Youth live in the in-between: They’re no longer children but not exactly adults, growing through a God-designed season of life that is tumultuous, exciting, and essential. How can we best love, encourage, and challenge the young people in our lives, helping them live into their gifts and grow toward spiritual maturity? And where should we look for these answers?

In these videos, we will explore strategies to help overcome busyness by looking at key solutions to help students prioritize their faith.

The Old Testament can seem like this ancient, out-of-reach, or unknown part of the Bible. While there may always be parts we will not fully understand, it doesn't mean we should avoid teaching it. One of our goals as youth workers is to help students better understand God's Word. In this video, we will discuss 4 different ways to help students understand the Old Testament.

Meetings, planning, and forecasting. These are all things a great leader does on top of everything else. However, sometimes, when we are in our planning mode, it can be hard to know who to have in the meeting, what to do, and how to do it. In this video, we will look at how to plan an effective brainstorm meeting. A chance where you get to dream, build, create, and innovate. You want to get this right and make sure you have the right people and parameters set for this meeting.

Burnout happens every week in ministry. People are dreading their jobs, turning their back, and trying to escape. What if there were some symptoms we could look for in our own life? Check out this video to understand what burnout is and how to avoid it in your life.

There are a ton of "things" you have to do to ensure that you are ready each week for your youth ministry programming. Rather than focusing on a bunch of to-dos, here's a helpful framework to make sure you are ready mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.

Giving away ministry to students helps them develop a sense of ownership. There are several ways to do this, one of which is to let students pick the type of music in your ministry environments. Check out the video to see some helpful parameters to doing that and why it can make a difference in the life of a student.

Summer is the time for cookouts, mission trips, pool parties, camps, retreats, and so much more. But what if you decided to take advantage of the change in your typical youth ministry rhythm and pace that summer provides and use it to pour into your ministry’s leaders this summer? In this video, I want to offer you a look into our student ministry and share with you three tips we put into practice every summer to be more intentional about leveling up our ministry leaders.

When you think about your students and student ministry, here are two questions I’d like you to consider: 1) What are you doing to help teenagers take more ownership and be more active or engaged during your small group experience? 2) Instead of allowing students to be passive participants in this formative time, what can you do or dream up that could give them regular opportunities to be discipled and grow in their faith in practical ways? Now, I don’t claim to have it all figured out, but we have created and implemented an idea in our student ministry that seems to be effectively answering these two questions. That’s why I want to share this idea for you to use in our own ministry or to serve as inspiration to try something different to move your students from “renters” to “owners” of your student ministry.

The students of Gen Z and Gen Alpha are seeking to belong before they believe. As youth workers, we can either fight against that felt need or come up with creative ways to meet a student’s need and desire for belonging. It starts with asking a simple question: What are some concrete ways that I (and those who serve alongside me) can help teenagers find belonging within our youth ministries? From there, it’s honestly a mix of creativity and trial/error. In this video, I want to act as a catalyst for your imagination as you seek to answer this question in your ministry by sharing three ways our ministry does to foster unity and belonging.
