Hey Youth Workers, For "normal" people, Spring usually seems like the season of all-thingsnew. But for us who are passionate about the lives of teenagers, the Fall always brings that "new car smell" of opportunities, do-overs, clean slates, and one of the most hopeful words in the English language: Possibilities.
Take your students and your mission work deeper…
Sure, this means lots of work for you. Lots of prep. Lots of planning. Lots of dreaming. And that's why we're here: we want to come alongside you and help you realize the dreams you have for teenagers, the dreams you have for your youth ministry, the dreams you have for your church.
E
There's some freakin' awesome new stuff in this catalog that we're pretty dang pumped about; and lots of older, tried-and-true resources as well. Our hope and prayer is that these resources will make your job easier, help you think in new ways, and help you realize those dreams. Your partners in ministry to teenagers, Marko, for the YS gang

Deep Justice Journeys 50 Activities to Move from Mission Trips to Missional Living | Kara Powell and Brad Griffin Today we are seeing more and more students anxious to make a difference in the world, and getting students involved in mission work is easier than it has been in previous years. But for justice work to make a real impact, leaders and students need to spend more time before, during, and after their service preparing for and processing their experiences. The lessons in Deep Justice Journeys will help you prepare students for what to expect during their mission trips and service projects and allow students to reflect upon their experiences. And since no two mission trips are the same, and each youth group will have its own challenges, this book includes 50 learning activities that you can choose from to customize your group’s lessons. In this book you will find— • Ideas to help get parents and the church engaged in your youth ministry’s short-term mission work. • Discussion exercises you can use to get students thinking about poverty, cross-cultural relationships, teamwork, and spiritual gifts. • Creative activities for debriefing to help your group wrestle with questions about students’ experiences. • Ideas for how your youth group can ensure the ongoing growth and service of your students once you return home to the “real world.” Written by leading youth ministry and missions experts and tested by youth ministries across the country, the practical tools included in this book will revitalize your service projects. Students will engage in learning exercises that help them learn new insights about themselves, their relationship with God, their teammates, and the world we’re called to love and serve. This ongoing process will help your students apply what they’ve learned in the mission field to their own lives and will ensure justice work that changes students to change the world around them.

Good Sex 2.0: A Whole-Person Approach to Teenage Sexuality and God
Use these 36 lessons from Doug Fields to explain Bible passages and principles, address life together, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, evangelism, and worship. With veteran youth workers featured in the DVDs, and six student journals, you’ll find the teaching, stories, exercises, application points, and much more to help lead small groups or entire youth groups closer together. Kit includes 1 copy of each of the six student journals and 1 copy of each of the three DVD leader guides. KIT ISBN #9780310253327
Student Journals
Remember the days when the youth ministry “Sex Talk” was simple and straightforward? Well, maybe it wasn’t that simple or straightforward, but today more than ever, the world our students are growing up in is saturated in sex. Everywhere they look (or listen) they get all kinds of messages about sexuality, and most of it is probably not helping them develop a healthy understanding of how their own sexuality fits into God’s plan for their lives.
Retail Price $9.99
The need for ongoing dialogue and learning about sexuality and how it connects with faith has never been greater. Trying to help students understand how their sexuality relates to God’s plan for their lives is a great challenge in a day when just about anything goes. Today, teenage sexuality includes things that might make some of us blush, like: • Hooking up • Oral sex (as a “safe” alternative to vaginal intercourse) • Friends-with-benefits • A greater social acceptability of gay and lesbian relationships and experimentation
“I can’t imagine anyone who works with youth not using this outstanding resource on healthy sexuality. It is visually compelling and biblically sound. Every kid needs to see this."
— Les Parrott, Ph.D., Author of Helping Your Struggling Teenager
In Good Sex 2.0: A Whole-Person Approach to Teenage Sexuality and God, you’ll find tools to help you (and parents of teens) involve your students in understanding, enjoying, and taking responsibility for their sexuality—all without lecturing, intimidating, or moralizing.
This new and improved seven-session curriculum kit, gives you a 13-segment DVD, 1 copy of the student journal, What (Almost) Nobody Will Tell You About Sex, and 1 copy of the Good Sex 2.0 Leader’s Guide, all of which are biblically based and include the latest in social science and sexual research among adolescents. When used together, the components of this curriculum kit will bring up the tough questions, open up honest dialogue, and help your students see how their sexuality fits into God’s plan for their lives.

