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

Jen Bradbury, Brad M. Griffin, Kara Powell

Sinossi

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.

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.
