See if you can find the hidden pictures in these famous logos.

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.

Three years into Kendall’s job as the youth pastor of Grace church, many things are going really well: Kids are connecting and growing. She’s built a solid team of adult leaders. She and her husband love their home, city, and friends. But when Kendall is blindsided by her unsupportive senior pastor, who once again takes the side of a wealthy parent over Kendall’s, it’s the impetus she needs to start reconsidering her future. Is it time for Kendall to move on? And if she does look for a role at a new church, how can she be sure it will be a better fit than this one? 

With this fiction debut, veteran youth worker Jen Bradbury’s novel explores the process of living in to your calling, listening to the voice of God, and continually asking the question, What does the right fit look like, and how do you know when you’ve found it?

Hierarchical, coercive leadership should have no place in the church. But if we move away from those unbiblical (and ineffective) forms of power-based leadership, we still need to lead. In Leading Without Power, Mark Oestreicher explores—in very pragmatic ways—what it might look like for us to replace power-based leadership modalities with other approaches.

You will be given a clue and one letter of the answer. That's pretty much it. Let's do this!

Welcome to Total Survival – College Football Edition, the gridiron guessing game where only the sharpest fans (or luckiest guessers) survive! Whether you're a college football fanatic or just here for the fun, this game will test your instincts as you try to figure out if each new stat is higher or lower than the last. From rushing yards to penalty flags, every round is a new challenge—and one wrong move will send you to the sidelines!

How to Play:
Start by showing a college football–themed question and reveal the number answer. Then display a new question—without the answer—and ask students to guess if the new number is higher or lower than the previous one. Students who think it's higher move to the left side of the room, and those who think it's lower move to the right. Once everyone picks a side, reveal the answer. If you guessed wrong, you're out! Keep playing new rounds until only one student remains—or see how many can survive the whole season!
