Breaking Down The "Why?" Question In Our Youth Ministries

By paul turner

Why don’t we start with asking why before we create another ineffective program? I used to think that if I told kids what we did (events, fun, concerts, etc.) and how we did it ( with energy, lots of give aways, food, big crowds) they would be sold, come to the event, and then stick around for a while. Had I stuck to that premise only, I would have left youth ministry a long time ago. The what and the how no longer excite me, but the why is still what has kept me going.

Josiah Road

By Harold Harper

The Josiah Road Leader's Guide contains everything necessary to lead Josiah Road, a spiritual development study that focuses on motivating students to lead as Christ followers in their communities.

Inspired by principles gleaned from the biblical account of King Josiah (2 K. 23; 2 Chron. 34), this study examines Josiah’s journey of faith that brought him face-to-face with a culture that had turned its back on God. Instead of simply going with the flow, Josiah sought to restore his nation’s spiritual and moral foundation with a zeal only God could provide.

This leader's guide for the corresponding five-week curriculum can be adapted to a weekend retreat.

Includes:

• leader helps
• discussion cards
• memory verses

This weekend, I was talking with one of my former helpers who is now leading the youth group in the town he has moved to. We discussed resources and practices. I gave him suggestions from the point of “If I were starting youth ministry today, what would be the most helpful resources?”

The Good Vampire Debate

By Christopher schmitz

Last night I had a neat opportunity to tour a movie theater and walk through the projectionist’s booth.

In the course of that I saw some posters for the new Twilight movie coming out. I talked with some theater workers about their thoughts on the New Moon movie...