Creative Bible Lessons In Essential Theology
The Complete New Testament Resource for Youth Workers, Volume 1
12 Lessons to Help Your Students Know What They Believe | Andrew Hedges
Jack Crabtree, Editor
As a youth worker you have certainly spent much of your time addressing the current issues facing teens, but have you stopped to think about what may be behind students' behavior? Many of the not-so-wise choices students make are the result of a confused worldview that comes from uncertainty about who God is. It's easy for students to dismiss the truth when they learn from the world that all truth is relative.
Lg[Xk\[
9\jkJ\cc\i
Creative Bible Lessons In Essential Theology uses a conversational approach to give students a theological foundation to better understand God and his purpose for how to live their lives. Throughout the twelve sessions of this study students will: • Learn how creation provides evidence of God's existence. • Look at how God has chosen to reveal himself through his Word. • Learn to live lives that reflect God's love for them. • Understand their need for God's direction. • Commit to following God's will as they make life decisions. • Discover how God's invitation to enter his kingdom affects the direction of their lives. • Examine where they are with God on a personal level.

Deal With It A 12 Week Study on Teenage Girls' Anger | Mary Huebner Teenage girls and bullying is a hot-button issue today. From online abuse of other girls, to physical attacks, to the subtle ways girls can manipulate and hurt one another, teenage girls are expressing their anger in very destructive ways. God never said, “don’t be angry,” but he did say when we’re mad we shouldn’t sin. That’s a tough line to walk. Whether teenage girls lash out in anger or suppress their feelings, the outcome can be destructive and damaging (to others and to themselves). The challenge is to teach girls how to appropriately deal with their anger. In Deal With It, Mary Huebner presents 12 lessons for teen girls that will teach them to recognize and healthily address their anger. Your students will begin by learning it’s okay to be mad—anger is a response to threats to their self-worth, needs, or values, and they should stand up for themselves in a way that is respectful of those around them. By the final lesson girls will see that they have choices, and they can choose healthy and Godly ways to express their emotions. ISBN #9780310285106 Retail Price $12.99

Youth eMinistry 3.0 A Manifesto of Where We’ve Been, Where We Are, and Where We Need to Go | Mark Oestreicher Over the past several decades there have been three significant shifts in youth culture; each new shift brought with it different values and priorities in the lives of teens. Youth ministries adapted and responded to the first two shifts, but we’re missing the boat on the third. The result? Youth ministry isn’t addressing the realities and needs of today’s youth culture. After nearly three decades in youth ministry, Mark Oestreicher has lived through a lot of those shifts himself. In recent years, he’s found himself wondering what needs to change, especially since so much of what we’re doing in youth ministry today isn’t working. In Youth Ministry 3.0, you’ll explore, along with Marko and the voices of other youth workers, why we need change in youth ministry. You’ll get a quick history of youth ministry over the last 50 years. And you’ll help dream about what changes need to take place in order to create the next phase of youth ministry—the future we need to create for effective ministry to students.

There are many spiritual battles fought during the college years, and the church must be there to help. If you’re involved in a church where this generation gap is occurring, or if you’re part of a church that’s just beginning to explore or launch a college ministry, you’ll find useful tools and valuable insights in College Ministry 101. You’ll learn how to bridge this generation gap by—
E
• Developing practical and effective ways to assimilate students into the life of the church after high school
• Understanding the specific needs of college-age students as they figure out who they are— specifically as they seek meaning and truth in their lives.
Lg[Xk\[
• Learning basic principles on how to effectively minister to college-age students on a day-to-day basis. • Teaching others to minister effectively to college-age students.

