Youth Specialties: National Youth Workers Convention: Sept 29– Oct 03, Sacramento, CA

Dave Livermore and I will be out at the NYWC this weekend. We’re doing two sessions:

Oct 1 (Sat) 2.00-4.30 PM (Super Session)

“Pursuing a Theological Matrix for Youth Ministry: Intersecting Theology with Real-Life Youth Ministry”

Our approach to shepherding has been to recognize that there are many lenses that create our own matrix of understanding and interpretation that quickly spill over into our leadership, shepherding, and following of Jesus. We’ll share what we’re discovering and move it very quickly toward case studies and group dialogue.

Oct 2 (Sun) 8.00-9.30 AM

“What is the Gospel?: Helping Students Articulate their Faith”

This has less to do with “evangelism” and much more to do with how we frame the story of God and help students embrace what they (and we) are actually a part of. Yes, it’s early. Come to the seminar and we’ll grab a cup of joe afterward.

For those of you who are going to be at the NYWC or are just in the area, give me a shout. We’d love to connect with you when we’re in town.
