One of the best gifts I can give my students is to make sure to keep my own heart spiritually healthy and close to Jesus. Then I can invite them to experience the joy of walking with Jesus that I am actually experiencing.
I want teenagers, over time, to get a taste of the whole counsel of God and to grow in their desire to plumb its depths for the rest of their lives
Sexuality, as seen in the story of Scripture, is not first and foremost about rules. It’s an invitation to a relationship with the perfect Lover, one who offers a truer freedom, a deeper intimacy, and a better “ever after” than any other love story.
Friends, this is why we’re in youth ministry. We want our students to know the joy of walking with Jesus as their greatest treasure!
