Life In Student Ministry

About this original series

These videos are by youth workers at studentministry.org who love serving the body of Christ around the world in training, equipping and encouraging other youth workers. These videos are sometimes fun, sometimes serious, sometimes training, sometimes about my life as a youth pastor, sometimes random thoughts and challenges, but always about youth ministry.

      My parents give me no privacy!

      This week we answer a teenager's question about privacy from their parents. This teenager feels like his/her parents are always around, invading their privacy, not giving them any space, and even suffocating them. How do you handle a parent who is overly protective, strict, and overbearing? How do you talk with your parent about it to resolve the tension? What do you do when you family is always in your space and not giving you any breathing room? That's what we discuss in this week's Youth Qu...

      I'm Addicted To Pornography!

      Whether you're a guy or a girl, most of us are exposed to pornography and are forced to choose how to respond to it. Do we give in and indulge ourselves in viewing sexually explicit material, or do we resist and refuse to let our minds and hearts be polluted? This week we answer a question from a teenage guy who admits he's addicted to pornography and that he can't go a day without feeling the urge to view it. I answer that question alone this week since it's an issue I deal with personally. I...

      The Lifebook [review]

      A better process for hiring a youth pastor

      This interview with Mark Riddle is in response to a couple blog posts I've written recently about churches and the hiring process they usually follow to find and hire a youth pastor, but it applies to church staffing in general, as well, especially for pastoral positions. 10 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR YOUTH PASTOR SEARCH COMMITTEEhttp://stumin.org/gXcqso A TYPICAL APPROACH TO HIRING A YOUTH PASTORhttp://stumin.org/f6Lueu A BETTER APPROACH TO HIRING A YOUTH PASTORhttp://stumin.org/h9CUyT MY VLOG YOUT...

      What youth workers need to know about YouTube

      THIS IS THE DESCRIPTION BAR! :) I talked with Jeremy Alexander about the community on YouTube and what it means for youth ministry both today and 5 years down the road. Your youth group kids are most likely not just watching an occasional video here or there, but they're forming para-social relationships with people who share their lives and thus their values on YouTube. Who are your youth group kids connecting to on YouTube? And how does that possibly influence their own values and perspectiv...
