Sunday services can reach new people, people who look to the church to help them solve their problems and answer their deepest questions.  In this episode, Becky and Kerry discuss a few suggestions on what churches can do to give attention to the message, guest services, and the children's ministry.  This is the seventh and last episode in the series, "Reach New People."

Today we are discussing the  challenges and solutions from leading multiple ministries at one church.  Youth pastors, notoriously, have to wear multiple hats within their youth ministry from being the event planner for themed nights, to being the janitor after midweek service, to being a counselor working two students through a disagreement; but sometimes, it's just more than just wearing different hats, it's having different JOBS within the church.  Join us for this episode where we take a look at some of the problems and solutions that can come with leading multiple ministries.

Welcome to Episode #17 of the Gospel for Everyone.  On this episode, we sit down with Mayfair's Student Minister, Matt Flynn.  We talk about his faith journey, his recent engagement, and the excitement and challenges of working with teenagers today.  

There’s little chance that we are able to discern biblical truth from the spirit of the times until our roots go deep through washing and delighting ourselves each and every day in the Word of God. Sadly, many of those called to nurture children and teens in the faith today are misleading the young by never faithfully teaching the truths of God’s Word. And without a knowledge of the truth, the enemies lies are more easily believed. Even what seems like an innocent Christian children’s book can put kids on a fast road away from the true Christian faith. That’s why I’m chatting today with Elizabeth Urbanowicz about how to train our kids in biblical discernment, on this episode of Youth Culture Matters.  

Have you been hired as the youth pastor at your church and been tasked with the job of growing your youth group but the congregation's average age is....well, very old?  This episode will be able to help you look in to some of the macro and micro level things you can do to help grow not only your student ministry, but your church as a whole.  Even if you are working at a younger, family oriented church, you might get some great tips on how to make your ministry more attractive to new members to draw them into a closer relationship with Jesus.  This episode was a suggestion from one of our listeners, thank you for the contribution!

In the new series What To Do When Parents Come To Church, Elisabeth and Jeremy flip the conversation from the last series, What To Do When People Leave. What do church leaders do when parents drop by? What about when they drop in? This three-part series gives you quick and easy tips that help you learn how to connect with the different types of parents. In this episode, you'll learn about the Drop-Off Parent and four ideas to best relate to them.

In the final episode of What To Do When People *Leave* series, Elisabeth and Jeremy answer a question that church leaders entertain at some point during their duration of ministry...When is it time to leave work for this particular church?  Because each circumstance is unique and specialized for each person, they offer four markers that help leaders identify if they are ready to transition.

Part of working in Family Ministry means you work alongside other staff members (paid or volunteer). So when one of them leaves, regardless of the circumstances surrounding the exit, there are always social dynamics at play. For example, certain families have lost a friend, and responsibilities are left open-ended. So in today's episode from the What To Do When People *Leave* series, Elisabeth and Jeremy Lee give church leaders four pieces of advice to equip them with the soft skills needed to walk through the transition with ease.

In the second episode of What To Do When People Leave Your Church, Elisabeth and Jeremy cover a lot of ground discussing the moment that many church leaders dread...when a volunteer says they're leaving. Is it possible to create a positive experience from the transition for all parties involved? They believe it's realistically possible with these four tips. From learning how to say thank you to starts and stops, they give you sound practical advice to create a healthy, collaborative culture that honors the concept of "leaving well." You'll leave with a vision on how to treat volunteers in such as way that they'll be lining up at the door.
