A DOOR CLOSED, BUT A WINDOW OPENED!

5 minute read

If you stand at a window, looking into a room, could you give an accurate description of what the room looked like? Of course you could! But let’s say you only look through that one window for five, ten, or even twenty years. Then one day, someone comes along and pulls you around the corner to look into the same room, but from a different angle. Would anything change?

IT’S TIME TO LEARN HOW TO LEAD FROM A DISTANCE!

6 minute read

We all learned leadership the “incarnational” way, being with, living life together, on the front lines, shoulder to shoulder. But what happens when you have to lead people you don’t live near? What happens when a Global Pandemic ‘socially distances’ us from one another? What kind of leadership adaptations must you make to lead from a distance, be it down the street or across the Pacific Ocean? How can you learn Apostolic Leadership like the apostle Paul?

WHAT I WISH I KNEW...

6 min read

When I came on as a Committee Chair, I was still learning what committee actually was. My husband and I had been leaders for a few years prior before coming on committee and the committee I joined was fairly small at first. Most of us had never been on committee, and honestly most of us had never experienced Young Life as a kid ourselves. We were all learning together! I think my learning curve could have been lower if I had known a few things and pursued them earlier on - especially when I moved into the Committee Chair role.

Q. Proof of a Changed Life?

A. TRANSFORMATION

7 minute read

We can’t very well share the gospel unless we know the gospel, so the challenge to witness presses us to know Christ and our theology more fully. Once a young believer has seen their life make an eternal impact on someone else, they are hooked, as few things will ever seem as significant.

CONNECTING WITH THE NEW GLOBAL YOUTH CULTURE

5 minute read

Much of the formerly ‘Christian’ world is leaving its roots behind and is dominated by secularism (death to religion) and relativism (death to truth). The Bible is no longer considered the moral compass; rather, everyone is free to decide for themselves what is right and wrong.

Young people see the church as irrelevant to their day-to-day lives: a dead, empty tradition of the past. At the heart of any culture are the core ideas that form its view of the world. For the globalized youth culture, these core ideas are secularism, relativism, and tolerance.
