That is why I brings Ben Kerns back to the podcast. Ben recently wrote a post on his blog entitled, “Does Virginity Matter Anymore?“. It’s a fantastic post because it talks about where students are at today and challenges us to meet them where they are. Using virginity as a behavior that ministers strive to get students to be at, Ben and I talk about how relationships are the key to helping life change happen in the lives of people. So today, Ben and I go back to the basics and talk about where students are at and what are the best ways to minister to them through relationships. ACTION STEPS:
- Share your thoughts! How have you seen relationships developed in your ministry that have led to life change? Share your thoughts and insights below or on social media using the hashtag #ymsidekick.
- Connect with Ben: Ben is a great friend and a tremendous ministry resource. If you would like to connect with Ben, you can a few different ways. He’s on Email (sorry folks, no Twitter for him unfortunately), his blogs – Average Youth Ministry (more student ministry focused) and Benjamin Kerns (more leadership focused) with tons of great insights each week.
