We are in the midst of the holiday, specifically Christmas, season. There is a buzz in the air, which creates a rush of excitement, plans be made and accomplished, adrenaline might be spiking, but also stress and anxiety. Christmas is one of the two big marker moments of the year inside of the local church. For us, as youth leaders, depending on our roles, this can be tough to navigate with the responsibilities, our families, and all the things.

Shane Pruitt sits with us to share his lived experience and the wisdom he has gained to make this season the best.

In the past few years we have be seeing and hearing about a shift in youth ministry. It mainly involves the way churches are thinking about how they carry out their ministry model. There was a time when a youth group night was the place to be on mostly Wednesday nights. And it had everything. Now, that isn’t as much of the case. Churches are now shifting from a Come & See model to a Go & Tell. There might be a youth group night, but the focus is more on equipping students to go. The youth leaders are going to where the students are rather than waiting for them to come into the building. We asked Corey Blockus to sit with us today to share his insights and perspective on this and how his church is moving in this direction.

Plans. Most of us have them. We all should have them. We make plans for what we want to happen or what has happened to us in the past. Being in youth ministry we make plans for so many events (programming or life) so that we can feel calm in the midst of the inevitable chaos. For those of us who have a bit of tenure in ministry, we know that a backup plan is vital. One plan that is often overlooked or not thought through is in the event of a crisis. This leaves many of us in a place wondering how to respond appropriately in the midst of the crisis which often times is not the most effective or helpful.

Leadership development is an important part of not only our own growth but an organization’s growth. It’s vital that we prioritize our mindset to be on a +1 approach. We asked Orlando and Stan to share their experience in exactly that. Stan pursued Orlando to be on the staff of National Network of Youth Ministries.
