Analogue Nostalgia is really something youth ministers & leaders should pay attention to. It reveals deep longings within Gen Z that can serve as bridges for meaningful discipleship.

Starting Strong: How to Pray for Our Kids This School Year - Growing Young Disciples https://t.co/MSZWp2vFap

[Mel Lacy @lacymel]

This is always such an encouraging week of rich fellowship & encouragement. I’ve no doubt it’s one of the reasons I’m still going on in ministry after 25 years. I’m grateful to @timbobulous for his entrepreneurial vision to serve kid’s & youth workers all those years ago.

I’ve had the immense pleasure of spending time at Yarnton a couple of times this year, it is a truly beautiful place.

I’ve also had the privilege of hearing Zack preach this year, it was balm to my soul.

The combination of both in the form of a retreat sounds near perfect!

A Thread…
+ Why do I need a conference-retreat?
Many in ministry are too busy. We’re activists. Whether it’s an overly long todo list, the fact that we've phones in our hands meaning every second can be ‘productive’, or whether it’s seeking to justify ourselves through all we do

[Mel Lacy @lacymel]

@petewright1988 Super helpful, thanks Ash!

@Markins @Awana Amazing Matt! We loved having Mike with us recently @GYDisciples & hearing some wonderful encouragements from the worldwide ministry.

[Growing Young Disciples @GYDisciples]

It is a real joy to partner with @crosslands in the delivery of the CYM Track on their Seminary Programme. We are thankful for this partnership in the gospel and so enjoy the privilege of being able to tutor students in thinking more about ministry to the next generation. 1/