College-age people don’t necessarily need another weekly program or service—the key is to provide mentors who are available and willing to walk with them during the life challenges they are facing. This book will give you the tools to do just that. Once you apply the steps outlined in this book, you will reach 18-25-year-olds in a way that will impact their lives and faith, and they will engage and remain connected to the body of Christ during and long after their college years.

Downtime Helping Teenagers Pray | Mark Yaconelli You know the reality: teens don't have much downtime in their lives. Between school, extra-curricular activities, jobs, friends (and youth group!), students these days barely have enough time to do all the things they need to do in a day. It's no wonder that quiet, reflective time in prayer with God is not high on their priority list. With years of experience helping teens encounter God in quiet, contemplative ways, Mark Yaconelli will give you the tools and insights needed to help teens understand why and how to pray, and to guide them towards a life of prayer. You'll find several prayer exercises in this book, based on the praying tradition of the Christian church, along with instructions to help you introduce the prayers to students. Not only are there explorations of classical methods of prayer that involve silence, solitude, and scripture, but you'll also discover more recent forms of prayer that use creative media, music, writing, movement, and acts of compassion.

Relationships Unfiltered The Youth Worker Book of Hope Tim Baker, General Editor
E
9\jkJ\cc\i
As a youth worker you can end up pouring your whole life into ministry—giving physically, emotionally, spiritually, relationally, and even financially. You do all this to encourage your students to live like Christ beyond the youth group. But when you struggle personally or fail morally you can end up feeling drained and discouraged while still trying to show your students the love of Jesus. The Youth Worker Book of Hope speaks words of encouragement and hope to you in those times of darkness by using experiences and advice from people who have been through the valley and learned from it. Youth workers from around the country have contributed personal stories of their own desire to quit, confrontations with parents, struggles with running the ministry, getting fired, and many more. In each story, a youth worker shares what they did wrong, what they should have done, and where to look for hope in the situation. In tough times it’s easy to get lost. The Youth Worker Book of Hope meets you while you’re still struggling and draws you into the hope of God. ISBN #9780310283645 Retail Price $12.99 Your Price $10.99
Getting Fired for the Glory of God Mike Yaconelli Like the prophets of old, Mike was a blend of the sacred and the profane, the outspoken and the insecure, the gentle lamb and the roaring lion. This paradox lives on in his writing and in his recorded words. In Mike Yaconelli you'll discover a bold, passionate, and ultimately prophetic voice reminding us to stay focused on Jesus, to hold life lightly, to walk together as we love kids, and to devote ourselves to an outrageously gracious God who loves our souls into being. Years after his death, Christians across the globe still turn to the words of Mike Yaconelli to uncover the divine mischief, the shameless truth-telling, the love of kids, and the passion for Jesus that make youth ministry the irresistible calling he claimed it to be. People turn to Mike Yaconelli not just because of what he wrote, they turn to Mike Yaconelli because of what he aspired to live. Hardcover book includes a DVD with audio and video from Mike’s speaking over the years. ISBN #9780310283584 Retail Price $16.99 Your Price $13.59
A Handbook for Youth Workers, Volunteers, Pastors and Parents | Andrew Root For more than 50 years, relational or incarnational ministry has been a major focus in youth ministry. But for too long, those relationships have been used as tools—as a means to an end—where adults try to influence teenagers to accept, know, trust, believe, or participate in something. While our motives may be good, it’s possible that by focusing on these goals, we’re not ministering the whole person. When we choose not to engage in the full life of a teen, we run the risk of failing them and our ministry. In this thoughtful and insightful book, Andrew Root challenges us to reconsider our motives and begin to consider simply being with and doing life alongside teenagers with no agenda other than to love them right where they are, by place-sharing. As he shares stories of his (and others’) successes and failures in relational youth ministry, you’ll find practical ideas to help you recreate the role of relationships in your youth group. If you’re involved in the lives of teenagers, whether as a youth pastor, volunteer youth worker, church leader, or parent, you’ll want to read this book and work together to discover the value of place-sharing in the lives of teens. You’ll see that it’s time to tear down the old structure of relational youth ministry and start again. ISBN #9780310668756 Retail Price $14.99 Your Price $11.99
Evangelism is easier than you think! Evangelism Remixed Empowering Students for Courageous and Contagious Faith | Dave Rahn and Terry Linhart How many times have you given a message to help your students learn to share their faith, only to be met with the same blank or confused stares you got the last time you gave that talk? Maybe you need to mix it up a little. What if your next lesson was less about sharing their faith, and more about living their faith? Youth ministry veterans, educators, and researchers, Dave Rahn and Terry Linhart spent two years researching the most effective student ministries in the country, and the results of their research may change the way you look at teaching evangelism to your students. In this practical book, you’ll be reminded of the importance of helping your students develop their faith to the point where they naturally influence others for Christ in their everyday lives. Evangelism Remixed offers principles that will enable you to evaluate your ministry’s evangelism effectiveness and provides step-by-step tools to help you put the concepts into real-life practice.

