As the year 2022 comes to a close, the Rooted blog team presents the Editors’ Choice selections, a handful of our favorite articles of the year. (Our selections are in no particular order—we loved them all and could have named a dozen more!)
Each article in some way represents Rooted’s vison: to transform youth ministry so that every student receives grace-filled, gospel-centered and Bible-saturated discipleship in the church and at home. We hope these articles will encourage and inspire you as you share the good news of the gospel with the teenagers in your care.
