A New Kind of Youth Ministrychallenges you to take a fresh look at your ministry through the concept of “reculturing”—the act of changing the way things are done or simply creating a culture of change. No fly-bynight, change-for-the-sake-of-change concept, it’s about altering our paradigms for the sake of life change.

"If your vision is out of focus, simple tasks like driving, reading, and writing become difficult to do well. Faith is not all that different. In order to follow Jesus and become more like him, it helps if you can see your faith clearly—it helps to have a theology that you live by. Theology is simply the study of God and the Christian faith, and the understanding of how God and faith play out in our everyday lives. In Clear, you’ll walk through the foundations to a Christian theology so that you can better understand God and bring his truths into focus. You’ll learn more about: • God • Jesus • The Holy Spirit • Humanity • Sin • Salvation • The Church • Heaven At your own pace, you can work through the interactive exercises in this book to grow closer to God and to bring your faith into focus. You’ll have opportunities to study the Bible, pray, put your new knowledge into action, and much more. If any part of your faith seems a little blurry, this book will help you see it more clearly."

However, most volunteers come into a youth group with a very limited understanding of how youth ministry works, and what it takes to be an excellent leader.This training tool (book and DVD/digital video each sold separately) will save youth pastors time and give them exactly what they need to train a team of volunteer leaders that will take their ministries to the next level. Author and youth ministry veteran, Chris Folmsbee, teaches on key aspects of youth ministry leadership in each session. As volunteers follow along with the relevant and practical DVD lessons and engage with the Participant’s Guide, they’ll discover the tips and tools needed to become indispensable parts of the youth ministry.Designed for use with the What Did I Sign Up For? Video Study (sold separately).

If you are the parent of a preteen, you may feel as if you are the only person in the world trying to deal with this almost-grown stranger in your home. You might describe your preteen as opinionated, sometimes defiant, seeking independence one day and totally dependent on you the next, inquisitive, and--above all--seeking to break the world record for the number of text messages sent and received in one day. How, with all that is going on in the hearts and minds of preteens, can we parents help them develop A Faith of Their Own? Chris Folmsbee is an experienced youth worker, an author and speaker, and a dad. He understands that you the parent of a preteen is learning as you go. Understanding the Common Cry of Preteens is the first piece of a three-part series designed to help you help your teen develop spiritually as he or she develops physically and mentally. The ultimate goal is to prepare you as you lead your child to conform to the image of God through Jesus Christ.
