Associate Pastor (and former Youth Pastor) joins the podcast to discuss his ideas and experiences with building a teaching plan in youth ministry.
Kyle, Linda, and Matt invite Associate Pastor Phil Leineweber to share about the work he has done toward building a teaching plan for students at his church. Phil shares about a youth ministry institute that he helped form in order that students would be challenged during their middle school and high school years to engage with various books of the Bible and topical studies. Phil emphasizes the need for intergenerational worship on Sunday mornings. What should Sunday morning Sunday School classes cover vs. a mid-week youth meeting? They address cycling through series, books, or topics so that those who aren't regular attendees might still hear particular messages by the time they graduate. Phil also emphasizes the need for flexibility within the overall framework of a larger scope and sequence.
