A similar thing happens in the movie, &#8220;Independence Day,&#8221; starring Bill Pullman, who plays the President of the United States. His speech as the troops are preparing to attack the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Small churches can be frustrating places to do outreach to teenagers. Frankly, the thing that attracts most teenagers to a youth group is other teenagers. And, a small youth group, by definition, lacks a large group of teenagers. It can be a difficult cycle: The teenagers you have may not be excited about your group [...]]]></description>

However, simply having positive relationships with teenagers isn&#8217;t enough. Teenagers need adults to invest in their lives. For effective youth ministry, we need to be investing in the spiritual growth of teenagers. Developing a discipling relationship with a teenager [...]]]></description>