A Tale of Two Youth Workers A Youth Ministry Fable | Eric Venable Wes is young, enthusiastic, and perhaps a little idealistic about his new position as the youth pastor of the largest church in his denomination. Running into the ministry at full-steam with the best of plans and intentions, Wes soon learns that all the idealism and plans can’t prepare him for the struggles he’s facing. When Doug, the star quarterback, stops coming to youth group, Wes is faced with questions and frustration from the parents and church leaders. When he tries to win Doug back, Wes becomes even more confused when he learns that Doug began attending the youth group at the smaller church in town. Britt is a seasoned youth worker who has been at the smaller church in town for too many years to count. Doug ends up at Britt’s youth group, and soon after, Wes comes to Britt for insight. Only months before, Wes thought little of Britt because of his small youth group, but now he comes to Britt for help. In this creative fable, you’ll be invited into the ongoing conversations between Wes and Britt as they explore what it takes to have an effective youth ministry. You’ll watch as they discover what it takes for students to have a long-term, transformative faith. As Wes changes the way he does ministry, you might find yourself with a new perspective as well.

The (un) Official Church Staff Manual Youth Pastor Edition | Mark Riddle Whether they are pushed out the door or they run from the church building screaming, youth pastors are (unfortunately) notorious for having short-lived stays in their ministry positions.

We need experiential worship because our culture no longer “gets” or even knows the story of God…. Even our “churched” students don’t always know how the Bible relates to their lives. We have a problem in “church land,” too. We’ve forgotten how to tell the story of God…. Experiential worship…gives symbols new life and helps emerging generations fall in love with God…. People need churches that teach in ways that engage them, help them engage with God, and enable them to experience with all their senses how God relates to their everyday lives. ~Taken from Chapter 2, Sacred Space

But for justice work to make a real impact, leaders and students need to spend more time before, during, and after their service preparing for and processing their experiences. The lessons in Deep Justice Journeys will help you prepare students for what to expect during their mission trips and service projects and allow students to reflect upon their experiences. And since no two mission trips are the same, and each youth group will have its own challenges, this book includes 50 learning activities that you can choose from to customize your group’s lessons. In this book you will find— • Ideas to help get parents and the church engaged in your youth ministry’s short-term mission work. • Discussion exercises you can use to get students thinking about poverty, cross-cultural relationships, teamwork, and spiritual gifts. • Creative activities for debriefing to help your group wrestle with questions about students’ experiences. • Ideas for how your youth group can ensure the ongoing growth and service of your students once you return home to the “real world.” Written by leading youth ministry and missions experts and tested by youth ministries across the country, the practical tools included in this book will revitalize your service projects. Students will engage in learning exercises that help them learn new insights about themselves, their relationship with God, their teammates, and the world we’re called to love and serve. This ongoing process will help your students apply what they’ve learned in the mission field to their own lives and will ensure justice work that changes students to change the world around them.

