A Fresh Look at Youth Ministry
I’m convinced we need a total re-envisioning of youth ministry, a reformation if you will. Until then, we’ll continue to have massive turnover in youth leaders. Why? Because all that work without changed lives to show for it is downright emotionally debilitating.
The good news? God has already laid out a radical paradigm in the book of Acts that can transform how we do and view youth ministry. It’s built on timeless principles that fueled Jesus’ ministry and the growth of the early church.
Apply these values and you’ll see spiritual progress in kids’ lives as well as growth in your ministry. These two factors will inspire you to remain a youth leader until God moves you to another post.
What are these game-changing values? Download a free copy of my book Gospelize Your Youth Ministry to discover the seven values of a Gospel-advancing, disciple-multiplying youth ministry.
Put these values into practice, and you’ll exponentially increase your longevity in youth ministry. Why? Because you’ll experience spiritual growth and the right kind of numeric growth (new believers added to your group) like never before.
So don’t quit youth ministry. But do quit doing typical youth ministry. It’s time to kick off an audaciously bold philosophy of ministry that’s 2,000+ years old!
