Our first-ever interview guest is Brad Griffin, Senior Director of Content and Research for the Fuller Youth Institute, and co-author of their new book, Faith Beyond Youth Group.It has been nearly 20 years since Sticky Faith brought to light the troubling truth about Millennials leaving the church. Those same problems–exacerbated by accelerating technology, anxiety, and a worldwide pandemic–are affecting Gen Z. What can youth workers, parents, and church leaders do to stem the tide of young people abandoning the church?Steve and Brad have a great conversation around the unique characteristics of America's largest generation, and how we can foster true Christ-like character to create a better generation of Christians than the ones they are following.Mentioned in this episodeSticky Faithhttps://fulleryouthinstitute.org/stickyfaith/parentsNational Study of Youth and Religionhttps://youthandreligion.nd.edu/Carey Nieuwhof Podcast (Kara Powell)https://careynieuwhof.com/episode628/Reggie Joiner/Orangehttps://thinkorange.com/Dallas Willardhttps://dwillard.org/books/divine-conspiracySkye Jethanihttps://www.holypost.com/Youth Leader Check Uphttps://fulleryouthinstitute.org/We are proud members of the Download Youth Ministry Podcast Network https://www.downloadyouthministry.com Watch us on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@youthministrysherpasC2C Follow us on Instagram!Email us at youth ministrysherpas@gmail.com
About Brad Griffin Our guest, Brad M. Griffin, is the Senior Director of Content & Research for the Fuller Youth Institute. Brad develops research-based resources for youth ministry leaders & families. Brad is the coauthor of over fifteen books, including Faith Beyond Youth Group, 3 Big Questions That Change Every Teenager & 3 Big Questions That Shape Your Future, Growing Young, and Sticky Faith. He is also a speaker, writer, and volunteer pastor. Brad and his wife, Missy, live in Southern California with their three teenage and young adult kids. The Ideal Youth Group Together, Michelle Hill, Trace Embry and Brad Griffin discuss the role of youth groups in the church and how they can and should impact a child's faith. The ideal church youth group knows how to express and live out the importance of trust, consistency, and communication with its members. They also highlight the need for youth leaders to model Christ-like behavior and promote conversations about faith outside of the youth group. It is suggested that parents should expect youth leaders to provide information about the content of the group's discussions and activities. Parents should be given an outline of the youth group discussion topics to facilitate effective discipleship and transparency. Youth groups shouldn't try to compete by trying to keep kids entertained. They already get enough of that! There should be an emphasis on the importance of fun in youth groups, but be cautious on relying too heavily on entertainment. Episode Highlights: Can parents be a stumbling block for youth leaders trying to disciple youth group participants? Think about your own child's youth group. Can youth groups be harmful to your child's faith? What does the ideal youth group look like? Does effective discipleship always include entertainment? Image from Canva

In today's show we're talking about the three fundamental questions our kids are asking: Who am I? Where do I fit? What difference can I make? It doesn't take long to realize these aren't just questions for kids, but questions we all deal with at different points in life. Knowing this, It's critically important we wrestle well with these core concepts of identity, belonging, and purpose—and Brad Griffin from the Fuller Youth Institute is joining us to talk about all of it. When it comes to identity, Brad helps us understand how our kids are already answering the question of “who am I” — so how can we help them reframe that biblically? He also reminds us that belonging starts in our home, and challenges us to consider ways to foster true belonging by allowing our kids to be themselves. And then when it comes to purpose, we get practical advice on helping our kids find their own purpose in the context of God's greater purposes for all humanity. All three of these questions stem from a book Brad co-authored called 3 Big Questions that Change Every Teenager. I ran across this book several years ago, and it has impacted so many areas of my parenting. I'm guessing as you listen today, a few things will click as to why your kids are saying a few things you don't understand. I'm so thrilled to have Brad Griffin with us!

Listen in on what Brad Griffin, co-author of The Three Big Questions that Change Every Teenager, offers out of his depth of experience in researching and living out the approaches that build solid, healthy relationships with young people. From research he co-led, we turn our focus to the questions every teenage holds in common: what is my identity; where do I belong; and what is my purpose? Our conversation provides insight into how you can harness these questions to deepen your family ties, along with a wealth of practical advice on positioning yourself to make these connections happen naturally and authentically. We even address what to do if all you tend to get from your teenager are grunts and one-word answers! Above all, here's one thing we insist you keep in mind: you already are a GREAT parent!

