Read once a year
If you’re in ministry, & you’re breathing, you’ve been hurt. This book is a MUST read in ministry to keep tough skin, but a tender heart. Plus, each chapter is 2-3 pages, so it’s the easiest read of your life!
Youth ministry manual
Jeanne Mayo has been in local youth ministry longer than most of us have been alive, twice over. It’s our #1 recommendation for creating a family culture in your youth ministry.
Preaching manual
After 4 years of bible college & dozens of books on preaching, this is the gold standard in our eyes on effective communication.
Know your peeps
This generation is not like any before it. It’s beyond impaortant to know what they are about, and then leverage that towards Jesus. There is no better study on our youth than this!
Underrated
Students want to follow someone & something, but they will only follow if you know where you’re going & where you’re taking them.
Don’t judge a book by it’s cover
The best resource to help you counsel students through all kinds of issues. Remember, don’t be a hero, sometimes the best thing you can do is to refer your student to someone better quipped to handle the situation!
