There’s no shortcut to lasting transformation in your ministry. While we wish we could offer a foolproof “six steps to the perfect youth ministry” or some other pithy plan, it’s just not gonna happen. In fact, please let us know if we get that grandiose in our claims.

One of the incredibly fun parts of our work the past two years has been facilitating the change process in 28 inspiring churches through our Sticky Faith Cohorts. These groups share in a year-long journey with other church teams all exploring how to more faithfully practice ministry in ways that buoy lasting faith in students.

Today we’re sharing a video we’ve made with the help of our friend Paul Sun that we think really gets at the heart of the Cohort experience. We’d love if you would take three minutes to hear these stories, and if they spark something in you and your team, head on over to our Cohort page and fill out an inquiry form to be part of the next group, starting in January 2012!
