In this episode of the RYM podcast, Jeremy shares how his approach to youth ministry has shifted from focusing on what he needed as a kid to understanding what today’s youth need. We discuss the importance of adapting to Gen Alpha’s unique needs and how curiosity and empathy can make your ministry more effective.
Here are 3 takeaways from this episode…
1️⃣ Focus on Today’s Needs: Shift from giving students what you needed to addressing their current needs.
2️⃣ Be Curious, Not Judgmental: Understand students’ diverse identities and listen deeply beyond their words.
3️⃣ Support Deconstruction: Encourage and support both your own and students’ questions and doubts to foster genuine faith.
