By Dr. Ben Birdsong. Understanding the generations we serve can be a great tool for the youth worker. With this tool, we can understand the needs, struggles, and mindsets of each generation so we can faithfully point them to the truth of the gospel. With this tool, we can help parents to better understand their children and disciple them well. With this tool, we can help the older adults in the church better understand the generations who have come behind them. With this tool, we can listen to the heart cries of a generation, become a listening ear for them, and encourage them that Jesus will be with them and He never fails. In this module, we will dig into the latest information concerning Generation Z and Alpha in an effort to better understand who they are and how these insights should impact our approach to ministry to them.

Written by Kerry Ray. Do you ever wonder why it feels so difficult for you to gain any real traction with the students you are leading? It's probably not breaking news to learn that teenagers are busier and more distracted than ever. By most estimates, a "regular attendee" is defined as a student who shows up around 1.7 times each month. On top of that, recent studies suggest that teenagers are dropping out of the church in record numbers, with 80% saying they're doing so simply because they've lost interest or stopped seeing the church as necessary to their life. So what are you doing to address this when it comes to your students and your ministry context? Do you recognize and account for the differences between Generation Z and Alpha in your approach to ministering to them? Have you examined, tweaked, or started to strategize new ways to meet this generation of students where there are rather than where you want them to be? In this 7-session module, we'll ask some thought-provoking questions and identify some practical steps every youth worker or small group leader can take to address these issues, cut through the noise, re-evaluate our approach, and effectively meet students where they are versus where we want them to be.

Life is comfortable. But Jesus did not call us to a life of comfort. The life Jesus wants for us isn’t about making us feel better about where we are, it’s about choosing to follow Jesus where He wants us to go. Jesus calls us to a radical obedience of “go and tell.” We don’t just sit still. We get up!

Written by Matt Andrews. For years now, youth workers and church volunteers have lamented that teens don't know basic Bible stories. But have you noticed more and more teens don't know anything about the Bible at all?

Slaying Biblical Illiteracy contains practical tips, as well as group and individual exercises, that will inspire youth to experience God's Word for themselves. Learn to use the same creative skills you use to plan retreats and youth group games to bring the Bible to life using the unexpected in fun ways that will grab and keep your teens' attention. Learn how to help youth work through their trust issues with Scripture and learn Bible study methods you can try out as a group, so that your youth are empowered to study the Bible for themselves, slaying biblical illiteracy and unlocking the influence of God s Word in their daily lives.

Christmas is full of lights, songs, presents, and fun traditions. But with so much going on, it’s easy to forget about the most important part of Christmas. Christmas isn’t just about what’s under the tree—it’s about making room in our hearts for Jesus. To Prepare Him Room.

When Jesus came, He came close, not as a far-away king or someone too important to know, but as God with us. He was born in Bethlehem, laid down in a manger, and grew up to show us God’s love. Jesus is the Light of the world who came into our darkness to bring us hope, peace, and joy.

This 25-day, downloadable Christmas and Advent devotional will help you and your family get ready for celebrating the birth of Jesus by learning more about Him each day. With Bible verses, simple devotions, fun questions, and activities to talk about, you’ll discover what it means to Prepare Him Room this Christmas season.

Merry Christmas!
