I just spent the weekend with my wife at the National Youth Ministry Conference in Cincinnati, OH. Wow what a weekend. I spent most of my time listening to Duffy Robins teaching us how to Nurture Students. I have so much info about helping students know about God. One of the things that I loved and was challenged about was that I do not need to focus on the flash in getting the message across but the Message. I am so guilty of wanting to put on a show that will bring them back. If I do that then the students will come back for the show and not for God. I need to program around what the students need and not put a program to bring them and entertain them. There are so many youth ministers out there that want to show boat with no real in deep Bible study. I am a firm believer that the Word of God will speak to the students and not just the show. Another thing I was reminded about was God is still in control. No matter what I think, He is guiding and protecting Us in Ministry.Scott Huge selection of Youth Ministry Resources - YouthMinistry.com
