Just this past Sunday I was talking with a mother who has two teenagers that are 15 and 16.  They were heading to [a particular mega] church because they don&#8217;t like their youth group.  The 15 year old had a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most of us in small churches (big churches, too) deal with losing students as they get older. Sixth or seventh graders come into our youth ministries with lots of excitement.

		<description><![CDATA[If our discipleship of students does not lead to students getting their hands dirty in the lives of other people, we are kidding ourselves about how much discipling we are really doing.
