@FoMaHun THIS is what our students should be learning in school!! Fantastic video

@QuiGonJenna Then you must not have attended opening night of ep 2 where Yoda reveals his lightsaber to Dooku. Fans today take a fighting Yoda for granted - pre ep2, it was speculation. That night, it truly was a moment of epic greatness, you couldn’t hear the movie, the shouts were so loud.

Students have spiritual gifts too and we should let them do ministry alongside adults.

Unpopular opinion about youth church that will put you in this position

An exploration of the fruit of the Spirit: self-control. How can we live our lives to let ourselves be sourced by the Spirit more, every day?

@gregstier @MarkMittelberg In the same vein, “Youth Empowered” can help. This resource was written in 2020 to also help churches in equipping and deploying their students within ministry

@ErickaAndersen @CTmagazine If interested in another resource that speaks to this shift, my book Youth Empowered shares strategies of how youth leaders can serve alongside their students (rather than at their students), in an environment where youth can utilize their spiritual gifts

@kevinmyoung We are called today to minister alongside our students rather than at our students, and to help our students learn to utilize their spiritual gifts while in the youth ministry. Gen Z wants genuine and tangible faith - Youth Empowered can help https://t.co/xLadL2sMGe

@shane_pruitt78 Well said!

Porn destroys the intimacy between husbands and wives because it sets unrealistic expectations upon your marriage bed. The only body and the only experience you should be longing for is that of your spouse.

@shane_pruitt78 Apologies for the confusion, i should have clarified - I was disagreeing for the reason students leave after graduation

[Sean Buono @SeanBuono]

@shane_pruitt78 Forcing students to do church like the adult ministry is not the solution. Rather, we help them understand their calling, so that they become energized at the ability to continue to use their gifts after they graduate, regardless if they stay in home church or go abroad

[Sean Buono @SeanBuono]

@shane_pruitt78 Empowering students would not be the same model as a church within a church. Empowering students is a customized approach that caters to the characteristics of the respective youth min where each student is able to practice what it means to be a Christian in a safe environment

[Sean Buono @SeanBuono]

No longer is the event/pastor-led model sufficient for Gen Z youth ministry. Students today require a tangible Christianity that gives them the ability to engage their world. Youth Empowered can help

@gregstier Empowering and equipping students to lead in youth ministry is one of the best methods to doing this. One particular example that can work for churches is to involve them in the curation of content for the youth ministry’s social media account

@ErikReed For today’s generation, there is a 6th: equip and empower students to utilize their spiritual gifts and learn how to actively live out their faith while in your care. Gen Z’ers are looking for a tangible faith. Without putting action to words, Christianity falls to the wayside
