Book Synopsis Student Ministry by the Book by : Dr. R. Scott Pace
Download or read book Student Ministry by the Book written by Dr. R. Scott Pace and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of youth ministry is often driven by fads and trends as leaders attempt to reach students by chasing the ever-changing tides of teenage culture. This short-sighted, though often sincere, approach not only produces superficial and misguided disciples, it leaves youth leaders and parents drained and disappointed by the lack of authentic spiritual transformation despite their heartfelt and painstaking efforts. Student Ministry by the Book addresses these and other common missteps by providing a concise, yet thorough, Biblical philosophy and practical guide for youth ministry. By establishing a spiritual perspective of a student’s identity and exploring the Scriptural precedent for student ministry, the authors refute the culture’s view of teenagers that often sabotages the church’s approach to discipling them. In addition, this book provides youth leaders and parents with an accessible resource full of useful insights to reach the families of teens, build relationships with students, integrate them within the church, and recruit workers as effective partners in ministry. It also offers helpful direction in leading youth in the process of spiritual formation and grounding them in the foundational truths of the faith. Student pastors, youth leaders, and parents of teens will all benefit from this thoroughly biblical and practical approach designed as a handbook for starting, strengthening, and sustaining a youth ministry in the local church.

Book Synopsis A Different College Experience by : Brian Mills
Download or read book A Different College Experience written by Brian Mills and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many, the college experience is defined by drinking, sex, impulsive decision-making, and a journey of self discovery. It's packaged as a consequence-free zone to have the "best time of your life." But the reality is that what happens in college doesn't stay in college. There are real, lasting consequences to your decisions. Student ministry leaders Ben Trueblood and Brian Mills have seen this firsthand. With decades of student-ministry leadership under their belts, they have seen too many lives fall apart because of the world's view of what the college experience should be. You don't have to have that kind of college experience. Fortunately, just as the gospel redeems all of life, the gospel redeems the college experience. It tells us there is another way. In this book, Ben and Brian provide a biblical and practical guide for how you can have a fun, joy-filled, and spiritually enriching college experience while avoiding the pitfalls that have captured so many before you.

Book Synopsis Student Ministry and the Supremacy of Christ by : Richard Ross
Download or read book Student Ministry and the Supremacy of Christ written by Richard Ross and published by CrossBooks. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Ross, the goal of student ministry is students who spend a lifetime embracing the full supremacy of the Son, responding to His majesty in all of life, inviting Christ to live His life through them, and joining Him in making disciples among all peoples. Ross notes, Student ministry that does not matter for a lifetime does not matter much. For the past 50 years, most churches approached student ministry as: 1. students primarily relating to one youth leader, 2. students experiencing church almost exclusively with people their same age, and 3. parents outsourcing the spiritual leadership of their teenagers to the youth leader. The result? The great majority of youth who were faithful to youth programs now have walked away from the faith. Now there is broad agreement that this approach to student ministry has been a failed experiment. Student Ministry and the Supremacy of Christ proposes a model of student ministry that is far different from the past. This approach calls for: 1. immersing teenagers in life-on-life, transformational relationships with several godly adults, 2. drawing teenagers into a web of rich, intergenerational relationships in the congregation, and
Download or read book Within Reach written by Ben Trueblood and published by Lifeway Church Resources. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A few small changes can make a big difference. As your students graduate high school, are they graduating from church too? Research shows that the majority of teenagers who are active in church during high school stop attending shortly after. In a new study, LifeWay Student Ministry and LifeWay Research have partnered to identify the factors that are contributing to this disturbing trend as well as those factors that contribute to teens staying in church. In his first book, Student Ministry That Matters, Ben Trueblood laid out a clear approach to creating a healthy student ministry in any context. In this book, Ben points student ministry leaders to the hope found within this startling statistic. The solution is not a full-scale revamping of student ministry. Rather, the hope for helping students build lifelong faith and keeping them connected to the church after high school is just a few small changes away. Benefits Prepare students to stay connected to a local church once they graduate high school Identify where we are, what we're finding in the data, and action steps we can take in the church and in families to keep students engaged Understand factors that influenced students who stayed in church and those who didn't Consider what's going on in the home and how this contributes to students staying in or leaving a local church Identify tools and establish a clear and simple course of correction: Here's where we're missing it, where we can evaluate, and where we can move on Ben Trueblood serves as the Director of Student Ministry for LifeWay Christian Resources. Ben has eighteen years of student ministry experience, fourteen of which were spent in the local church as a student pastor. In addition to his role at LifeWay Ben is involved in training, consulting, and speaking to student ministries throughout the U.S. He is driven by a desire for student ministries to expand God's Kingdom, to see the lives of students transformed by the gospel, and to develop students who shape the culture in which they live. Ben is also the author of Student Ministry That Matters and A Different College Experience. Ben and his wife, Kristen, have four children. In his free time Ben enjoys family, hunting, is a huge St. Louis Cardinals fan, and is an affiliate streamer on Twitch under the name of Flashbang_CSN. Connect with Ben on twitter at: @bentrueblood
