The Importance of Seminary to Youth Ministers

In this episode, Davis is joined by Mac Harris, a current seminary student, and the youth and family ministries coordinator for Hope Community Church in Charlotte, NC. Mac shares some of the most impactful things he is learning in seminary, and how those insights have directly benefited his ministry to young people. He also provides fresh insights on how youth workers can determine whether or not seminary is a wise investment (of time and of money) and encourages churches to partner with youth workers as they pursue ministry development. Additional ResourcesJump-start your ministry development using the resources available at https://www.rootedreservoir.comChelsea Erickson, "Youth Ministers - Yes, You Should Consider an M.Div.
