Caption this photo & win $50

June 15, 2012 by 57 Comments

Several times a year my good buddy (and youth ministry hero) Duffy Robbins and I will conduct seminars for youth workers (Speaking to Teenagers) and parents (Building a Faith that Lasts). We always have a blast together and I’ve documented several good Duffy Robbins‘ stories on this blog (Korea and Dr. Ruth to name a couple) in the past. Anyway, I got this photo sent to me of an event we did last month in Syracuse, NY and I thought it needed a caption.

Provide the most creative caption and you’ll win $50 to DownloadYouthMinistry.com. Share them here.

[After 56 comments, we picked a winner (which was very difficult since many were very funny--and, to be honest, a couple were dumb--you know who you are). The winner is: "Duffy shoots himself in the head as Doug unveils yet another youth ministry acronym." Congratulations Neal Bowes! I'll email you a code to receive $50 in material from DownLoadYouthMinistry.com]

[Are you getting Doug's daily blog in your email inbox?] If not, it’s real easy–go here.

    My wife added “I’d rather have a root canal than listen to this pitch for the Youth Ministry Certificate again!”

  • Benjer McVeigh

    Wishing to give seminar attendees a varied display of “Looks on teenagers’ faces that tell you you’ve lost ‘em,” Duffy demonstrates one of the rarest yet deadliest of all: the “I’m-so bored-I-don’t-even-have-enough-energy-to-properly-pick-my-nose” look. Only two confirmed cases have been documented.

  • Rdeetilley

    Doug “there he goes again talking about those new dentures. We’ll never reach teens like this!”

    Doug: ” I cant believe he’s doing this”

  • Kerileigh

    I think the most effective way to speak to teenagers is to enter their world. Vampires are big these days. I’m thinking of getting fang implants right here. Students will flock to me!

  • Sheila Murphy

    This is classic Dad.  If my dad is picking his nose and he gets caught in the act, he’ll pretend he’s picking his teeth!  Pretty smooth, eh?

  • Helloyouth

    Looking into the future, false teeth are on the horizon for Duffy
