202: What Are The Unique Challenges of Youth Ministry in a Liturgical Church?

Church tradition or liturgies can be challenging to pass on to students who swim in an ever-evolving culture. After all, aren’t teenagers looking for dynamic experiences that are relevant to their daily lives? Aren’t sacred rituals dull to a younger generation?   Or maybe that’s not the whole story.   Listen in on this interview with Jason Smith, who is a veteran youth worker serving in an Anglican context, as he unpacks the ways that he’s seen not just unchurched students engage in ancient faith practices, but their entire families. And you should definitely check out this picture of the worship wheel he talks about!   You are invited to the YWC Conferences! All the details are available at YouthWorker.Community. Bring your whole team to be encouraged and equipped to better disciple the students in your ministry.   November 3-4, 2023 - YWC Conference Winnipeg November 17-18, 2023 - YWC Conference Moncton January 26-27, 2024 - YWC Conference Saskatoon February 2-3, 2024 - YWC Conference Vancouver February 9-10, 2024 - YWC Conference Calgary   Are you a youth pastor?
