MAIN VIDEO SESSIONS

Session 1: Darren Whitehead - Where Is It, Where Is It Going, and What Can We Do About It

The world is shifting. Youth culture is shifting. The way we do church is shifting…sort of. At least, a little. But none of these shifts are happening at the same pace. The result? Shrinking ministries. Ineffective programs. Disinterested kids. Burnt-out leaders. What's behind this epidemic? How can we stop it? Where do we go from here?

Session 2: Donald Miller - How to Spread the Gospel Without Weirding People Out

Today's youth are spiritual…but suspicious of Christianity. They've heard all the arguments. They've read all the tracts and mocked all the dorky T-shirts. Theyve got a mental catalogue of bad Christian examples. How, then, can we re-introduce them to Christ? By loving them. By befriending them. By laying down our apologetics and being Jesus to them.

Session 3: Bo Boshers - The Be-With Factor

We all want to see students live and love like Jesus. The most effective way to accomplish this is through mentoring relationships. Learn how to build a mentoring culture that will increase ministry effectiveness and gain support from your pastor and parents, choose the right students to mentor, spend the right time, not just more time—modeling real life lessons, and how to set safe boundaries.

Session 4: Mark Yaconelli - The Youthworker's Path to Holiness

Mark Yaconelli explores the feelings of failure and frustration many youth ministry leaders experience, asking us to reconsider how God defines success in life and ministry. He is the co-founder and director of the Youth Ministry and Spirituality Project and author of Growing Souls: Experiments in Contemplative Youth Ministry.

Session 5: Shane Claiborne - The Scandal of Grace

Shane Claiborne questions and challenges our traditional notions of what, and who, is most important to God. Shane is a founding partner of The Simple Way and author of The Irresistible Revolution.

Session 6: Efrem Smith - Stop Telling Me About Jesus and Show Me What He Looks Like

Shallow relationships. Flexible morality. Ethical numbness. This is what happens when student ministries focus more on activities and events than the truth of the Gospel. Today's youth are willing to experiment with boundaries—from dating and sexuality to CD piracy and online porn. What are the consequences? What can we do? They need to see a life transformed by the Gospel. Our jobs require more than merely teaching the truth once a week. We need to start living it out.