Every teenager is a walking bundle of questions. In their book 3 Big Questions That Change Every Teenager, Kara Powell and Brad Griffin from Fuller Youth Institute get to the core of what kids really want to know: “Who am I?” (identity), “Where do I fit?” (belonging), and “What difference can I make?” (purpose). In this episode, co-author Brad Griffin shares the findings of the book's research on the upcoming generation, and he offers us the rare opportunity to ponder these questions before they arise so we can communicate them to our children.
While the questions remain the same, the world around us shifts and adds new challenges and opportunities for teenagers as they are learning to discover who they are and why they are meant to be here... But with constantly changing culture, how do we go about walking alongside the students (and parents) as students navigate? Come join the conversation as Brent sits down with Brad Griffin, the Senior Content Director of Fuller Youth Institute at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California as they talk about his new book (co-authored with Kara Powell) called "Three Big Questions That Change Every Teenager: Making The Most of Your Conversations and Connections."

This week on Inside the Headset, we are featuring the 2021 AFCA NAIA Regional Coaches of the year. These coaches include Lindsey Wilson College Coach Chris Oliver, Southwestern College Coach Brad Griffin and Texas Wesleyan University Coach Joe Prud'homme. Chris Oliver recently completed his 12th and final season as the head coach of the Blue Raider football program. This past spring Coach Oliver lead his team to an undefeated 11-0 record and took home the first NAIA National Championship in program history. Coach Oliver has been the head coach at Lindsey Wilson since the inception of the football program in 2010. Over the past eight seasons the Blue Raiders have made the playoffs seven times and have won multiple Mid-South Conference division titles under Coach Olivers direction. Prior to Lindsey Wilson, Oliver spent five seasons as an assistant coach at Ohio Dominican. Brad Griffin will be entering his eighth season at the helm of the Southwestern Moundbuilders in 2022. This past season Coach Griffin led his team to a 9-2 overall record while winning a share of the KCAC Conference regular season title and earning an invite to the NAIA playoffs. During the 2020 season, Griffin led the Moundbuilders to their first national ranking since 1999. Prior to taking the reins at Southwestern, Griffin spent 11 seasons at William Penn University in Oskaloosa, Iowa where he served as the Defensive Coordinator while working with the Linebackers. Joe Prud'homme is entering into his sixth season as head coach of Texas Wesleyan after being tasked with restarting the dormant program in February of 2016. The Rams returned to the gridiron in 2017 after a 76-year hiatus, and in 2018 Prud'homme led the program to its first on-field victory since 1945. The 2021 season saw the Rams complete their first winning season since starting up the program as they went 7-3 during the season. Prior to Texas Wesleyan, Prud'homme compiled an extremely successful coaching career over 27 seasons in the Texas High School ranks. He came to the Rams after 24 seasons at Nolan Catholic High School where he won seven state championships.

PLEASE LEAVE US A ***** FIVE STAR REVIEW ***** ON I-TUNES!An interview with Brad Griffin!So much of youth ministry is built on programming, hype, and fun.

That's where we need to go, and where we go in today's episode.What are teenagers really thinking about? What are the deeper questions they are wrestling with? A new book from Fuller Youth Institute digs deeply into this subject and supplies us with a simple framework from which to have better conversations with the students we love. https://fulleryouthinstitute.org/3-big-questionsBrad Griffin, co-author of the book, is on today's show.

