Gender: Knowing the Difference for More Effective Ministry (Crystal Kirgiss)

Our brains are different (in some ways). Our biology is different (to some extent). Our bodies are different (obviously). Wherever you fall on the nature vs. nurture or essentialism vs. nominalism debate, we all know there are at least some basic differences between (most) guys and (most) girls. Come learn about how the latest discoveries can help us navigate gender in both ministry and life.

The Mentor's Tool Box: Helpful Tools for Shaping Young Disciples (Mark Matlock)

In this Learning Lab we'll explore the valuable role of mentorship that we play in the lives of teens and introduce a handful of tools we can use to help students become more like Christ as we disciple them toward maturity.

Youth-Led Ministry: Training Your Replacements (Tim Eldred)

You realize that young people are ready to step forward and put their faith in action, but you're not sure how to balance letting go with making room for them to take ownership.  How do you walk the fine line of leadership while giving young people responsibility for their ministry?  How do you move from adult-driven to youth-led without losing control (or your job)?  Those are some of the difficult issues this seminar tackles to teach you how to stop doing youth ministry and start helping youth do ministry.
