Simply Junior High Podcast

Kurt on January 29th, 2009

About once a month or so (and by “or so” I mean once a month…once every-other month…once a quarter….whenever I get around to it!) I shoot a short, 10-15 minute, video podcast dealing with various topics related to junior high ministry. If you’ve never seen one, you can find the archive here. The goal for each podcast is to give a quick little bit of insight and share some of my learnings on any given topic.

Here’s where I could use your help: What are some topics you think other JH youth workers are wrestling through? What do the paid “Point People” struggle with? How about their volunteers? What might a part-time youth worker in a mid-size church want some insight into? How about the “point person” who is also a volunteer in a small church?

I have been wrestling with this. The word “missional” gets tossed around a lot these days. In general I love the idea of connecting with people where they are and doing life together. I see value and merit with the idea that we need to meet people where they are instead of expecting them to come to us.

My question is,”what does missional junior high ministry look like?” I know that our students don’t fully get what it means to be a disciple who loves their world. But they can get glimpses and tastes of it. What does it look like when a junior higher gets a taste of it?

Thanks,

How bout some tips on working with busy volunteers who rarely can make meetings or trainings…who by nature feel disconnected from the community.
