		<description><![CDATA[By Paul Kelly Despite the fact that most teaching in youth ministry moves from the lips of the teacher to the ears of the student, most learning actually happens in a way that is more dynamic than that. Students usually grow the most in their understanding of their faith by processing experiences they have with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Scott Burks Those of us who stand before students and hope to communicate some sort of concept know how hard that really is. Students are busy, easily distracted, and recognize weak content from a mile away. Communicating in this culture is tough. Try the following next time you are getting ready to teach.

		<description><![CDATA[By Paul Kelly Teenagers begin to make decisions about how engaged they will be in Bible study as soon as they walk in the door. But a lot of us struggle to know how to make space teen-friendly. You may have great space for youth Bible study, or you may meet in the hallway of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Daryl Watts I have treasured Your word in my heart so that I may not sin against You (Ps. 119:11, HCSB). Charles Spurgeon once said that this verse was about putting the best possession (God’s Word) in the best place (ones heart) for the best purpose (avoiding sin). I doubt many youth workers would disagree, but how many [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bible study is essential in a small church. However, sometimes leaders approach Bible teaching as an informational task. We want students to know what the Bible says, and sometimes believe that is all that is needed. Learning, however, is about change. It is about transformation. Great youth Bible study doesn&#8217;t just give students information; it [...]]]></description>

Teenagers need a growing relationship with God that will provide a foundation of faith that they can build on for the rest of their lives. However, that may raise an interesting dilemma. As youth leaders, should we primarily see ourselves [...]]]></description>
