Student Ministry

Here’s the truth: If you don’t get people engaged with your message at the start, they’ll be distracted as your message moves along. With these stories, you’ll have exactly what you need to master the art of the start! These stories aren’t the “Everyone gather around while I tell you a story” kind of stories. And they aren’t the “Once upon a time” kind of stories either. These stories come from weird news, current events, and interesting moments in history. It’s so much fun when you connect them to the topics of your sermons!

In my decade of youth ministry, I've seen how small group leaders, teachers, and youth workers impact the spiritual trajectory of teenagers, often without support or resources. In this audiobook, we will explore what it means to lead our students with confidence, creativity, and clarity.

Most youth workers will admit that they don’t spend a lot of time thinking about safety in their youth ministry. Sure, they shout, “Seat belts!” when the crew loads into the van, or they use the buddy system when at theme parks. But beyond that, they’re mostly concerned with introducing...

Have you ever felt like you had one foot in heaven and the other on the Earth? What would you do if this actually happened? This audiobook has come to you at the right time in your life because you have downloaded it. Is it a coincidence? Or is it because you are now ready to walk a new path in your life, one that many dare not tread because it leads to the master within all of us?

The Jesus Climb crafts George Mallory's quest to climb the world's tallest mountain into a parable illustrating how Jesus trained his first students to summit the world's greatest commandment. Like Mallory peering too low on the horizon to see Everest's peak towering above him, the lack of Christlikeness in modern Christianity stems from our inability to imagine the impossible heights to which Jesus calls us.

100 Days With Jesus, one chapter per page, will encourage you if you are thinking about developing your own ministry in these last days of time. This book considers the events that took place in the gospels, but from Christ's point of view. That is, the book provides a bird’s eye view of Christ's life on earth, without getting into too much theology. In other words, 100 Days With Jesus provides a simplified synopsis of events that took place in the life of Christ throughout the four gospels. 100 Days With Jesus does not follow a precise chronology of Christ's life on earth, simply because...
