There are seven myths that have grown up in and
around ministry to young people and they are
dampening the passion that is needed to excel in
youth ministry. Not everyone will have been taken in
by every myth, but once these myths have been
melted it will give youth leaders an opportunity to
reappraise their priorities and rethink the way they 'do'
youth ministry.
Using a combination of biblical truth,
real-life example, and comments from a variety of
youth leaders themselves, Nigel James identifies each
of the seven myths, explains why they can be
damaging, and establishes the correct thinking on the
specific issue raised.
Myths melted are:
- You can really make a difference in your one hour a
week
- Size isn't important
- We don't preach, we just sow seeds
- You have to ask them what they want
- Young people lack commitment
- Young people are the future of the church
- We're not in the entertainment business
Not everyone will have been taken in by all the myths,
but no-one will be immune. The melting of these
myths will lead to a change of mindset and focus
towards ministry.
