Listen "Evangelism in Youth Ministry (w/Andy Stevenson)"
Episode Synopsis
We're taking a break from looking at evangelism throughout church history for Joel and Tim to have chat to Andy Stevenson, Head of Ministry Support Team at Youthworks. With Andy's vast experience in youth ministry, that's what we focus on. We hear about why how the youth ministry thinkers shaped how Andy does ministry, why he feels it's currently a lot harder to evangelise, but also why what is offered in Jesus is appealing to young people.08:26 Cultural Artefact - Andy's youth ministry story of late night rock climbing13:08 The state of evangelism in youth ministry28:34 Listening to young people34:10 Andy's ministry and the impact of the youth ministry thinkers49:51 Principles of youth ministry55:06 Youth ministry has become harder1:04:48 There are cultural issues, but no need to be fearful1:15:32 Looking to the futureWatch this episode on YouTube DISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODEResearch on evangelism by Barna:Almost Half of Practicing Christian Millennials Say Evangelism Is WrongSharing Faith Is Increasingly Optional to ChristiansIs Evangelism Going Out of Style?The Stats behind “Re-thinking Evangelism”Episode with Dave Lovell from Christian SurfersYouthworksThe Effective Ministry PodcastCONTACT USEmail: [email protected]: https://discord.gg/jTD5KNAYVEWebsite: shockabsorber.com.au
