Why Youth Ministry Hasn't Worked
Manage episode 332876151 series 3357024
In this first episode, Everett Fritz talks with longtime collaborator Annie Grandell about the nature of youth ministry.
The studies that have come out about the trends of young people leaving the Church have been astounding, particularly when it seemed like youth groups were thriving.
What's the disconnect? Why hasn't youth ministry been as effective as we thought? And on top of it all, the COVID-19 pandemic seemed to reveal the already-crumbling nature of youth discipleship.
What can we learn from this crisis? We're learning that people want the Church to be a place of relationship, where they are known.
“Discipleship by its nature is customizable. The journey a person goes on in conversion is not going to be the same as somebody else.” - Annie Grandell
