Jamie Mulvaney sits down with Worship Pastor and Youth Pastor, Dwaine, to reflect on the opening message of the Encounters with Jesus series. Beginning with Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana, they explore what it means to come to Jesus honestly with our need, our emptiness, and the places where the wine has run dry. Dwaine shares why this passage matters so deeply to him, and Jamie unpacks some of what did not make it into Sunday's sermon, from Jesus as Creator to the deeper imagery woven through John's Gospel. Together, they discuss why encountering Jesus is not just about learning more information, but being drawn into transformation through the presence, power, and love of God. The conversation also explores worship, vulnerability, obedience, communion, and the simplicity of Mary's words: “Do whatever he tells you.” Jamie and Dwaine reflect on how Jesus meets us in our lack, fills what is empty, and offers more than enough, not just as the provider of the gift, but as the gift Himself. Dwaine also speaks personally about finding Jesus in grief, suffering, and the hardest places of life. Through honest reflection, he shares how encountering the love of God changes not only what we believe in our heads, but what we know in our hearts, reminding us that Jesus is near, faithful, and able to bring joy, hope, and transformation even in the valley. This conversation is for: –anyone who feels spiritually dry or aware of their own need –those longing to encounter Jesus beyond information or routine –worshippers, preachers, and leaders wanting to make space for genuine encounter with God –anyone walking through grief, pain, or disappointment and wondering where Jesus is in it Make sure to subscribe, and we'd love to see you on a Sunday soon. https://stmichaelschestersquare.org/ https://www.tiktok.com/@st.michaels.chester.sqr https://www.instagram.com/stmichaelschestersquare

Check out GrowYourYouthMinistry.com for more info *** Summer camp can be the best week of the year for your youth ministry students while being the most stressful week for you and your team, and the stress usually comes from the simplest gaps: parents who missed an email, leaders who did not get fully aligned, and “tiny” forgotten details that turn into last minute problems. In this episode, we are sharing FIVE home-stretch youth group summer camp planning tips that keep logistics tight and ministry outcomes clear.We talk through a parent meeting that actually works, what to cover (itinerary, packing list, emergency contacts, spending money, expectations). Then we shift to a leader and driver meeting focused on safety, roles, communication, and wise decision making, including practical boundaries and the mindset that leaders are the stand-in parents on the trip. We also dig into summer camp checklists and why shared leadership beats heroic solo prep. You will hear ways to review shopping lists, tech gear, rec supplies, and medical prep, plus a simple visualization tactic that helps you catch the "I can't believe we forgot that" type of mistakes before you leave. If you want a smoother, safer, more spiritually focused youth ministry summer camp, hit play, share this with a student ministry leader, and then subscribe and leave a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review so more youth pastors can find it.=======You may also enjoy these episodes:(#063) How to Keep Your Youth Ministry's "Camp High" Momentum Going(#043) DIY Church Camp Planning - Youth Ministry Summer Camp CHECKLIST!(#044) Best Games for Summer Camp - 14 Fun Camp Games Ideas!(#053) How to Plan a Low Cost Summer Camp for Youth Ministry(#098) Get More Sign Ups for Your Youth Ministry Summer Camp!=======We love hearing from you all and we do our best to provide powerful and insightful youth ministry content on a weekly basis to be that coach and mentor you may not have, but desperately need.If you have an episode idea, please E-Mail us at MinistryCoachPodcast@gmail.com!If you have it on your heart to support this ministry, please consider going to our Patreon page at: www.patreon.com/ministrycoach=========

Every summer at Hope Church, we enjoy Summer Dinner Parties as a place to find community, be encouraged and get to know new people, but dinner parties are not a new idea. Jesus threw lots of dinner parties as well as attended many. Some of the dinner parties Jesus went to were planned, but some were last minute. This summer, we are going to look at some the dinner parties in the Bible. Can you imagine what it might've been like to be Dining with Jesus?

Check out GrowYourYouthMinistry.com for more info *** If your youth ministry calendar is packed but the room still feels flat, the problem might not be effort. It might be direction. Today we get painfully practical about vision casting in youth ministry and why a clear, God guided vision is often the dividing line between a youth group that feels alive and one that feels like it's dead.We talk about the difference between a good idea and a real vision, then we show you how to turn vision into a simple filter for everything you do as a youth pastor: your events, your teaching plan, your leader meetings, your budget, and your weekly schedule. We share how our church frames mission around discipleship and a healthy church environment, and why focusing on health over growth keeps you from building a youth ministry that looks impressive but burns people out.From there, we get specific about what vision looks like on the ground. We unpack how to teach students to think biblically about everything, how to help teenagers know Jesus instead of just knowing about Jesus, and how student leadership teams can change the return rate for new and unconnected kids. We also share simple ways to communicate vision so volunteer leaders actually buy in, including quick “locker room talk” moments before youth group and redefining goals for tough small group dynamics.

In this message from May 31st, 2026 , Youth Pastor, Brett Harper takes us through Matthew 5 looking at the Beatitudes.

