Truth Drenched Youth Ministry (73 minutes)
How can we breed a ministry full of students who set their hearts to study, live, and teach the Word (Ezra 7:10), treasure the words of His mouth more than food (Job 23:12), delight in the law of the Lord (Psalm 1:2), desire God’s Word more than gold, and have the Word of Christ richly dwelling in them (Colossians 3:16)…all to the praise and glory of King Jesus? We can’t! But, God can! Come find out how God graciously seeks to create this kind of Bible-saturated breeding ground in your ministry to young people, for the fame of Jesus’ name in this generation!

Expanding the Expectation of Parents and Youth Workers (71 minutes)
What radical, Christ-exalting things are you expecting Jesus to do in and through the young people you serve? The Bible and church history reveal that God’s expectations for teenagers are much higher than ours . Our expectations as parents and pastors can be the greatest stepping stone or stumbling block to the fulfillment of God’s glorious kingdom purposes in the lives of the teenagers we serve. Join us as we beg Almighty God to expand our expectations. We will explore what God has done through teenagers throughout biblical history up to the present day, and consider how we can be “stepping stones” for God’s work in young people.

Raising Boys to be Godly Men in a Confused and Conflicted Culture (57 minutes)
It has been said that “Never before in our history have we been so eager to tear up the blueprint of biology and redefine our roles as men and women, mothers and fathers.” We need to equip children and youth to respond to a worldview that breaks down distinctions between the sexes, resulting in confusion and conflict. We will seek to explain how this happened, expose the underlying assumptions of popular feminism, and refocus our thinking through the lens of Scripture so boys and young men have a great vision of what God has called them to and equipped them for in this generation.