Kara Powell is the Executive Director of the Fuller Youth Institute at Fuller Seminary, as well as the Chief of Leadership Formation, also at Fuller Seminary. Kara is also the co-author (together with Brad Griffin) of 3 Big Questions That Change Every Teenager.While Kara Powell's book addresses the foundational questions that adolescents wrestle with, it turns out these questions linger throughout our lives. The three big questions focus on identity, belonging, and purpose, and an understanding of these questions can give us insight both into our own anxieties, hopes, and motivations, as well as the anxieties, hopes, and motivations of those we work with and lead.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:One of the reasons Kara Powell wrote this book is because a teen said, “I wish the church would stop giving me answers to questions I'm not asking.”This book is an attempt, through research, to understand, what are the questions that young people are asking and how do we help them experience Jesus' best answers for those questions?In speaking with teenagers, the three big questions had to do with Identity, Belonging, and Purpose:Who am I?Where do I fit?What difference can I make?The process of discipleship is the process of discovering Christ-centered answers to these questions.Kara Powell shares that almost every teenager feels like they are not enough. Jesus, however, says to teenagers, “You are enough.”The teens with whom Kara Powell spoke in her research said they feel like they belong when they feel safe and when they share experiences with others.Teens feel that they can make a difference when they are helping people. But they need to learn that they don't need to earn God's approval.According to Kara Powell, these three questions can be really helpful in working with people in our ministries and organizations. When we look a difficult issue as being a matter of identity, belonging, or purpose for someone, that issue can suddenly make sense.Kara Powell shares how understanding these questions have helped her even as a mom.To find out more about Kara Powell and 3 Big Questions that Change Every Teenager, visit www.3bigquestionsbook.com.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Books mentioned:3 Big Questions That Change Every Teenager by Kara Powell and Brad GriffinWebsite: www.3bigquestionsbook.comThe Online Adaptive Capacity Cohort, an 18-month process in which you and your team will learn how to lead adaptively in a changing world and you'll learn how to discern God's unique calling for you and your church.

A study from the Fuller Youth Institute reveals that today’s teens are the most anxious, diverse, and adaptive generation in history! Authors and youth experts, Kara Powell and Brad Griffin will help us Interact well with our teens so they can discover the best answers to life’s most important questions.
"Every teenager is a walking bundle of questions." If you have a teenager - guaranteed! - your teen has questions that may leak out, or remain bottled up. Kara Powell and Brad Griffin of the Youth Fuller Institute did research prompted by their passion to help parents and others who work with young people to better address our teens' tough questions. While your teen's questions may be broad and varied including issues such as the environment or money or social justice, these experts uncovered three questions that every teen is asking, whether or not they're voicing them to you. Kara shares practical advice about the role of empathy in having real conversations about your teen's tough questions. She also provides valuable insights into which critical questions your teenager needs answers to.

We're doing some shorter episodes for the summer, but will return to our interview format in August, just in time for the fall sports season. If you caught the last episode, you heard a portion of the Father's Day message I gave at Central. In it, I referenced some advice from Brad Griffin of the Fuller Youth Institute, my guest in Episode 4. He says when we pray for our kids we should pray they would know: 1) They are loved and 2)That they're never alone. After I gave that Father's Day message in Holland, I drove straight to Chicago to be with my Dad, who was hospitalized. His pain had been difficult to manage, and he was drifting back and forth between waking and sleeping. But he knew I was there and wished me a “Happy Father's Day.” And then my family, Kelly and our kids and my sisters and my mom prayed those two prayers for him: "Dad, you're loved and you're not alone. Dad, you are deeply and dearly loved. And you're never alone." It would be our last Father's Day together. Here are 5 lessons I learned from my dad…

Millennials often get a bad rap, being called lazy, or entitled, or idealistic, or naive - the modern "kids these days." But when you actually ask the younger generation what they value, as Brad Griffin often does, you may find they seek community and authenticity over trendiness and perfectionism. Maybe that's something that the American church is getting wrong, and maybe that's why less and less young people are going to church. Brad Griffin is a coauthor of the book Growing Young, where they break down through research and storytelling the ways that the church can remain relevant to youth and young adults. On today's episode, he shares their findings - and more importantly, the heart behind them.
Brad Griffin speaks from CDNLive to PCB Chat host Mike Buetow on the new electromagnetic (EM) simulation tool from Cadence. Brad describes how the Clarity software reads design data from all standard chip, IC package and PCB platforms, integrates with Cadence's platforms, and has won plaudits from key customers for its speed and accuracy.

