Teaching a meaningful, memorable, hands-on Bible class is wonderful. If you really want to impact the spiritual lives of your students in meaningful ways for years to come, you will also need to become one of their mentors. Mentoring is not always easy and requires a long term commitment in many cases, but it gives ..read more

It is hard to find trustworthy statistics on how many people leave children’s and youth ministry. Look around at local churches and you will probably find quite regular turnover in both ministries (granted in many churches, children’s ministry is often managed by a volunteer). There are lots of different reasons for this, but I think ..read more

Bible memory work is a crucial part of teaching children and teens what God wants them to know. Technology aside, they need to have God’s words firmly in their hearts and minds. Sometimes they will have to make a split second spiritual decision and won’t have the time to use Google or look it up ..read more

We won’t get bogged down in the difference between talents and spiritual gifts, because I’m not sure it matters for our discussion on the topic. What does matter ..read more

One of the top reasons children and teens leave a church is because they didn’t feel like they had any friends there. As much as we would like to think it’s a problem just with young people, it can also be one of the reasons volunteers move on as well. Usually, this movement away in ..read more

Over the years I have encountered far too many teenagers and young adults who crumble under the weight of some sin. Often, it is some sin they have believed is somehow “unforgivable”. Perhaps it was a sexual sin, an abortion, drugs, violence…. it really doesn’t matter as long as the young person feels like he ..read more

No one wants to be embarrassed – especially children and teens in front of their peers. To young people, the truth can hurt, if telling it makes them look bad in front of their classmates. Young people have also learned over the years that telling adults what they want to hear is a lot less ..read more
