Student Ministry Chat with the Youth Ministry Blog

If you haven't checked out theyouthministryblog.com, I encourage you to subscribe and read. I've enjoyed contributing on the blog to help encourage other youth leaders. I was interviewed on the podcast recently as we talked about building a healthy ministry and how to view events. Here are some highlights of the talk:

  • The more time you spend in ministry, the LESS events you want to do.
  • Do fewer events and make them higher quality.
  • Put more energy & resources into your WEEKLY ministry.
  • Don’t Event yourself to death.
  • We don’t have to keep our students busy to protect them from the world!
  • “Your job is to mobilize students & volunteers to fulfill God’s calling on their life.”

New Series - "Home Improvement"

home_improvement New Source Student ministry series for November! 

Families are not perfect.  Every family is weird in their own way.  Even with all the weirdness happening, there a few things that everyone still has in common.  Each family has disagreements and arguments, and every family struggles to know and understand each other.  We all come from a family with some type of need for improvement.  We need our family, and this series will unpack the need for home improvement.

Week 1 - Honor your Parents The Word: Ephesians 6:1-3, Luke 2:51-52 Main Thought: Honor opens the door to a healthy relationship with parents.

Week 2 - Communicate and Listen The Word: Ephesians 4:24-29, Proverbs 18:13 Main Thought: The relationship is more important than winning the argument. 

Week 3 - Forgive The Word: Ephesians 4:30-5:2, Romans 12:18 Main Thought: Pursue a relationship with your parents no matter what.
