This week as we celebrate the life and legacy of Rev. Graham and his ministry, do not forget it began as a teenage convert before leading to being the world's best known (and maybe most impactful) evangelist. If you work with students in any capacity, I encourage you to remember the opportunity of influence that you have. Look around at the faces of the students you interact with and just imagine the potential for impact. The possibilities are endless of what God can do with a young man or young woman that fully surrenders their life and focus on Him. 

How can singing llamas fit in with worship and a sermon? You’d be surprised. Games, if done right, have a fantastic purpose in youth ministry. I’ve been creating youth ministry games for a decade, and I’ve seen a common trend. Read on as Parker Stetch has heard from tons of youth workers who fall into one of three camps when it comes to games in their ministry.

It is our joy to serve you in the name of Jesus. Merry Christmas.

Growing up in a church where my mother was leading the drama ministry meant that I played Jesus every single year. And I do mean Every. Single. Year.

Check out this video with Terrance, Lee, and Lindsey as they are working hard to ship out copies of Arrival. Have you ordered your students copies yet? They are almost sold out.

With a tragedy like the one First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas what passages can you share with your students?

When asked, "Is there an absolute moral truth based on the word of God?" 91% of respondents said, yes. Furthermore, 93% of students said they believed the Bible was accurate in all it teaches.

What happens when a youth group begins to focus on relational evangelism?

As I mentioned in a previous post, I am super pumped about this study for a number of reasons. Primarily, I think it paints an awesome picture of what it means to be a follower of Christ. But there are more than a few other reasons I believe The Life is a curriculum you should seriously consider.

I am extremely excited about our newest 52-week Bible study, The Life. What gets me so excited is how this study gives students a comprehensive look at what it means to follow Jesus. I love helping students define what it looks like to live as a Christ-follower. Read More.

We have all had those backyard moments when we are imagining the closing seconds of the game in the sport of our choosing. The moment when we score the decisive points to win the game and we make our victory run with our arms lifted high into the air while the crowd goes wild. How sweet it is!

It’s that time of year, again. Graduation season is upon us, and for youth workers, this season will be spent at multiple graduations, graduation parties, and preparing for the “graduation” from youth group. There is no doubt that this is an exciting time of the year. As you look back at the countless hours invested in each student, you pray that he/she will continue in church, seek the Lord, and mature in the faith.
