I think you have discovered something important about your call to ministry and about what is really important when mentoring youth. I’m sure your group has benefited from this shift in approach. Have you had any feedback from those who don’t like the new appraoch or from those who are more drawn to this way of learning? Peace, Brian

Hang in there. Your ideas are good ones & from my days as a youth SS teacher, I remember it worked better if I wasn’t so prepared. That way, God gets to lead through his spirit more & less depends on you. Kids are typically more in favor of rolling with the flow & they like candid conversations which are un-rehearsed as opposed to a “canned” approach.

Keep doing what you’re doing & God will bless it. I agree – a year does go by fast (especially when you’re having fun & in the middle of God’s will for your life).
