Helping youth leaders empower students to reach their world. Working to see every teen everywhere hear the Gospel from a friend! #GospelAdvancingMinistry

🧽 Full sponges spoil. So do students who never share what they know.

The Gospel Advancing Strategy was built to fix exactly that.

You don't have a teenager problem. You have a vision problem.

Fix the vision. The teenagers will follow.

Discipleship without evangelism is just Bible club.

Real discipleship looks like this:
➡️Pray for the lost
➡️Care for the lost
➡️Share the Gospel with the lost

Then teach your students to do the same. https://t.co/IrazLcc7Gf

Imagine if every Christian you knew shared the Gospel with just one person this weekend. The world would look different by Sunday.

This Saturday is GO Day. Join us and our partners at GO Movement as we unite with believers globally to make that vision a reality. Who is your one?

What happened at Energize 2026 was special.

Leaders were encouraged. Friendships were built. The gospel stayed at the center. And we’re leaving Denver more inspired and equipped to keep reaching the next generation.

Grateful for every conversation, every session, every moment of worship, and every leader who showed up hungry to grow.

Mark your calendars! Pentecost Saturday, May 23rd, join a global movement and prepare to share the Gospel with at least one person.

GO Movement, a Dare 2 Share partner, is rallying believers and churches for GO Day. The mission? To see 10,000 churches engaged and 1 million people sharing the Good News across the globe. Will you be one of them?

Everyone can reach someone. Together, we can reach the world. https://t.co/YwPEspksqf

The first ever Dare 2 Share Energize Youth Ministry Conference was truly something special. Every leader in attendance contributed to an incredible atmosphere of growth, supported by a Dare 2 Share staff that stood as a unified force. We are so grateful for how God’s grace covered every moment. Our prayer is that the momentum from this weekend carries into every youth room, impacting every student these leaders encounter.

Please join us in praying for the thousands of Gospel conversations that will take place across North America as a result of this time together. #energize2027

Energize Day 3 Recap:

-Donut wall again!!!!
-The Polen Band led the group in worship, and you could really feel the wave of momentum built over the last two days crashing in.
-Jon Burdette shared some personal struggles he’s had while doing youth ministry, and the importance of relying on God and having healthy boundaries in ministry.
-Pauline Ebert, a youth leader from New York, shared the reality of anxiety among teens today. She has seen students’ lives and attitudes transformed by learning how to step out and share their faith.
-Session 7 opened with Word of Life leader Kris Stout reminding us all that our mission is every teen, and our goal is to see mature disciples.
-Kris then led the attendees through a time of commissioning. Each youth leader was prayed over and spoken over as they prepare to take what they’ve learned back to their youth rooms.
-The conference closed with a sweet time of worship and reflection. Thank you again for being with us, Polen Band!

That is all! The conference has come to a close, but the Gospel conversations resulting from Energize are just beginning. Huge thank you to everyone for attending! #energize2026

[Dare 2 Share Ministries @Dare2Share]

Kris Stout brought some incredible final words for Session 7. The mission of a youth leader is every teen, and the goal is to see every teen who makes a decision for Christ come to full maturity in Christ.

Making and mobilizing disciples was at the core of every message at the Energize Youth Ministry conference. Thank you for bringing us those final words, Kris! #energize2026

[Dare 2 Share Ministries @Dare2Share]

Pauline is a youth leader powerhouse from New York. She has seen first-hand how teens find freedom from anxiety and develop confidence by sharing their faith. She closed Session 6 with a charge to all attendees: "Lean into your students' fears about evangelism; don't shrink back."

Only one session left to go! #energize2026

[Dare 2 Share Ministries @Dare2Share]

Jon Burdette is a long-time ministry leader and learner. In Session 6, he told the room that ministry burnout is inevitable, but God will give you strength and grace every step of the way. Thanks for sharing about the importance of healthy boundaries and self-care, Jon! #energize2026

That is a wrap on Energize Day 2! More Gospel. More growth. More momentum. Excited to keep the momentum going tomorrow! #energize2026

Energize Youth Ministry Day 2 Recap:

-Jerrod Gunter began the day in a powerful way! His message about turning from cultural Christianity and focusing on the Gospel was really moving.
-How important is working together? Important enough that youth leader Wayne Morgan doesn’t believe he would have lasted in youth ministry if it wasn’t for other youth leaders.
-Session 4 was 3 quick, practical topics presented from the mouths of people who have lived them.
-Husband and wife Chris and Billie Bartley shared how they lead by example in a lifestyle of praying, caring, and sharing with the lost.
-Grace Wallace shared first-hand experience of how a student-led ministry inside of a youth group can change the whole trajectory of your life.
-Co-founder of See You At The Pole, Rick Eubanks, spoke about students seeing their school as a mission field. Students can go where the adults can't!
-Over 400 youth leaders attended different breakout sessions.
-Greg Stier started Session 3 by asking some of the attendees to “Pause for the Cause” and share Gospel conversations they’ve had recently. One attendee said she had shared the Gospel that afternoon with a gentleman, and he accepted Christ! Praise God and pray for our new brother.

The evening was just getting started!
-Doug Henry started out his talk with some examples of how he encourages Gospel-sharing stories in his youth group. Doug ended by challenging the audience to leave space for Gospel stories in their ministry.

-Then it was Zane Black’s turn to take the stage. Zane Black is a longtime friend and partner of Dare 2 Share. Summed up simply: “If you want to play it safe, go get a real job. Ministry is a calling.”

The 2nd day of Energize Youth Ministry was INCREDIBLE. Looking forward to the last day tomorrow! #energize2026

[Dare 2 Share Ministries @Dare2Share]

Last of the evening, but not least, Zane Black hit the stage. In usual Zane fashion, he had a skateboard and a message: Youth ministry is a calling, and clarity in that calling will Energize your ministry mindset. #energize2026

[Dare 2 Share Ministries @Dare2Share]

Doug Henry had us on the edge of our seats when he took the stage carrying a dodgeball in one hand. Doug exhorted all youth leaders to make time for Gospel sharing in their ministries, because there is power in sharing and celebrating stories. #energize2026

[Dare 2 Share Ministries @Dare2Share]

That is a wrap on Energize Day 2! More Gospel. More growth. More momentum. Excited to keep the momentum going tomorrow! #energize2026
