IssuesRecharge Bible study: Life that comes from God
I’m married to a musician, specifically a singer and a choir leader. Although I don’t tell her this very often, I am amazed at the roomfilling sound she can pull out of a group of 30 or so often croaky voices, and the confidence she gives them to make that noise.

IssuesHoliday clubs: One step beyond
I was reminiscing the other day with a friend about holiday clubs we had been to as children. As we are both in our early 40s, our fuzzy memories of singing songs and craft activities were at least 30 years old. It really made me think: if the ministry of holiday clubs has been going since the 1980s (and even longer), then is it still relevant in 2016?

Calls for Better Sex Education
The Daily Telegraph has launched a campaign to improve sex education, after claims that the current guidance is out of the date. The last material for teachers in this area was published in 2000 and has no mention of online pornography, ‘sexting’ or social media. The attention has drawn support from a number of figures and organisations including Girl Guides, the NSPCC, Mumsnet and Claire Perry (the Prime Minister’s children’s advisor).

Ready-to-use discussion: Better together
All the best heroes have one thing in common – they’re better together. Just think about The Avengers. Sure, Captain America is pretty great on his own, but when combined with Iron Man and The Hulk… now you’ve got yourself a super team capable of taking on all the world can throw at them.

IssuesBetter together
Here is something you already know: we do not change the lives of teenagers. We’re in the transformation business, but we play a support role. We are transformation hosts, really, since the work of transformation belongs solely to the Holy Spirit.

IssuesQ & A: Jerome Berryman
There are few people who have influenced children’s ministry as much as Jerome Berryman. The founder of Godly Play – a reflective storytelling method encouraging children to explore the mystery of God – has brought about a shift in the way that we do and think about children’s work: from an educational model of old to a model of experience and encounter

IssuesThe Youth Work Lab: Belonging
Traditionally, a model used to plot peoples’ journey into church has been simplified into behave, believe and belong. Simply put, this means that people are asked to follow Christian behaviours such as no sex before marriage, living humbly and giving generously, but also to behave in a way that might make them more acceptable within our own church community. Then, after behaving like a Christian, it’s thought that they might understand that this behaviour is a good and right way to live and so come to believe in the ways of Christ. Once this is done, they are then accepted into the church community and find a place of belonging, often through some kind of ceremony like baptism.
