Youth ministry fundamentals at your fingertips! Or call it a light-hearted primer to a serious subject. A Youth Ministry Crash Course is 150 to-the-point entries on issues you face every week -- topics that are described, simplified, illustrated, and occasionally tweaked by a couple of veteran youth workers who've acquired a pragmatic streak alongside their compassion for teenagers. Inside you'll find shrewd insight with a wry twist: - On Curricula: 'You know your kids better than some editor working away in a cubical somewhere. Change material to suit your group, and chuck what doesn't fly.' - On Recycling: 'Students cycle in and out of your youth group every three or four years -- so recycle your program themes and events that often too.' On Rules: 'Never make one when you're tired or ticked off.' - On Sacred Cows: ' Learn what they are and keep your kids away from them -- you'll add longevity to your job. E.g., no pew hurdling in the million-dollar sanctuary during youth night. - On Spiritual Growth: 'The kid that grows the fastest may not grow the deepest. Don't overlook the one who grows slowly but steadily.' Whether you're new to youth ministry, a Sunday school teacher of junior or senior highers, a volunteer, or a veteran with a novice staff -- in Crash Course you'll find instructions, motivation, and reminders of what the glorious, hectic calling of youth ministry is all about.

Reference

The first video package, on the theme of getting through everyday life, is titled Most Likely To Survive. What more rock-bottom topic could kick off the series? Kids can have knowledge in some areas, confidence in others, and experience elsewhere...but at the end of the day, many kids still harbor anxiety about co-existence. It's 'feeling a part' vs. 'feeling apart.' Every installment of Highway Visual Curriculum will have a theme. A subtle thread will tie the segments together, treating important themes like self-esteem, grace, discouragement, encouragement, grief, guilt, and forgiveness. Taken together, the segments will present thoughtful -- and thought-provoking -- video statements from many sides in many modes.

Highway Video Inc.

Highway Vid is Youth Specialties' exciting new series of videos. Each package is a video magazine of 5-6 segments on vital themes to youth -- their lives, their challenges, their joys, their insecurities, their questions... and their Savior. Every installment of Highway Vid is themed. A subtle thread ties the segments together, treating important themes like self-esteem, grace, discouragement, encouragement, grief, guilt, and forgiveness. Taken together, the segments will present thoughtful -- and thought-provoking -- video statements from many sides in many modes. Segments are of varying lengths, dictated by the content rather than artificial constraints. The total package (whether viewed at once, or through an evening, or over the course of a month) will therefore 'breathe' freely. Youth leaders, in group sessions, will have the maximum latitude to use the segments as jumping-off points for discussions, or integral think-pieces to explore themes... and lead students to explore themselves. Every Highway Vid installment includes a Curriculum Guide for Leaders -- a booklet that will supplement the segments; provides hints and guidance for the leader in group settings; offers reproducible checklists, activities, challenges, and journal-type action-prompts based on the videos. As usual, all such pages are also available as downloads from the YS website as well, for maximum flexibility. The first video package, on the theme of getting' through everyday life, is titled MOST LIKELY TO SURVIVE. What more rock-bottom topic could kick off the series? Kids can have knowledge in some areas, confidence in others, and experience elsewhere...but at the end of the day (literally) many kids still harbor anxiety about co-existence. It's 'feeling a part' vs 'feeling apart.' In the various treatments, young viewers will learn that they are not alone... they will learn how other kids (on the segments and, through the curriculum, in their youth groups) react to the same fears and perceptions... they will learn not one but several ways to cope and overcome, through the lessons inherent in the segments. MOST LIKELY TO SURVIVE 1. With parents 'BBQ' -- Video, Comedy -- See how Ryan is able to resolve his love for the BBQ with his overbearing, Marine drill-sergeant Dad. 2. With friends Interview/Documentary -- High School students are asked how they 'survive' in a world a friendship, peer pressure, and self-becoming. 3. With life (school, career pressure) 'Mini Scrolls' -- Mocumentary Comedy -- We all base our life on something, whether we choose to or not... see how ridiculous we can seem. 4. With God 'You Are Everything' -- Music Video/Story -- To really know God, we have to see past friends, family, school, church...and even ourselves. 5. Trying to do it alone Community Video -- Comedy -- Sometimes going through life by ourselves seems like the easiest way to go, but how long can you last?

The Highway Visual Curriculum series equips youth workers to help students with life issues. Each DVD package uses compelling video segments with man-on-the-street interviews, dramas, comic bits, parodies, testimonies, bogus commercials, mockumentaries, and music videos. There is also an interactive leader's guide that includes questions, lists, application points, biblical references, downloadable worksheets in multiple formats, and web-based resources. Volume 3 of the Highway Visual Curriculum examines the spectrum of responses to God's call on one's life. The presentations range from an avoidance of God's call to a passionate commitment to following Jesus. Unlike the previous two volumes, the sessions in Gimme God are linear--- not magazine-style---offering greater flexibility in use. Each segment builds in intensity, so they can be watched and taught individually or as integral pieces leading students to examine their own lives.

Gimme God: The Journey of Your Unfolding Faith (Highway Visual Curriculum)

Life is often presented to students as 'pre-destined,' that God has this perfect plan for us, and all we have to do is figure out what it is (specifically) that he's pre-planned, and align ourselves with that. What Do You Want? presents a new way for students to look at God's will for their life. This realistic curriculum will help students live 'in him', wherever they're at, with the life they have, in whatever they're doing. Each of the five lessons contains sections to help you customize material for middle school, high school, and even general church use. Five unforgettable productions ---dramas, comedies, interviews, music videos, documentary/mockumentary formats---are biblically based with practical application-points, about... *Understanding God's will *Decisions and dreams *Your identity Highway Video is a band of visual creatives, based in Northern California, who have experienced the spiritual power of visual expression.
