Throughout history, very few people challenge the norms of society. Whenever someone does, they stand out. Few though they may be, there are shining examples through history of men and women who threw down the gauntlet to their generations. Moses confronted Pharaoh. Gideon provoked the followers of Baal. Paul faced down the Pharisees. We can look to Esther, Lincoln, Mandela, Paine, Schindler, Luther, and Christ Himself for inspiration. The world is shaped, and has always been shaped, by individuals. There is a stirring in the youth of this nation. There are those who are ready to embrace a cause even if it compels them to live counter to their culture. These twelve, and fourteen, and seventeen year old potential dissidents are just waiting on a leader who will articulate the vision to be countercultural. You are that leader.

Everything you need in a youth ministry curriculum--20 great lessons, downloadable PowerPoint for each lesson, video illustrations, small group questions, application activities, and more!A few years back, the National Study of Youth and Religion (NSYR) undertook a massive three year study. The results were not pretty. The NSYR found that most American teens, even those claiming to be Christians, embraced a faith in "Moralistic Therapeutic Deism--a hodgepodge of banal, self-serving, feel good beliefs--that bears little resemblance to the historic teachings of Christianity."Sadly, it is not teenagers to blame for this, but churches. Instead of filling teens with a counter cultural mission that requires intentional living and sacrificial giving, far too many youth ministries offer teens what Kenda Dean calls a "diner theology: a bargain religion, cheap but satisfying, whose gods require little in the way of fidelity or sacrifice...filling [teens] with an agreeable porridge about the importance of being nice, feeling good about yourself, and saving God for emergencies." As if all of that wasn't bad enough, the study went on to show that the average teenager views God as either a butler or a therapist, someone who meets their needs when summoned, who listens non-judgmentally, and helps them feel good about themselves.In spite of all of that, the youth of America still have the energy and enthusiasm necessary to change the world. We just need to give them a mission and a vision worth fighting for, then point them in the right direction! So it's time to quit adding water to the Gospel. Instead, let's boldly challenge today's youth to strive after the standards, requirements, and expectations of God's Word.Youth leaders, let's teach total surrender not agreeable assent. Let's preach Christ-likeness not "moral affirmation and a feel-better faith." Let's point youth to a holy God that wants to guide their lives instead of pointing them to a "buddy" who's willing to tag along behind. And let's give teens a vision to follow Christ, not culture; to seek after holiness, not Hollywood stars, and to desire heavenly things, not worldly ones.That is the purpose of this lesson book. Are you ready to make an eternal difference in the lives of today's youth? Are you ready to turn teens' eyes from the culture and focus them on Christ? Are you ready to be on the front lines, training and equipping our teens to change the world? If so, then download this book today!

Over the past several decades there have been three significant shifts in youth culture; each new shift brought with it different values and priorities in the lives of teens. Youth ministries adapted and responded to the first two shifts, but we’re missing the boat on the third. The result? Youth ministry isn’t addressing the realities and needs of today’s youth culture.After nearly three decades in youth ministry, Mark Oestreicher has lived through a lot of those shifts himself. In recent years, he’s found himself wondering what needs to change, especially since so much of what we’re doing in youth ministry today is not working.In Youth Ministry 3.0, youth workers will explore, along with Marko and the voices of other youth workers, why we need change in youth ministry, from a ministry moving away from a dependence on programs, to one that is focused on communion and mission. They’ll get a quick history of youth ministry over the last fifty years. And they’ll help dream about what changes need to take place in order to create the next phase of youth ministry—the future that needs to be created for effective ministry to students.

"Bill Myers has offered a much needed picture of black and white styles of youth ministry. His own style of writing is stunning. The book is so rich in historical reflection and descriptive detail that one cannot avoid being confronted by the urgent issues of race, culture, and social history--all vitally important in shaping ministry."

This book is a unique contribution to the study of children’s and youth ministry, displaying the rich theological thinking that is developing amongst Australian evangelical scholars. Many of the writers have previously presented at the Youthworks “House” conference, which promotes “theological reflection for best practice in youth and children’s ministry in a community of youth and children’s ministers.” The themes explored in this book are vitally important to pastors seeking to nurture young people as disciples of Jesus. Thirteen evangelical scholars answer questions such as: How can biblical theology shape a young person’s view of themselves? What is the biblical definition of church and how does this shape our understanding of intergenerational gatherings, family, and community? How should young Christians interact with the culture around them? And how do biblical teachings on sin, grace, and wisdom provide young people with the resources to live in today’s world? You will be challenged to reconsider how theology and exegetical study of the Bible can mold your priorities, principles, and presumptions as you exercise ministry to and with young people.

The youth ministry focus of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's life is often forgotten or overlooked, even though he did much work with young people and wrote a number of papers, sermons, and addresses about or for the youth of the church. However, youth ministry expert Andrew Root explains that this focus is central to Bonhoeffer's story and thought. Root presents Bonhoeffer as the forefather and model of the growing theological turn in youth ministry. By linking contemporary youth workers with this epic theologian, the author shows the depth of youth ministry work and underscores its importance in the church. He also shows how Bonhoeffer's life and thought impact present-day youth ministry practice.

In the mid-twentieth century, far more evangelicals supported such “liberal” causes as peace, social justice, and environmental protection. Only gradually did the conservative evangelical faction win dominance, allying with the Republican Party of Ronald Reagan and, eventually, George W. Bush. In Countercultural Conservatives Axel Schäfer traces the evolution of a diffuse and pluralistic movement into the political force of the New Christian Right. In forging its complex theological and political identity, evangelicalism did not simply reject the ideas of 1960s counterculture, Schäfer argues. For all their strict Biblicism and uncompromising morality, evangelicals absorbed and extended key aspects of the countercultural worldview. Carefully examining evangelicalism’s internal dynamics, fissures, and coalitions, this book offers an intriguing reinterpretation of the most important development in American religion and politics since World War II.