Good Sex 2.0: A Whole-Person Approach to Teenage Sexuality and God
Use these 36 lessons from Doug Fields to explain Bible passages and principles, address life together, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, evangelism, and worship. With veteran youth workers featured in the DVDs, and six student journals, you’ll find the teaching, stories, exercises, application points, and much more to help lead small groups or entire youth groups closer together. Kit includes 1 copy of each of the six student journals and 1 copy of each of the three DVD leader guides. KIT ISBN #9780310253327
Student Journals
Remember the days when the youth ministry “Sex Talk” was simple and straightforward? Well, maybe it wasn’t that simple or straightforward, but today more than ever, the world our students are growing up in is saturated in sex. Everywhere they look (or listen) they get all kinds of messages about sexuality, and most of it is probably not helping them develop a healthy understanding of how their own sexuality fits into God’s plan for their lives.
Retail Price $9.99
The need for ongoing dialogue and learning about sexuality and how it connects with faith has never been greater. Trying to help students understand how their sexuality relates to God’s plan for their lives is a great challenge in a day when just about anything goes. Today, teenage sexuality includes things that might make some of us blush, like: • Hooking up • Oral sex (as a “safe” alternative to vaginal intercourse) • Friends-with-benefits • A greater social acceptability of gay and lesbian relationships and experimentation
“I can’t imagine anyone who works with youth not using this outstanding resource on healthy sexuality. It is visually compelling and biblically sound. Every kid needs to see this."
— Les Parrott, Ph.D., Author of Helping Your Struggling Teenager
In Good Sex 2.0: A Whole-Person Approach to Teenage Sexuality and God, you’ll find tools to help you (and parents of teens) involve your students in understanding, enjoying, and taking responsibility for their sexuality—all without lecturing, intimidating, or moralizing.
This new and improved seven-session curriculum kit, gives you a 13-segment DVD, 1 copy of the student journal, What (Almost) Nobody Will Tell You About Sex, and 1 copy of the Good Sex 2.0 Leader’s Guide, all of which are biblically based and include the latest in social science and sexual research among adolescents. When used together, the components of this curriculum kit will bring up the tough questions, open up honest dialogue, and help your students see how their sexuality fits into God’s plan for their lives.

Creative Bible Lessons In Essential Theology
The Complete New Testament Resource for Youth Workers, Volume 1
12 Lessons to Help Your Students Know What They Believe | Andrew Hedges
Jack Crabtree, Editor
As a youth worker you have certainly spent much of your time addressing the current issues facing teens, but have you stopped to think about what may be behind students' behavior? Many of the not-so-wise choices students make are the result of a confused worldview that comes from uncertainty about who God is. It's easy for students to dismiss the truth when they learn from the world that all truth is relative.
Lg[Xk\[
9\jkJ\cc\i
Creative Bible Lessons In Essential Theology uses a conversational approach to give students a theological foundation to better understand God and his purpose for how to live their lives. Throughout the twelve sessions of this study students will: • Learn how creation provides evidence of God's existence. • Look at how God has chosen to reveal himself through his Word. • Learn to live lives that reflect God's love for them. • Understand their need for God's direction. • Commit to following God's will as they make life decisions. • Discover how God's invitation to enter his kingdom affects the direction of their lives. • Examine where they are with God on a personal level.

Deal With It A 12 Week Study on Teenage Girls' Anger | Mary Huebner Teenage girls and bullying is a hot-button issue today. From online abuse of other girls, to physical attacks, to the subtle ways girls can manipulate and hurt one another, teenage girls are expressing their anger in very destructive ways. God never said, “don’t be angry,” but he did say when we’re mad we shouldn’t sin. That’s a tough line to walk. Whether teenage girls lash out in anger or suppress their feelings, the outcome can be destructive and damaging (to others and to themselves). The challenge is to teach girls how to appropriately deal with their anger. In Deal With It, Mary Huebner presents 12 lessons for teen girls that will teach them to recognize and healthily address their anger. Your students will begin by learning it’s okay to be mad—anger is a response to threats to their self-worth, needs, or values, and they should stand up for themselves in a way that is respectful of those around them. By the final lesson girls will see that they have choices, and they can choose healthy and Godly ways to express their emotions. ISBN #9780310285106 Retail Price $12.99

