really hard with the platypus being our mascot, which linked right here at the top of the video, I explained these bracket style ideas talk about in ...

I'm here with Andrew. Andrew, how you doing this morning, bro? Andrew Jansen (00:07.725) doing good. God is good. It's a good morning. Getting into my emails and excited to talk about the game thing that you want to talk to me about. Nick Clason (00:17.39) Yeah. I'm glad, like, I hope that talking about the game thing is more exciting than your emails. That's, that's, that's my hope for all of this. Um, but yeah. So I, you know, I, you and I, we've known each other for a couple of years now, mostly through zoom, but we've hung out two times in person. And one of the times that we hung out in person, I was at your church. Um, Andrew Jansen (00:26.057) I hope so too. Yeah. Definitely. Nick Clason (00:44.974) Helping you out with like a like a retreat conference. What would you call that thing? It's a conference, right? Andrew Jansen (00:51.297) Yeah, it's like a student conference between like 250, 500 people give or take which year you're at the conference. Yeah. Nick Clason (00:58.21) Yeah, that's a big, that's a big range. But one of the things that you guys did that I loved was you had this game happening in the background of the conference, I guess. It wasn't like a stage game, though you had stage games. It wasn't like a big thing that in the main general session that took a lot of time, if any time. Like aside from maybe just like explaining the rules. it was like, it was this like assassin type game. tell me, like just explain to the people. Cause what I loved about it was that it was an activity to do in the margins and ongoingly throughout the weekend that kind of kept you, kept students engaged and having something, you know, to kind of like focus on and do like above and beyond just like all the normal conference attend attending like stuff. So. Andrew Jansen (01:33.39) Yes. Nick Clason (01:55.478) Where did this idea come from? How did it go? Like, let's talk about it. Andrew Jansen (01:56.152) Yes. Andrew Jansen (02:00.139) Yes, so like all great ideas, I stole it from, I believe we played this game in my youth ministry growing up. So my youth pastor, question mark, shout out Jake Lindhart. He's a great youth pastor. But I'm sure he stole that from somebody as well before him, but it's the original game was played with rubber bands and you would like, you would like snap a rubber band on. So I grew up in the nineties. Nick Clason (02:18.446) Yeah Nick Clason (02:24.568) Okay. Andrew Jansen (02:29.701) early 2000s youth group era where we did all kinds of things that would get you fired nowadays, but where you would literally snap people with rubber bands and if you snapped them while they weren't looking, then they were assassinated and they would give you their name that they had been...

And this is what I found out. Now, here's the thing. I'm going to be evaluating based on these personalization reels and shorts and cost. And we're going to see who goes and takes the cake. So I have seven different social media packs. 00:00:26:28 - 00:00:49:05 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And I want you to stick around to the end because I do believe I have uncovered and I've found the best social media pack for youth ministries in the world. Let's go. Okay, so this first one here that I found again, just remember a quick, simple Google search. I found a life church, which is, their open platform. 00:00:49:07 - 00:01:12:20 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry It is free, which is amazing. But one of the things I noticed when I actually clicked in on it was that it just very simply was a, a standard quick graphic pack. So this isn't even really a social media pack as much as it is some social media images to post to your social media. So is it's a ten like it's free and you can grab it. 00:01:12:20 - 00:01:34:13 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry But if you want to edit it, like if you want to put your actual student ministry like students and pictures on there, like it's maybe like a one because it's just JPEGs. Like there's not even a Photoshop file or a Canva graphic that you can swap out their pictures with your own pictures. So, let's if you want to just post what they have, we'll give it a ten. 00:01:34:13 - 00:01:52:08 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry But like, let's just put it out of five and then, the personalization touch because you can't edit it. It's, it's a one like you can't it's not your youth ministry at all. Unless maybe you put your like youth ministry logo just in the corner somewhere. So we're just going to stick that one. Reels and shorts. It's a zero. 00:01:52:08 - 00:02:16:15 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry It's there's no reels and shorts. Here is, it's, graphic. It's, picture. And then finally cost, we're going to give it a ten on cost, which means it's cheap. So, high on the cost meter, which means that it was free. So the total score for Life Church is 15 out of 40. The next one is the dim monthly pack. 00:02:16:15 - 00:02:37:15 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And so kind ...

    Episode 181: How I Ran Social Media While at a Conference - - DYM 100 Challenge Pt 3
    Dec 25 2025
    A Christmas miracle for youth pastors everywhere! A few months ago I went to the DYM 100 Roundtables, and without lifting a finger, or distracting my entire experience, this is how I regularly posted on my church's social media, while in attendance for the conference!

