We all know the "ages & stages" realities of youth today. Marko even wrote a new book about it called, "Understanding Your Young Teen".
Three quick questions about your approach to ministering to the young people in your current ministry:
- How do you program effectively based on youth developmental stages?
- How do you teach the spirituality of messiness and disciplines in the ages and stages?
- How do you integrate the realties in to the golas and outcomes of your overall ministry?
CYW does not necessarily endorse the views shared on this forum. This site was developed to allow people to think through a variety of issues that are youth ministry related.
