In Episode 8 of The Youth Ministry Mindset Podcast, a limited series with voices from Alpha and YDisciple, Joshua, Annie, and Jordan discuss the possibilities and practicals of implementing a transformational ministry. Join us as we continue the conversation on youth ministry in a post-COVID world.

SHOWNOTES

• Introduction: What could transformational ministry look like
• Do not change what we teach; change how we teach it
• Need to learn to extend grace and teach others to
    -Create a place of invitation and relationship
• Transformation = slow
• Success isn’t a breakthrough; it’s them coming back
• Can use programs and not see it go anyway
    -It's the person and the culture that matters
• Alpha and YDisciple working together
    -Need an encounter first that leads to evangelization
    -Discipleship isn’t linear; it’s circular
• There are more questions than answers
    -All work together to find answers
    -Be Spirit-led
• What is the most important point to communicate?
    -Start small, don't stay small
    -Discern where the Lord is calling you to transform
    -Be hopeful
    -What you do matters
    -Lean into reliance on the Holy Spirit; that will be the beginning