Youth eMinistry 3.0 A Manifesto of Where We’ve Been, Where We Are, and Where We Need to Go | Mark Oestreicher Over the past several decades there have been three significant shifts in youth culture; each new shift brought with it different values and priorities in the lives of teens. Youth ministries adapted and responded to the first two shifts, but we’re missing the boat on the third. The result? Youth ministry isn’t addressing the realities and needs of today’s youth culture. After nearly three decades in youth ministry, Mark Oestreicher has lived through a lot of those shifts himself. In recent years, he’s found himself wondering what needs to change, especially since so much of what we’re doing in youth ministry today isn’t working. In Youth Ministry 3.0, you’ll explore, along with Marko and the voices of other youth workers, why we need change in youth ministry. You’ll get a quick history of youth ministry over the last 50 years. And you’ll help dream about what changes need to take place in order to create the next phase of youth ministry—the future we need to create for effective ministry to students.

College Ministry 101 A Guide to Working with 18-25 Year Olds | Chuck Bomar For many churches, there is a generation gap where a good number of 18-25-year-olds are missing. But there are practical ways to solve this problem, and an effective college-age ministry is a vital part of the solution. There are many spiritual battles fought during the college years, and the church must be there to help. If you’re involved in a church where this generation gap is occurring, or if you’re part of a church that’s just beginning to explore or launch a college ministry, you’ll find useful tools and valuable insights in College Ministry 101. You’ll learn how to bridge this generation gap by—
E
• Developing practical and effective ways to assimilate students into the life of the church after high school
• Understanding the specific needs of college-age students as they figure out who they are— specifically as they seek meaning and truth in their lives.
Lg[Xk\[
• Learning basic principles on how to effectively minister to college-age students on a day-to-day basis. • Teaching others to minister effectively to college-age students.

College-age people don’t necessarily need another weekly program or service—the key is to provide mentors who are available and willing to walk with them during the life challenges they are facing. This book will give you the tools to do just that. Once you apply the steps outlined in this book, you will reach 18-25-year-olds in a way that will impact their lives and faith, and they will engage and remain connected to the body of Christ during and long after their college years.

Downtime Helping Teenagers Pray | Mark Yaconelli You know the reality: teens don't have much downtime in their lives. Between school, extra-curricular activities, jobs, friends (and youth group!), students these days barely have enough time to do all the things they need to do in a day. It's no wonder that quiet, reflective time in prayer with God is not high on their priority list. With years of experience helping teens encounter God in quiet, contemplative ways, Mark Yaconelli will give you the tools and insights needed to help teens understand why and how to pray, and to guide them towards a life of prayer. You'll find several prayer exercises in this book, based on the praying tradition of the Christian church, along with instructions to help you introduce the prayers to students. Not only are there explorations of classical methods of prayer that involve silence, solitude, and scripture, but you'll also discover more recent forms of prayer that use creative media, music, writing, movement, and acts of compassion.

