Tim Beilharz talks with David Rietveld, who brings his experience in youth and senior ministry to discuss the challenges and strategies for nurturing youth and children's ministry in today's post-Christian world.
Rietveld, the author of 'Being Christian After Christendom,' addresses navigating ministry in a post-Christian society and the importance of understanding and communicating the gospel effectively in a world where traditional Christian values no longer hold the same influence.
The discussion emphasises listening and understanding the yearnings of today's youth, forming Christian communities that exemplify Christian values, and confidently, yet gently, introducing the gospel in a way that resonates with the post-Christian worldview.
The episode underlines the importance of creating a distinct, positive Christian identity and community for effective ministry in contemporary culture.
