About this ebook

Do you feel overwhelmed at the thought of helping out with the youth ministry? What about the tricky theological questions that keep you and your fellow volunteer youth workers on your toes? Help is here! Veteran youth pastor Mike McGarry offers a practical, comprehensive tool to equip and encourage everyone involved with the youth of your congregation for fruitful, gospel-centered ministry to students. In a two-part approach, he tackles both the practical skills and biblical depth needed for effective gospel-centered ministry to today’s youth. He leads readers through essential theological truths they should be equipped to discuss with students and offers practical skills every youth worker should cultivate.

Lead Them to Jesus offers insight into the religious worldview of Gen Z and illustrates how to connect the gospel to their questions and core desires. Not only are young people ready to discuss hard issues such as suicide, suffering, and navigating difficult relationships, they are looking for authentic leaders who are committed to speaking truth and investing into their lives.

Written with volunteer youth workers in mind, McGarry prepares readers to go deep with students about what they believe and why. He also helps them think through the strategic role of fun and games and shares how to navigate conflict and cliques. Also included are chapters addressing the importance of partnering with parents. Lead Them to Jesus shows youth workers how the gospel shapes every part of how they do youth ministry and will get your whole team on the same biblical and logistical page.
