Volume 5, Issue 12 FYI E-Journal
December 1, 2009
I’ve got a confession: when I was leading a youth ministry, I was never quite sure what to do about our monthly volunteer staff meetings. I wanted to offer training to our leaders, but I could never find the time to prepare very well. So I often ended up winging it.
That’s why we are so excited about the latest FYI book coming out in January called Essential Leadership. Based on suggestions from some of you, we have taken much of FYI’s best research and developed nine training lessons you can do with your volunteer teams. No more feeling guilty about the lack of training you’re offering your team. No more wondering where in the world you’ll find time to prepare for your next staff meeting.
While the book doesn’t come out until next month, you can preorder it now. In this E-Journal, we wanted to think with you about the essentials of leading a ministry—like the gospel, and students’ view of God, and qualities of highly effective teams.

What is the Gospel?
At our recent Sticky Faith Summit, FYI gathered over 20 leaders from around the country to tackle tough questions about helping faith stick in kids’ lives. In this session, Chap Clark reframes the core of the Gospel for youth ministry by looking to the Apostle Paul.
Your God is Too Small
Charting Students’ Changing Views of God
What’s changing in your students’ views of God as they leave your ministry and navigate faith beyond high school? In our College Transition Project research we asked just that question, and what we learned can impact your ministry.
Essentials for Team Leadership
We all struggle with leading our ministry teams at times, especially when it comes to knowing what’s most important. Leadership coach and FYI Advisory Council member Mark Maines explores two team dynamics models and offers practical suggestions for your ministry.
