The Student Ministry Debate: Digital vs In-Person

By Nick Clason|2024-10-28T11:33:48-07:00October 31st, 2024|Hybrid Ministry, Videos, Youth Ministry Ideas|0 Comments

In this week’s episode of the podcast, we invite familiar voice and perhaps, as I describe him,

“The Greatest Programming Specialist in America,”

The one and only, Josh Boldman.

But here’s the fun twist, Josh made up a mock youth ministry night, and without sharing it ahead of time, brings it in for Nick to try and “Hybridize” each element of the service.

Not only is it fun to watch me on the hot-seat, but I believe you’ll leave with a plethora of new creative programming ideas for your student ministry!

Can’t wait for you to watch it or listen wherever you get your podcasts!

Holy Clicks: Winning Online in 2024 (and Beyond!)

By Nick Clason|2024-10-28T11:30:48-07:00October 24th, 2024|Hybrid Ministry, Videos, Youth Ministry Ideas|0 Comments

Some churches are reaching thousands of young people online.

How can you, whether your goal is virality, or just simply serving your own church members well, win online?

Because let’s be honest, Carey Nieuwhof wrote this about the church’s sometimes archaic approach to church and discipleship in 2024, he said:

“Let’s just get everybody in the building, and we’ll figure it out”

Online offers a whole new frontier for churches and youth pastors.

So let’s talk about it!
