Faith Beyond Youth Group: Five Ways to Form Character and Cultivate Lifelong Discipleship
Help teenagers become adults who boldly live out a robust faith in a watching world
Most typical youth ministries today produce nice, obedient kids who behave themselves—and then leave the church and the faith. Even those who remain struggle to extend their own faith beyond youth group. They seem like "good kids," but their lives and decisions outside youth group aren't oriented toward Jesus.
Clearly, that is not our goal. So what are we doing wrong? And how can we better serve the unique needs of the most anxious, adaptive, and diverse generation in history?
Building on two decades of the Fuller Youth Institute's work and incorporating extensive new research and interviews, Faith Beyond Youth Group answers these questions by
● identifying the reasons youth ministry often fails both short-term and long-term
● offering five ways adult youth leaders can cultivate character for a lifetime of growing closer to Jesus
● exploring how to how to cultivate trust, model growth, teach for transformation, practice together, and make meaning
If you're tired of youth ministry that fails to change lives, it's time to change youth ministry.
