In week one, I'll share about my youth ministry journey, including the mistakes I've made along the way, and how I've discovered a proven path to a vibrant youth ministry. We'll also discuss the main pitfalls you must avoid to be successful and last in youth ministry. You'll also get a chance to introduce yourself and share about your goals for your youth ministry!

Paul says, “Follow me as I follow the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 11:1). This week, I discuss the keys to consistently cultivating and living a vibrant walk with the Lord that is a worthy model for your students and leaders to follow.

We will address how we can effectively train students to know and converse about the gospel of Jesus in a relational and relentless way. What are the tools, programming priorities, and practical tools will we need to equip students using proven methods? Tune in this week to find out! 

Gospel Fluency is one thing but getting students to live out the mission in tangible action steps is another. This week, we focus on passion fuels needed to spark action among your students and how you can create urgency through casting a Bold Vision for your ministry.

This week is all about adult leader recruitment, training, and shepherding. How do you find quality leaders, what do you need to equip them with, and how do you maintain stellar leaders for years to come? We’ll tackle this and more during this crucial week.

Whether it’s a troublesome student, complaining parents, or overbearing senior leaders in your church, we tackle how to have Crucial Conversations and handle conflict in a graceful, holy way. Go from adversity to advocacy by implementing a few simple shifts in how you see and walk through conflict when, not if, it arises.

This week, we will cover the key systems you need in place to prepare your ministry for growth. What is the process for new student assimilation? How do parents know what’s going on? What happens when a student comes to Christ? What data do you need to collect and track regularly? And how do you effectively recruit and train volunteers?

One thing is for sure, you are crazy busy. But I fear you could be busy with the wrong things or even distracted by the less important things. This week, I’ll teach you the simple methods I use each week to prioritize the most important aspects of ministry that will net the biggest results and what to delete or delegate from your to-do list. You will gain deeper clarity and focus on how to get more done in less time so you can still be fully present with your students and family.
