Nativity Student Leader Ryan joins Allie and Daniel to talk about his evolution as a student leader and the difference between giving menial tasks to student leaders and offering them responsibility that empowers them to take off and lead.

A student leadership team is on the wishlist for many youth ministers. Where do you start? How do you get students to sign up? Nativity Student Leader Lucy joins Allie and Daniel to share what they've learned in building a new student leader team the last couple years.

There are topics that terrify small group leaders. Perhaps just being in a room with a dozen teens is the terrifying part. How do we build the skills, knowledge, and faith of our leaders? That's the topic for Allie and Daniel in this episode.

Delegation and empowerment is key, but it's not common in ministry. Though they struggle with it themselves, Allie and Daniel talk about how they've built a team of over 100 ministers serving students each week at Nativity.

Inspiring, equipping, and retaining ministers is an ongoing challenge in Student Ministry. How do we prioritize our time with ministers? Allie and Daniel have some ideas to help.

Uprising returns for Season 3 with Allie and Daniel talking about their volunteer teams and how to clarify their WHY. When we lose our WHY, we lose our way.

Even with the advent of digital discipleship and technology connecting in ways we didn't imagine, we believe in the power of sacramental, incarnational experiences to build and deepen our faith.

In post-COVID student ministry, some things will remain and some will change. We look forward to what we're keeping and retiring.

Whether we call the rising teens Generation Alpha, Screenagers, or something else, what will this generation be like and how will it change our ministry with them?

Whether we call the rising teens Generation Alpha, Screenagers, or something else, what will this generation be like and how will it change our ministry with them?

Hybrid youth ministry is mixing on campus, in-person experiences and virtual interaction, and while challenging, there have been advantage to it versus the old model. We discuss what parts of it we want to keep and why.

What will student ministry look like after COVID? We're increasingly convinced there isn't a distinct date that things will change, so we're integrating both incarnational ministry and digital discipleship into our future.

Those values we've been talking about need to translate to something practical in our students. We wrap up this message series talking about the basic truths we want our students to know at each stage of their development.

If your students walked away from each level of your ministry only learning one thing, what would you want it to be?

These are the seven values we live by as a team of volunteers and staff working with children and students from 6 weeks to 18 years old.

Every workplace has values, some named, others accidentally reinforced. We want to more strategically recognize and uphold our values so we go from being a rules-based working culture to a values-based one.
