Assessing Your Youth Ministry: 3 Big Questions That Change Teenagers
with Dr. Kara Powell
(Teaching videos and discussion questions)
What’s included:
- Two teaching videos, totaling less than 15 minutes
- A discussion questions handout to guide viewers through conversation
This free video and discussion resource is aimed at adults in the church, and would be great for either a Sunday school class or all-church discussion.
This resource was created by the Timothy Circle.
What you’ll learn with this resource:
- The top three questions that young people are asking in their lives.
- How young people answer those questions currently, and how the answers we’d rather they have can shape our youth ministry.
- How to use these questions as a lens to improve your conversations with young people, improve your insights about them, and improve your youth gatherings and offerings.
