INTENTIONAL YOUTH MINISTRY

Matt’s Newest Release:

You have the heart to reach young people for Christ and help them reach their full God-given potential. But what if just having an energetic youth meeting isn’t enough? What if kids are showing up, but their lives are not being changed? What if the way we’ve been doing youth ministry for the last few decades has been missing the mark?

If you are not content with the status quo – if you have a hunger to have more impact, this book is for you.

Intentional Youth Ministry doesn’t just identify what’s broken or point out the things that aren’t working. You will gain practical insight that will help you increase your effectiveness. What if you could reach more students than ever before? What if you could go from impression to impact by simply being more intentional?

 “Intentional youth ministry isn’t just another inspirational book. It really is a practical guide that will help you move beyond impression to impact. If you’re looking to build something bigger than yourself, this is a great resource to help you do just that.”

Through thought provoking questions and real-life experiences, youth pastors and leaders will find practical insight that explains the value of intentionality and encourages them to lead intentionally.”

 “After 17 years in youth ministry I’ve explored just about every model of youth ministry under the sun with one main goal in mind, I wanted to help students reach their full potential in Jesus. Unfortunately, many of those models were missing a key ingredient, which was intentionality of what a student would “become” as a result of those ministry efforts. Many of the models helped get students to an event or a service but I still felt like we were missing the mark or maybe even failing to accomplish the mission.  

To be candid, I wish I could rewind time and take the wisdom from Matt’s book and apply it because I’m sure it would save me many frustrations from failed attempts to reach students for Jesus. 

I’ve heard it once said that “many ministries end up somewhere but few ministries end up somewhere on purpose.” If you want your ministry and the students you are leading to end up somewhere on purpose, then I highly recommend this book as a resource. Matt is one of the most effective Student Pastors I’ve ever witnessed that has served this generation well and for the long haul.”
