Talking to Teenagers about Questions They Have

So to frame this conversation, I do wanna re- remind those who are watching or listening, uh, if you have questions about anything we talk about here, uh, you can send me an email, kyle@youthministryinthevine.com. Also, if you'd like coaching on how to apply these principles and the framework that we talk about in season one or season two, uh, send me an email.

Uh, actually today at the time of this recording, I have a coaching call, uh, with someone in Indiana, and I'd love to help you figure out how to apply these principles to your youth ministry.

'Cause the three words we talk about, we want this to be biblical, sustainable, and contextual.

Mm-hmm.

Mm, yeah.

And we just realize that, uh-

Yeah

... every youth group is different.

The context is different.

Right.

Uh, but every youth group has students who are asking questions.

Yeah.

So the reason I picked this topic is, uh, conversations that I've been having, not even with students, but a, a lot of times we'd say we wanna go upstream, right?

Mm-hmm.

If, if we're talking about, uh, middle schoolers and high schoolers, if we go upstream...

I just talked to a good friend of mine whose, uh, daughter is not even in kindergarten yet, and, uh, they used to be my neighbors.

Uh, now, uh, they come to our church.

Uh, we coach soccer, and she's on the soccer field.

There you go.

Shout out, Marty.

And-

I like him already.

[laughs]

[laughs]

And, you know, uh, on the soccer field, we're just talking, talking about how, uh, the little girl's just asking all these questions.
