Brent Bounds: Developmental Phases
In this workshop session, Dr. Brent Bounds takes a look at the spiritual and psychological development of adolescents. The workshop explores how the stages of child and adolescent development shape and influence a youth’s understanding of and experience with the Gospel. Using the work of Erikson and Piaget and others, the group discusses some of the core needs of children at this age and how to uniquely engage them in youth ministry.
Mark Howard: Teaching Revelation
It’s likely that your youth have asked you to teach on Revelation. It’s also likely that you felt overwhelmed by the thought and have avoided the book like the plagues it describes. In this workshop, you will gain the confidence and practical tools needed to disciple your youth through this powerful, hope-filled and God-given book of the Bible.
Bethany Jenkins: Education and Vocation
One of the primary purposes of education is to prepare students vocationally. It is a training ground for work. Yet what are the mixed messages about vocation that high school sends? Does it matter, for example, that academic success is measured by differentiating labels like “honors” and “regulars”? Should we care that certain subjects like math are prioritized over other subjects like dance? In this workshop, we look at some of the assumptions about vocation that are embedded in the high school education system and how the gospel frees us from the consequences of those assumptions.