Announcements “White Lives Matter” rally in Shelbyville TN, October 28th, Editorial Online platform The Tennseean has recently been reporting of several white nationalist rallies (called White Lives Matter rallies) that are planned for October 28th in Shelbyville and Murfreesboro TN among perhaps one other town. These spots were chosen by the event organizers, most visibly Brad Griffin, who writes under the alias Hunter Wallace on the blog Occidental Dissent, because of the state's Republican and red status coupled with a mistrust of law enforcement in what they're calling “more Democratic towns”. According to a statement that they released on Saturday, The National Socialist Movement, a pro-white organization based out of Detroit, MI, said the group's “street action” would be broadening its scope to include other small TN towns in the vicinity of Nashville. This same statement claims participation by other groups such as League of the South and the Traditionalist Workers Party. It's not known how many people will be attending at this time, though the organizers are predictably posturing that it will be a well attended event. The stated purpose of these events is to protest the changing demographic of middle TN, silence from the White House regarding a fatal church shooting in Antioch last month (in which the perpetrator started his early life in Sudan but was a US citizen) and probably some other white nationalist nonsense as well. According to interviews posted a couple of days ago by WCVS, residents of both Shelbyville and Murfreesboro are both angered at this groups' presence and confused about why their hometown was chosen. Many statements include disgust at the very message of white nationalism and white lives matter. It's believed by residents that these groups are outside agitators who are descending on them to disrupt their town and their already scheduled community events, and by doing so are making implicit assumptions about their way of life and of thinking. All the organizing information is attempting to draw a clear link between these events and the by now internationally famous events in Charlottesville Virginia of August 12 this year, even though that day was a clear loss for those on the side of the alt right. Despite claims, also by the organizers, that the event “will not be violent”, police are gearing up in those cities to prepare for the rallies. Just last night (October 7th), in that same city of Cville, Richard Spencer showed his face and formed a 30 strong, 10 minute long torch march around the doomed Lee Monument (scheduled for removal) in Emancipation Park, the site of their previous defeat. Predictably, police were heavy allies to the Nazis and escorted them away under police protection. If you are disgusted by this, you can call the folks at the CPD and ask them why they're still helping Neo Nazis do their thing. They can be reached at 434-970-3280. In this post Cville landscape of frenzied and often disorganized white nationalist activity, it is perhaps important to keep these things in our sights and oppose them as best we can. The exact location of the event has not yet been released, but it might be reasonable to assume that the information will be posted on Griffin's blog a day or two beforehand.

Fuller Theological Seminary changed my life, so it's probably not a surprise that you see me talking about the seminary so much. Fuller was and is an amazing community of people who provide a safe place for someone to wrestle with the big questions of faith. Fuller challenged me to think about my faith, rather than just tell me how to think. But they also provided the boundaries to work that out in a loving community who loves Jesus Christ. I tell you all of this because I'm continually astounded by the work that they continue to do, the graduates that come out of there, and the professors and administration that guide them. And Fuller Youth Institute is no exception. Under the direction of Kara Powell, Brad Griffin, and many others, FYI is the premier place that continues to research and provide resources to families on a large number of topics. I am constantly referring clients and colleagues to their website as it's one of the best places at the intersection of youth, families, faith, justice and technology. In this episode I had the opportunity to sit down with Brad Griffin who is the Associate Director of FYI, and who over the years I have had the opportunity to develop a friendship with. Ironically enough, Brad and I have only met one time in person several years ago. But over the years he has been my main encouragement and editor on the many articles that I have written for FYI. Brad, you made my articles sound great...thank you. In this episode we cover a lot of ground. There were so many more things I wanted to be able to discuss with Brad, so I will definitely have him back on the podcast. But we covered a lot around the intersection of faith, families and technology, while focusing a lot on the pressure kids experience in our culture with the overscheduling of their lives. But in this episode we explore: the work of Fuller Youth Institute the Sticky Faith research and curriculum the epidemic of overscheduling kid's lives. youth and sports. NCAA latest report on youth and the specialization of kids in one sport. the transmission of faith in families. how we can successfully navigate the use of technology in families. and so much more.... iTunes -- Stitcher Player FM -- Libsyn Resources Mentioned in the Episode Fuller Youth Institute Sticky Faith Right Click: Parenting Your Teenager in a Digital Media World Denise Pope's Research at Stanford Race to Nowhere Beyond Measure Wendy Mogel Madeline Levine Families and Faith: How Religion is Passed Down across Generations by Vern Bengston NCAA Survey Sheds Light on Athletes' Youth Sports Experience
