Fresh Calling is an encouraging and practical guide for youth pastors and ministry leaders who feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or disheartened in their calling. Drawing on over 30 years of ministry experience, Steve Spence shares personal stories, biblical insights, and practical steps to help leaders reconnect with their "why" and reignite their passion for ministry. Through powerful anecdotes and relatable wisdom, readers will find a renewed sense of purpose and joy in their God-given calling.

Jesus’s intent is to bring all people into the community of faith—and to give each person a significant role to play. What does this mean for you as a student leader? Through real-life anecdotes, practical tips, and key passages of Scripture, Becoming a Student Leader will help you discover more about who you are and the purpose you serve.

In this edition of our “multi-views” series, the chapters are authored by a group of youth ministry thought leaders. We asked them two key questions: What are the problems youth ministry currently faces? And what is the pathway forward? Each chapter represents a thoughtful, practical, and challenging viewpoint. At the end of each chapter, there is a sidebar from an in-the-trenches youth worker whose ministry is currently living out the future the chapter’s writer foresees.
