RC09: Ministry Value #1 - Part 2

Renewcast

We discuss ministry value #1 about belonging. Special guests Amber & Brennan Ministry Value #1: “We believe the church needs to be a place where all youth are welcome and find belonging. This happens through authentic, meaningful relationships between adults and youth.” We discuss: A few quick comments about Dave’s office, regarding cats and the Cubs. In the last episode, Jack shared some thoughts on a high schooler’s perspective of the church, and we discussed God creating us to be in relationship from Genesis 2. In this episode, we look at that a little deeper. If we believe God desires us to be in relationship in the church, then how do we get that? Is it working? What things prevent deeper relationships? Things like the “Sunday School answer” and inauthenticity. What’s the result of a lack of relationships in the church? Church as a classroom vs church as a community. How do we correct the concerns? We discuss a new way to look at how we teach in the church, which is more about a relational conversation than a lecture, as well as empowering youth to use their voice.
