lesson from the YM Summit

The Youth Ministry Summit at CCU has come and gone, but the lessons go on...


Take-aways:

Don't allow pressures to steal your soul, including...

1. Pressures from the church
2. Pressures to produce
3. Pressures for success
4. Normal desires of the flesh
5. Money

"Don't let the church squeeze you into it's mold."

When teaching, give yourself time to think about the text. Always have your radar on the lookout for illustrations, music, videos or whatever.

3 tips when teaching:

1. have a simple tag
2. give the students a story to be a part of
   
3. have a practical connection

Believe that your ministry is worth asking people to be a part of.
