Everything you three have spoken is spot on! Great job doing this. My biggest challenge has been as a youth Pastor is the Parents, the home life. We preach it, teach it, stuff it and cram it in their minds but if they don't see Dad and mom and unfortunately the lack thereof hope tends to slowly bleed out. They'll be close to conversion and close to committing it all to Christ and dad and mom blow it, then it like it almost goes right out the window. May God help us reach this Generation for His glory. Apostasy is staring us down every youth night. Thank you guys. God Bless
I think the biggest challenge in youth ministry is convincing church goers that youth ministry as a program, as we see it today is at all modeled in scripture. Its not.
The biggest challenge in youth ministry is getting young people to believe you. Fundamentally they reject what you preach as not being true. Just as you think other religions are not true, they think there same about the Christian religion, not real and not true.
This challenge should be met with prayer because belief and regeneration is not upon the Pastor's convincing but rather upon the Holy Spirit's conviction. I think our responsibility as preachers/pastors is to faithfully and clearly deliver the gospel in a language they understand..
@@ErnestWamboyeso what? You’ll just sit down in a room and tell everyone to pray? You look at it form the POV of you, an already believing person. Why is it so hard for some people to see your own actions and words through the eyes of the audience?
There is a large and growing segment of youth that identify as "nones", "dones" or atheists. Take that in and you might understand why attendance is dropping.
Eternal life is conditional! Faith shows in works. Works are what Jesus the supreme judge going to use. Even Gentiles who show works because of conscience playing the work of written word of God. No works as evidence of conditionally imputed righteousness because of belief is fake Christianity

Those young people are right. Christianity IS bullshit.

The biggest challenge is to convince young people it's not bullshit. Which it is! ☺️
