Engaging One-on-One Relationships
(Seminar Series #4)
Oct 12 1:30 PM-3:00 PM
Sacramento

In the last decade, we’ve seen a growing need for effective relational ministry in an increasingly isolated youth culture. But how can we initiate first contact? And how can we develop deep, growing relationships with diverse groups of kids? Connecting with kids has been deemed one of the most—if not THEE most—important priority in youth ministry today. This training provides unique insights into how to initiate contact with the different kids you’ll encounter in this rapidly changing culture and how to connect with them one-on-one.

Using 10-Minute Talks: Speaking to a Generation with a Short Attention Span
(Seminar Series #5)
Oct 12 3:30 PM-5:00 PM
Sacramento

Wouldn’t it be nice if all of us could communicate the Scriptures like Rob Bell or speak with the clarity of Andy Stanley? But let’s face it: We aren’t them. So we should stop trying to be them, right? That coupled with the fact that students’ attention spans are growing shorter and the need to communicate to this lost generation is even greater brings up a critical question: How can we communicate truth in a way that teenagers will truly remember? In this seminar you’ll learn the power and effectiveness of the 10-Minute Talk, a method of storytelling that’s laser focused and impactful.
