this site is all about YOU -- the youth worker!

Glorifying God is the heart and soul of effective youth ministries.  So how does a youth worker accomplish this?  By cultivating environments within ministry that equip and empower students to live out the Great Commandments and be part of Jesus’ Great Commission!

kent-2.jpgThe Inside Out Youth Worker website is all about helping youth workers cultivate these kinds of environments!

What this means to you is...

The Inside Out Youth Worker website is designed to help you think deeply about The ArtWork of Making Disciples of Jesus Christ among students.

What do we mean by “the ArtWork of Making Disciples?"

The primary focus of this site is on the “art” of being a youth worker―how to be a youth worker full of Christ-centered confidence and character, as well as one who intentionally lives by clear priorities.  Then, and only then, do we zero in on the “work” of doing youth ministry―connecting with students, programming, teaching, equipping, and sharing the Good News with others.

In other words, when youth workers focus in on these two priorities—the "art" of being and the "work" of doing—they become leaders who live and lead from the inside out!
