017: Church After Graduation

Graduation season can stir up every possible emotion. You’re proud of your seniors, but you may also be wondering if the faith they built throughout their time in youth ministry will stick as they move on. In this episode of Youth Ministry Answers, we got a question about how to prepare graduating seniors for a faith that lasts beyond their high school years. So Brooklyn and Damean share practical strategies for helping students take ownership of their faith, build meaningful relationships, and stay connected to Jesus after graduation. QUESTION: How can we help our seniors stay connected to their faith and the Church after they graduate? ANSWER: In this episode, we’ll talk about how to... * Shift your goals from participation to ownership * Build intergenerational connections so students have meaningful relationships outside of youth ministry * Normalize the transition after graduation and prepare students for what faith may look like in the next season * Stay in touch through intentional check-ins that remind students they’re still known, loved, and supported Ask a Question: Got a question you want answered?

When you’re starting in ministry, it’s common for leaders to feel simultaneously excited and completely unprepared for the challenges ahead. In this episode of Youth Ministry Answers, Wendell has a question about what experienced ministry leaders wish they had known before starting in youth ministry. So we asked the Stuff You Can Use team to share honest, practical insights, and Brooklyn and Damean respond to their thoughts while reflecting on lessons they’ve learned along the way. QUESTION: “What’s one thing you wish you knew before you got started in ministry?” — Wendell ANSWER: In this episode, we’ll talk about how to... * Let go of pressure to prove yourself and focus on meaningful stories over numbers * Listen well instead of trying to fix everything for students * Trust your voice, stay present in the moment, and prioritize your own spiritual health * Embrace growth as a lifelong process and lead with humility, curiosity, and consistency Ask a Question: Got a question you want answered?

episode 013: Helping Teenagers Grow Outside of Church cover

013: Helping Teenagers Grow Outside of Church

If we want students’ faith to stick throughout the week—not just during your weekly program—we have to think beyond what happens on stage and focus on the habits we’re helping them build every day. In this episode of Youth Ministry Answers, Sam has a question about how to help students build faith habits outside of church, not just during weekly programming. So Brooklyn and Damean share practical ideas to consistently reinforce key spiritual habits and create rhythms that help teenagers grow in their faith throughout the week. QUESTION: “How do you help students build faith habits outside of church?” — Sam ANSWER: In this episode, we’ll talk about how to: * Focus on four key spiritual habits that give students a simple, repeatable framework for growth * Make a plan by organizing your year and environments around those habits for consistency and clarity * Make it practical by providing tools, challenges, and experiences that help students practice these habits * Equip parents to reinforce these rhythms at home so discipleship becomes an ongoing partnership Ask a Question: Got a question you want answered?

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
