Faith Beyond Youth Group - Five Ways to Form Character and Cultivate Lifelong Discipleship

Jen Bradbury, Brad M. Griffin, Kara Powell

Maison d'édition: Baker Books

Synopsis

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.

Fred A. Hartley III

The remaining unreached people on earth will not be reached by a lukewarm church. It will take a prayer-filled and Christ-filled church.

Ignite is brimming with kingdom-building prayer principles that have stood the test of time.

The Leadership Formula - Develop...

Juan Sánchez

We have a leadership problem, and we all know it.  When we look at our churches, we see two glaring problems: a lack of qualified leaders, and a general mistrust of leadership as a response to sinful leadership. But churches need leaders. What do we do?  The answer is in The Leadership Formula.  In the New Testament, qualified leaders are identified by character, conviction, care, and competency. When these four qualities are observed over time, the result is credibility. Pastor and author Juan Sanchez helps listeners know what to look for in leaders, how to identify them, and how to commission them in the church, for the sake of the world.

Deborah: Audio Bible Studies -...

PhD Sandra L. Richter

The Book of Judges narrates one of the most chaotic and morally dark eras of Israel's story. Into this morally-ambiguous time comes one of the most unlikely leaders of the biblical text—the prophet Deborah. Also a wife, mother, priest, and judge, Deborah responds to her call and transforms chaos into order by leading Israel in one of the most pivotal victories of her time.
Join beloved scholar and professor Dr. Sandra L. Richter as she illustrates the era of the Judges by means of the archaeological record, historical geography, cultural context, and the hard facts of warfare in the ancient world. This eight-session Bible study draws you immediately into the grand tale of Deborah and challenges you, as a Christ-follower, to ask yourself where God wants to expand his kingdom in your realm of influence today.
You will consider and answer three critical questions:What territory can you see from where you're standing that you know belongs to the Kingdom, but is not yet won?Is it worth fighting for?Are you willing to step out on faith and trust God for the victory?
The Audio Bible Studies series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, this audio Bible study includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover important Bible-based topics. These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching. While not required for the audio experience, these studies are designed to partner with the coordinating study guide, sold separately.

White Boy Black Girl - What Our...

Adaeze Brinkman, Chad Brinkman

Let the Awkward Conversations Begin! Adaeze and Chad―two different people, two different backgrounds―both brought a lot of baggage into their relationship. Adaeze, a black Nigerian American woman who has lived with racism and discrimination her entire life. Chad, a white man with a family from the South who mostly grew up in white spaces. Determined to learn to communicate honestly and effectively, they stepped into tough conversations about their differences. Walls came down and Adaeze and Chad discovered the trust and respect they could have in and for each other. White Boy/Black Girl is an open-handed invitation from Adaeze and Chad to learn:  Why trying to be the “perfect” Black or white person can’t be the goal  How to attempt to get it right when you’re terrified of getting it wrong  What to do when you’re feeling uncomfortable, defensive, or misunderstood  That repair is possible even when you’ve flat-out stepped in it  The importance of surrendering our pain and prejudice to the redemptive work of Jesus  Adaeze and Chad provide a safe space for us to eavesdrop on some of the most vulnerable conversations they’ve had about their differences. Their candid and honest back and forth gives us common, usable language to meet each other where we’re at. The path to empathy and understanding isn’t easy―but they promise you, it’s always worth it.
