Session 1: The Real Root of the “Dropout Problem”: Is it possible, even conceivable, that our well-meaning ministry strategies have subtly erased “the real Jesus” from our menu? The evidence says “yes.” And, even more eye-opening, the embedded
“formula” that almost every church uses to encourage spiritual growth is fatally flawed. What are your conventional ministry practices subtly communicating to students? How are your strategies forming
their view of God and themselves? Explore what a youth ministry looks like when your everyday practices and activities all orbit around Jesus. Jesus wants teenagers to discover, early on, who he really is, and who they really are. So much in their life is telling them a lie about his identity, and their own identity. But we can help them discover their true name—and their true identity in Jesus. When that happens, everything changes.
