Faith Beyond Youth Group - Five Ways to Form Character and Cultivate Lifelong Discipleship

"This book is for all youth ministry leaders regardless of the size or context of their ministry. It's not a one-size-fits-all approach; it's an approach that values and esteems every young person entrusted to you by God. This book is hope-filled and provides a way forward for discipling young people in these rapidly changing times."--Christine Caine, founder of A21 and Propel Women"Rooted in research and data, Faith Beyond Youth Group reimagines what youth ministry can look like if our goal isn't behavior management but rather character formation. There is wisdom here for every church that cares about the next generation."--Skye Jethani, author of What If Jesus Was Serious? and cohost of The Holy Post podcast"I want teenagers to experience vitality and a glorious partnership with Jesus in his redemptive work in the world. Faith Beyond Youth Group provides rails to run on with research, theological insight, and plenty of practical ideas, bringing to life what some might wrongly think of as a rusty relic of the past."--Mark Oestreicher, founder and partner, The Youth Cartel"A game-changing resource for anyone in youth ministry. If you're a youth worker who wants to significantly impact young people's spiritual development, this book is a must-have resource."--Christina Lamas, executive director, National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry"This book had me at the title. It's what we all want, hope, and pray for--faith that matters long after our games, teaching, camps, and programs are over. Even better, the book delivers a clear and hopeful compass to reorient youth ministry toward what matters most."--Doug Fields, youth pastor and president of DownloadYouthMinistry.com
