Welcome to Rooted’s Top Ten, a curated reading list for youth ministers. Each month we find ten articles, and sometimes videos or podcasts, from various sources that we believe will encourage you in your ministry to teenagers and their families.
Before suffering comes, we can deepen our knowledge of God’s character so that our confidence in him won’t be shaken by future trials. We can learn now that God is our helper who responds when we lift our eyes to him.
Year after year, the Rooted content team considers our annual book awards one of the highlights of the year!
I think middle schoolers should read about the Luther family because it is a really good story about a family who went through hard times but prayed and listened to God to get through them.
The Jesus I came to know did not ask me to just try harder fix myself, but to come to him in honest confession of my sin, trusting his power to save.
Theological depth through expository Bible teaching is one of Rooted’s five pillars of gospel-centered youth ministry. As we work to teach teenagers the full counsel of God’s Word (Acts 20:27), we must always seek to grow in the grace and understanding of the gospel ourselves.
Whether God leads you into a lifetime of youth ministry or takes you through a season of it, the Gospel you share and the relationships Jesus fosters in His work will bear “fruit that [continues] to blossom.”
