Youth ministry has reached a place of crisis. The brokenness spilling over from dysfunctional families has reached epidemic levels. We see the evidence of that in our admissions department at Adventures. A much greater percentage of applicants are struggling with addiction and abuse issues than in past years.

Young people are looking for answers, but are not finding them at church - more than half leave the church during their college years.

Given that, what is a youth pastor to do?

I spoke at a conference about how youth pastors can fix their broken ministries. I delved into my own experience to help explain where they can find hope. Turns out they filmed it. Enjoy.
