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.

God’s Knowledge, one of the studies in the Activate line of the Bible study curriculum, will help your students rest in the truth that God is in control, that He sets things right, and that we are truly and forever known.

God’s Presence, one of the studies in the Activate line of the Bible study curriculum, will help your students live their faith through good times and bad; the notion that God is always with them is one that has great relevance in their lives.

Persecution, one of the studies in the Activate line of Bible study curriculum, will help students come to terms with living for Christ in a world that rejects Him.

God’s Love, one of the studies in the Activate line of Bible study curriculum, will help your students understand how much they are loved and valued by God, and how this powerfully impacts how they see their value and purpose.

God’s Glory, one of the studies in the Activate line of Bible study curriculum, will help your students know exactly what God's glory is, how it is expressed through Christ's work on the cross, and what it means to reflect God's glory in the world around them. 

“No matter what I do, or what I mess up, He always loves me. And that identity makes me want to live my life in worship of Him… and share that love with others.’”

Two teens are raising money for their summer mission trip. They are selling candy in their school and engage in conversation with a friend who does not know the Lord. She questions their motives and challenges their faith while asking important questions of her own. Students will see that worship is woven into the identity of believers and can be used to share the message of Jesus.

“Until then we wait, we hope. We carry His presence in this dark world. We shine the light. And we remember, through it all, He has been, He is, and He always will be, with us.”

Taking us through the Old and New Testaments, we are reminded of  moments where God is with his people. From the garden, the tabernacle, and the words of the prophets, God’s presence was evident. A gentle whisper, a pillar of fire, the Holy of Holies, and the sending of His own Son Jesus, Immanuel. God has always been with us. The piece culminates with the tearing of the veil when Christ died on the cross and rose again - allowing us full access to the Father through the presence of the Holy Spirit.

“So yes, something has to die for me. But that’s not all, something has to die in me.”

This spoken word sketch deals with the fears, anxieties, and frustrations that students face day to day. Reflecting on the mistakes of their past, the anxieties of the present, and the uncertainty of the future, students realize that in order to find freedom and hope, something has to die. It is Jesus. Through his death, we find the hope we deeply long for - by dying to ourselves and trusting Him for our future.

“God has something just as amazing and miraculous for you in store. It starts with Jesus. And it starts right here.”

Right In Front of You looks at characters in the Gospels who had physical encounters with Jesus. They saw the very Son of God, in the flesh, right in front them. But how did they choose to respond? Told through the eyes of shepherds, Pharisees, and soldiers, students will be reminded that while they may not physically see Jesus, His presence is real. So how will you choose to respond to Him? For He is here, ‘right in front of you.’

Moving from a game to worship can be challenging when the energy in the room is still wild from the game. In this hack video, we’ll unpack a simple yet powerful strategy for leading effective call to worship moments that help students transition into a focused time of worship.

You have probably seen the temptation for your seniors to want to check out as they get ready to graduate. But what if there was something more for them during their senior year? In this hack, we'll share a few ways to elevate seniors in their final year of youth ministry.

Part of our role is to help call students up into faithful obedience to the Lord. This hack encourages youth pastors to set the bar high for their students regarding teaching and spiritual disciplines. If we never set the bar high, they won’t have something to reach for or faith to grow into. Let’s raise the bar for our students.

In this learn course from the book of Titus, we'll explore timeless wisdom for student ministry today. We'll unpack that despite cultural challenges, our mission of sharing the gospel remains changed, the importance of selecting godly leaders, and how to set an example for non-believers.

Game planner, pizza orderer, Bible teacher, and graphic designer. These are all things you might find yourself doing during the year. In this masterclass video, we'll look at some helpful design platforms and ideas to inspire you and show you that graphic design doesn't have to defeat you.

This training addresses two common challenges in youth ministry: busy student schedules and student complacency. In these videos, we will explore strategies to help overcome busyness by looking at key solutions to help students prioritize their faith. We will also look at practical ways to help students overcome complacency and reignite their interest in being part of your ministry.

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.

Living up the expectations of others is often an impossible task. After work one evening, two students talk about image, perfectionism, and being honest with others about who they are on the inside, despite what they show on the outside. Through their brief interaction, they learn that letting God, and others, into our lives brings freedom.

“If the Lord Jesus Christ died and rose again so that I could be saved, He does for the Huaorani too. Whenever my husband would be afraid, I would hear him say ‘He is not fool to give what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose.’”

 He is No Fool is a fictional retelling of the events following the martyrdom of missionaries Jim Elliot and Nate Saint. Following their death, a reporter visited the missionary’s wives in Ecuador to tell the story. Through this story, we hear historically accurate details of the mission work to evangelize the Huaorani tribe, as Elizabeth Elliot and Marjorie Saint express their devotion to the Lord and their love for the Huaorani tribe.

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.

Whether you see it as a waste of time, a danger to society, a tool of a foreign government, or just the next version of Myspace that will go as quickly as it came, TikTok has your students’ eyes and attention. According to the Pew Research Center, TikTok claimed the #2 spot in the rankings of online platforms used by U.S. teens in 2023, surpassing the former powerhouses of Snapchat and Instagram. As we look at engaging our students and creating opportunities to share the Gospel with the lost, the question isn’t if TikTok will be banned or sold but how youth workers will redeem it and utilize it for the Glory of God. In part three of this three-part TikTok series, I want to share with you some ways to create engaging content while utilizing this social media platform in your ministry.
