Ready or not, the game is changing. Life has shifted more dramatically in the past hundred years than it did the thousand years before. It's altered more in the past five years alone than it did in the previous fifty years. What does this mean for the next three years? The next ten years? The problem is, we're not playing a game. The stakes in the church are higher than they've ever been. As leaders, we risk the future of this generation if we ignore the rapid change of pace. Zombies, Football and the Gospel walks you through ten game-changing concepts that will help you navigate the shifting sands of culture and connect with the world around you, both personally and professionally. (And just in case you're wondering, zombies and football provide key sign posts along the way.) The game has changed. It's time for us to change the way we play because we can't afford to lose.

Leading a Special Needs Ministry: A Practical Guide to Including Children and Loving Families

Amy Fenton Lee

There are some things adults just can't do for kids. You can't force a toddler to love broccoli. You can't make a teenager not date someone. And you can't make a kid love God. At some point it just starts to break down. Playing for Keeps is a book for parents and leaders (and anyone else who influences the lives of kids and teenagers). In Playing for Keeps, you will discover six things every kid needs over time, and 18 practical ideas so you can make what really matters matter more.

Playing for Keeps/Losing Your Marbles

Leading a conversation with a small group of teenage guys isn't always easy. Sometimes they talk too much, way too much. Sometimes they don't talk enough. And sometimes you're pretty sure your volunteer training didn't quite prepare you for the sort of things they'd like to talk about. Actually, if you've been a small group leader for at least five minutes, you probably already know what it's like for a small group conversation to totally bomb. So if you've ever looked at your small group of guys and wished you knew what to say, what not to say, when to speak, when to listen, how to make them talk, how to make them stop talking, then this book is for you. The Art of Group Talk helps small group leaders like you have better conversations with teenage guys. Because, as a small group leader, you lead a conversation with them every single week. Conversations about their lives, their dreams, their friends, their imaginary friends, and their definitely-not friends. And sometimes you even manage to lead conversations about faith. This is a book to remind you that your small group conversations (even the ones that don't go exactly as planned) really matter. But there are a few ways to make your conversations matter even more. With personal insight and practical advice, Jeremy Zach and Tom Shefchunas will help you discover helpful tips and strategies for leading conversations with your small group of teenage guys.