I barely had to work and I want to show you how, which is an incredible gift to give you on this Christmas morning. Merry Christmas everyone, and welcome to the Hybrid Ministry Show. Merry Christmas Eve. Pastors. My name is Nicholas. And if you and I have not had a chance to meet, 00:00:23:17 - 00:00:45:18 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Or if you're not listening to this on the day it drops, which is Christmas, I drop every single Thursday. I haven't missed a Thursday in over three years. And it just so happens to be Christmas morning when this one drops, I want to give you one of the best gifts that I think I can give youth pastors. Most youth pastors know and see and understand the need for a strong social media and digital presence. 00:00:45:18 - 00:01:08:25 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry If not, you should check out my completely free e-book, which is link down below and that will hopefully convince you about why you need a strong social media presence. But the gift that I can give you pastors. And then I want to give you pastors, is a plan and a framework for consistency. I was over at the DUI 100 conference and social media basically ran itself. 00:01:08:25 - 00:01:28:19 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Now, full disclosure I still grab my phone, I still download it out of our Google Drive, and I still uploaded it to TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. However, those things were sitting there for me, ready to post. I didn't need anything new. I didn't need to do any extra work. When I was out there. They got the job done for me. 00:01:28:26 - 00:01:56:09 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And the baseline and the basis for all of that is my winter seasonal social media pack, which I want you to have now. I'll be honest, it does come with a little bit of a cost because frankly, it's a lot of work to put together. But here's how I've set the pricing structure. The pack costs $17.99, but if you become a $4 per month hybrid Hero Patreon member, you get that pack included. 00:01:56:13 - 00:02:22:26 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So if the pack is meant to last a run of three months, $4 per month for you for three months is $12, and you get a $5 off on that pack as well. As we are trying to hit a goal this month only where we make by next week's episode. As this drops that we make 25 new members in the Hybrid Heroes Patreon tier, and if we hit that to everyone involved in the community. 00:02:22:26 - 00:02:44:12 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So if you help, or if you know someone and you share a link we ...

It's this bigger picture of having students being able to ask questions is actually really, really, really healthy. That line alone, plus this llama t shirt was worth the cost of the entire trip. Welcome, everybody to the Hybrid Ministry show. What's up everybody? Welcome back to another episode of the Hybrid Ministry shown in this episode, I'm detailing and outlining the three takeaways that I had from the do I am 100 conference in the last episode linked right here, we talked about programing and adding sounds and sound effects and just making our introduction a little bit more lively. 00:00:40:10 - 00:01:07:14 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And what I saw and learned and took away from the D and 100 conference. And in this one, I'm gonna talk about a surprise breakout session that I did not expect. Now, here's the thing. Full disclosure, right? Like when I choose breakouts at a conference, more often than not, I'm choosing it based on the person. And so me and my friend Josh Bowman, like, I saw he was on the thing on the docket to lead a breakout. 00:01:07:14 - 00:01:30:13 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And I just thought to myself, I just like this guy. I know what he's going to do is going to be good. I'm going to go support him. I would not say that the topic listed on the breakout was what interested me. What interested me was the author of the breakout, not the actual content of the breakout. Now, to be clear, I didn't disagree with the content of the breakout. 00:01:30:13 - 00:02:00:02 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry It was essentially like how to make space for students to be able to disagree in your youth ministry. And I was like, okay, great. Like I love that. Like I'm here for that. And I think that that's a great topic. But his breakout was absolutely game changing. And like, I was shocked at not only how much I did agree, but some of the stuff he did that made me really think and wrestle with, oh man, like I'm not doing some of these things. 00:02:00:02 - 00:02:22:23 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And so I came back from the conference and I was debriefing, and I was downloading, and I thought to myself, like, that might be my biggest takeaway from the entire conference is how to do a better job of creating space for students to disagree. And now, as this episode drops middle of December, most of us have wrapped up our our fall semester of programing. 00:02:22:23 - 00:02:48:11 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry We got Christmas services on the horizon and, then maybe a week off after Christmas and then we're back for the New year. And this is the perfect time to break something and to add something in. And so I actually got the chance to sit down and have an exclusive conversation with Josh, who, gave the premise for his breakout of why students need to be able to have the space to disagree. 00...

And today I am sharing with you the first one. Spoiler alert is not the one that I expected. Plus, stick around to the end of the episode because I am giving away a free Christmas party run sheet, complete with the resources and everything you need so you can grab that down bel 00:00:26:29 - 00:00:33:19 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Link in the description, which will go into detail and explain at the end of this episode. Welcome everybody to the Hybrid Ministry show. 00:00:33:19 - 00:00:44:10 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So I went to the do I am 100 conference where I got this notebook and of course this llama t shirt, which, you know what? When else are you going to need to get a llama t shirt? 00:00:44:10 - 00:01:16:21 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry You're wearing it after the Darwin 100 conference, with the goal of coming away with three takeaways, and I was going to vlog it and take videos and explain my process. But man, if you've ever been to one of these events like you know that like you just get sucked into the vortex of friendship and community and conversations. And so I only took like 20 videos and like half of them are like receipt uploads or like videos of the van rental to make sure that they weren't going to scam me afterwards. 00:01:16:26 - 00:01:40:18 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry But in these next three episodes, I'm going to talk about not only things that you can use and learn and take away for, like your December Christmas parties, but also things that I and our youth ministry team are going to be thinking about on into the future of 2026 and how we do youth ministry. I also have some freebies and some stuff, going along and that I'm going to be giving away. 00:01:40:18 - 00:02:02:09 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So pay attention to the link down in the description for all of these next couple episodes. But in this episode we're going to be looking at, and the thing that I took away was programing. Okay. And like in the room, if you've ever been to a do I am 100 event, it is hosted by Doug Fields and Josh Griffin, who are both the masters at programing. 00:02:02:09 - 00:02:21:08 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Like to the point that like I think we had we had one session with worship and it was like a special kind of like unplug, more like chapel and like spiritually charged, focused, kind of like session, but otherwise every other kind of like element within the room was done without any sort of worship or without any sort of band. 00:02:21:16 - 00:02:46:06 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry But you never felt like something was missing. Like it was an amazingly programed event. And like, I have taken pride in my own programing to the point that I have my own Patreon show every single week detailing our ...