Relationships Unfiltered The Youth Worker Book of Hope Tim Baker, General Editor
E
9\jkJ\cc\i
As a youth worker you can end up pouring your whole life into ministry—giving physically, emotionally, spiritually, relationally, and even financially. You do all this to encourage your students to live like Christ beyond the youth group. But when you struggle personally or fail morally you can end up feeling drained and discouraged while still trying to show your students the love of Jesus. The Youth Worker Book of Hope speaks words of encouragement and hope to you in those times of darkness by using experiences and advice from people who have been through the valley and learned from it. Youth workers from around the country have contributed personal stories of their own desire to quit, confrontations with parents, struggles with running the ministry, getting fired, and many more. In each story, a youth worker shares what they did wrong, what they should have done, and where to look for hope in the situation. In tough times it’s easy to get lost. The Youth Worker Book of Hope meets you while you’re still struggling and draws you into the hope of God. ISBN #9780310283645 Retail Price $12.99 Your Price $10.99
Getting Fired for the Glory of God Mike Yaconelli Like the prophets of old, Mike was a blend of the sacred and the profane, the outspoken and the insecure, the gentle lamb and the roaring lion. This paradox lives on in his writing and in his recorded words. In Mike Yaconelli you'll discover a bold, passionate, and ultimately prophetic voice reminding us to stay focused on Jesus, to hold life lightly, to walk together as we love kids, and to devote ourselves to an outrageously gracious God who loves our souls into being. Years after his death, Christians across the globe still turn to the words of Mike Yaconelli to uncover the divine mischief, the shameless truth-telling, the love of kids, and the passion for Jesus that make youth ministry the irresistible calling he claimed it to be. People turn to Mike Yaconelli not just because of what he wrote, they turn to Mike Yaconelli because of what he aspired to live. Hardcover book includes a DVD with audio and video from Mike’s speaking over the years. ISBN #9780310283584 Retail Price $16.99 Your Price $13.59
A Handbook for Youth Workers, Volunteers, Pastors and Parents | Andrew Root For more than 50 years, relational or incarnational ministry has been a major focus in youth ministry. But for too long, those relationships have been used as tools—as a means to an end—where adults try to influence teenagers to accept, know, trust, believe, or participate in something. While our motives may be good, it’s possible that by focusing on these goals, we’re not ministering the whole person. When we choose not to engage in the full life of a teen, we run the risk of failing them and our ministry. In this thoughtful and insightful book, Andrew Root challenges us to reconsider our motives and begin to consider simply being with and doing life alongside teenagers with no agenda other than to love them right where they are, by place-sharing. As he shares stories of his (and others’) successes and failures in relational youth ministry, you’ll find practical ideas to help you recreate the role of relationships in your youth group. If you’re involved in the lives of teenagers, whether as a youth pastor, volunteer youth worker, church leader, or parent, you’ll want to read this book and work together to discover the value of place-sharing in the lives of teens. You’ll see that it’s time to tear down the old structure of relational youth ministry and start again. ISBN #9780310668756 Retail Price $14.99 Your Price $11.99
Evangelism is easier than you think! Evangelism Remixed Empowering Students for Courageous and Contagious Faith | Dave Rahn and Terry Linhart How many times have you given a message to help your students learn to share their faith, only to be met with the same blank or confused stares you got the last time you gave that talk? Maybe you need to mix it up a little. What if your next lesson was less about sharing their faith, and more about living their faith? Youth ministry veterans, educators, and researchers, Dave Rahn and Terry Linhart spent two years researching the most effective student ministries in the country, and the results of their research may change the way you look at teaching evangelism to your students. In this practical book, you’ll be reminded of the importance of helping your students develop their faith to the point where they naturally influence others for Christ in their everyday lives. Evangelism Remixed offers principles that will enable you to evaluate your ministry’s evangelism effectiveness and provides step-by-step tools to help you put the concepts into real-life practice.

A Tale of Two Youth Workers A Youth Ministry Fable | Eric Venable Wes is young, enthusiastic, and perhaps a little idealistic about his new position as the youth pastor of the largest church in his denomination. Running into the ministry at full-steam with the best of plans and intentions, Wes soon learns that all the idealism and plans can’t prepare him for the struggles he’s facing. When Doug, the star quarterback, stops coming to youth group, Wes is faced with questions and frustration from the parents and church leaders. When he tries to win Doug back, Wes becomes even more confused when he learns that Doug began attending the youth group at the smaller church in town. Britt is a seasoned youth worker who has been at the smaller church in town for too many years to count. Doug ends up at Britt’s youth group, and soon after, Wes comes to Britt for insight. Only months before, Wes thought little of Britt because of his small youth group, but now he comes to Britt for help. In this creative fable, you’ll be invited into the ongoing conversations between Wes and Britt as they explore what it takes to have an effective youth ministry. You’ll watch as they discover what it takes for students to have a long-term, transformative faith. As Wes changes the way he does ministry, you might find yourself with a new perspective as well.

We need experiential worship because our culture no longer “gets” or even knows the story of God…. Even our “churched” students don’t always know how the Bible relates to their lives. We have a problem in “church land,” too. We’ve forgotten how to tell the story of God…. Experiential worship…gives symbols new life and helps emerging generations fall in love with God…. People need churches that teach in ways that engage them, help them engage with God, and enable them to experience with all their senses how God relates to their everyday lives. ~Taken from Chapter 2, Sacred Space