It influences how we think, make decisions, view relationships, handle challenges, and understand truth. The real question is not if you have a worldview—but who is shaping it?In this episode of MY NEW NORM Podcast, Barry Scott Young sits down with longtime friend Kent Kelley, a global strategist and big-picture thinker with Compassion International, to discuss one of the most important issues facing believers today: developing and maintaining a Biblical worldview.Together they explore:* What a worldview really is* How culture, media, education, and relationships shape our thinking* Why so many people are influenced by ideas they have never examined* The difference between a cultural worldview and a Biblical worldview* Why discipleship is essential in shaping how we think and live* How believers can intentionally align their lives with God's truth* Practical ways to evaluate who and what is influencing your perspectiveKent shares valuable insights from his global experiences and challenges listeners to think beyond the immediate issues of life and consider the larger spiritual picture. This conversation is both encouraging and challenging as it calls us to move beyond simply attending church and toward becoming fully discipled followers of Jesus.If you have ever wondered why people see the same world so differently—or if you want to strengthen your own Biblical foundation—this episode is for you.Remember: If you don't intentionally build a Biblical worldview, someone else will gladly build one for you.About Kent Kelley:Kent Kelley has devoted over forty-five years to discipleship training across three continents. As the visionary founder of Crossroads International, he has woven discipleship into the organizational and mission goals of Crossroads and its bases in South Africa, India, and Pakistan. Prior to this, he spent 15 years as a Youth Pastor and Discipleship Pastor in Southern and Northern California.Resources:Search Amazon under Kent KelleyBook Vol 1: The Disciple's Manual: The Framing of a Biblical WorldviewBook Vol 2: Worldviews: Their Impact in Shaping Our Lives A Diagnostic Toolkit Connect with MY NEW NORM PodcastThank you for your support and interest!Subscribe, follow, and share this episode with someone who needs encouragement and perspective.Support the showmynewnorm.buzzsprout.com/ / YouTube.com/@mynewnorm

Send us Fan MailHow do we reach the Next Generation in youth ministry?  Gen Z can spot a fake a mile away, but they respond fast to something rarer: an adult who is fully present. In this episode, we have collaborated with Josh Williams from Beyond the Numbers podcast to talk about what healthy youth ministry looks like when the goal is real discipleship, not just a full room.We dig into the myths that keep churches stuck, what great volunteers look like and then we get concrete about vision, strategy, and program. Adding events can feel productive, but program for program's sake does not fix a discipleship problem. We talk about creating a culture that “drips” the mission into everything, building space for deeper worship experiences, and helping students grow in a relationship with Jesus that outlasts youth group.If you lead a student ministry, coach volunteers, or care about the future of the church, this conversation will give you practical next steps you can use this week.

Welcome to Las Vegas United!In this powerful episode, Pastor Mando Garcia from Victory Outreach East Las Vegas is joined by his son and Youth Pastor, Josiah Garcia, for a real and honest conversation about the next generation, revival, and the power of a genuine encounter with God.As revival continues to spread across the Church, this episode focuses on what God is doing specifically through young people. From the pioneer generation of Victory Outreach to today's “Third Wave,” we explore how God is raising up passionate, authentic, and purpose-driven young leaders for this generation.This conversation dives into the importance of creating space for young people to discover their calling now—not later. Through personal stories, testimonies, and biblical insight, Pastor Mando and Josiah share how one encounter with God can completely transform a life forever.In this episode, we talk about:• What the “Third Wave” generation represents• Why this generation is searching for authenticity• The importance of giving young people opportunity and purpose• How encounters with God shape a person's future• Why revival is reaching teenagers and young adults• The role of grace, discipleship, and mentorship in today's Church• How churches can empower the next generation now• Finding alignment with God's purpose for your lifeThis episode is a reminder that church is not just for older generations—God is moving through young people right now. There is a fresh hunger, a fresh passion, and a fresh revival rising in this generation.You belong. You have purpose. And God wants to use your life now.

Emilio gives his first message as Youth Pastor of CCC.

For years the narrative has been that younger generations were abandoning church and faith altogether. But something appears to be changing — especially among Gen Z and young men. New research shows younger adults are attending church more frequently and many are searching for purpose, meaning, community and direction in an increasingly chaotic culture. On today's episode, I sit down with Pastor Derek Williams, Youth Pastor at Mountain View Church, along with Children's Coordinator Savanna Weiss, to talk about why many young people are reconnecting with faith, church and community. We discuss: Why so many young people feel disconnected, isolated and without purpose Why young men especially appear to be searching for guidance and meaning The moral confusion and cultural decadence many families see in society today The growing hunger among Gen Z for structure, belonging and spiritual grounding How churches are trying to reconnect with younger generations Youth programs and outreach efforts at Mountain View Church Vacation Bible School and why investing in kids matters The upcoming free Disciple concert event in Flagstaff We also discuss how youth naturally push boundaries and rebel, but why channeling that energy into purpose, faith, responsibility and community may be more important now than ever before.

Most youth pastors don't fail on social media because they lack passion… They fail because they don't have this one thing — and honestly, most can't afford it. But for my 200th episode… I'm giving it away.... The strategy. The product. The membership. All of it!
