In this special bonus episode of The Youth Ministry Mindset Podcast, a limited series with voices from Alpha and YDisciple, Joshua, Annie, and Jordan continue talking with Jason Ballard and Ben Woodman about creating successful small groups. Join us as we continue the conversation on what youth ministry could look like in a post-COVID world.

SHOWNOTES

    -Pause along the way for discussion
    -Give opportunity for different points of view
• Use the tool to start and continue the conversation
• Not everyone can give talks, but everyone can ask what people think
• Train the youth to lead
    -Ownership in students
    -Create teamwork
    -Raise leaders
• Goal to evangelize through empowering others
    -Learn to ask questions they encounter outside the classroom
• Jesus sends out disciples but is still with them through the Holy Spirit
    -Being invited into the mission deepens our faith
    -Church today needs to still participate in that mission
