Episode 13: Growing Youth Spiritually (Part 2 - Programs)


Listen Later

Mark and Jess continue their conversation about the programs used to grow youth spiritually. Program is defined as structure and framework, and they cover a variety of components that can help grow students spiritually, from small groups, mentoring, and memory verses to intentional curriculum, serving, and (bonus) worship!

Jess references this quote from Biblical Worldview by Josh Molvihill:

A biblical worldview equips children to serve God using the gifts he has given them. God didn't just save us from something, he saved us for something - to resume the task for which we were originally created. We bring him glory when we reflect his character to others. Running a business, teaching students, or managing a home are not secondary activities, but doing God's work in the world. A child's future vocation is not something he or she does for God; it is a way to participate in God's work.
