This article is entitled “Smarter Youth Ministry in 2018.” I think another way to categorize it would be to say it is a guide to a more focused youth ministry. The idea here is to know why you do what you do and to do what you do really well. Do you have anything that helps you keep focused in youth ministry?

While I’m not sure there is a clear metric on what makes student ministries “the best,” I do think these suggestions can help bridge gaps and create moments of life change toward Jesus no matter which age groups you serve. I hope this article will encourage you as you continue ministry in 2018.
Many times I post articles/ resources on this blog, not becuase I fully agree with the article, but because I believe they can help us think creatively or process our environment. Today’s article is no different. I hope you’ll look at these trends and ask: Could this trend be life giving to the people in our ministry? Could this idea help awaken people to the presence of Jesus in their lives?
We’d love to know how you process!
