“These kids are fantastic human beings. They have gifts to offer the world, but it’s not soccer. It’s not cheerleading. It’s compassion. It’s integrity. It’s love. Those are the things that will help kids feel good about who they are.” --Mike Linderman, “The Teen Whisperer” |

So many people believe the disproven statistic that Student Ministers only serve on average 2.5 years before moving that when I confirm I am still there, I am usually met with a look of bewilderment more appropriate for an encounter with E.T. |

According to the author, this is the only such small group resource out there for teens who are experiencing the divorce of their families.

This was also written from experience, not theory. |

We lead church youth ministries. Teens are coming to church with this expectation. Visitors are coming to church with this expectation. If all we are offering is a Christianized Boys and Girls Club we aren't doing what our identity is. To help you do a better job of teaching the Bible we are offering this free download written by Grahame Knox (Download Here). He is partenering with us to provide this download. We invite you to visit Grahame's site where you'll find loads of varied ideas such as games and discussion starters. |
