As youth workers, we all have our vision---the plan we hope to make real in our ministries---to change the lives of teenagers as we introduce them to Jesus. But how often have you found yourself wondering if your picture is just wrong---or thinking you just don't know how to make your ministry match what you envision? In 101 Ideas for Making Disciples in Your Youth Group you'll explore the idea of ACTS to create a disciple-making ministry with the elements needed to create an environment necessary to cultivate this mission. ACTS represents everything a missional youth ministry needs to be about: * Adoration---More than an act, this is a lifestyle that is fleshed out in expressions of prayerful dependence, deep gratitude, and expectancy in what God can do. * Community---This is an atmosphere of genuine caring, authentic relationships, and unity based on Christ's love for his Church and the Church's love for one another. * Truth-and-Grace---The basis of everything that is taught and valued, this is a setting where God's Word is the standard and central to belief and behavior. * Serving-and-Sharing---As a way of life, serving involves helping the whole person by ministering to both believers and the lost by meeting their needs, as well as verbally sharing God's message of grace. As you dig into each aspect of ACTS, you'll discover Jesus' style and see how he cultivated each element in his own ministry. Then you'll explore the youth ministry style of each aspect, where you'll find 25 hands-on, easy-to-implement ideas on how to cultivate the same element in your context in order to create an environment of disciple-making that finally fits your ministry.

If affirmations are so powerful, why don’t they work for most people? In a word, most affirmations are “fake.” More specifically, they are fake to you, copy-and-pasted, like someone handing you their keys and sending you off to find a mysterious, hidden treasure. For affirmations to work, you must create them. This is the only way they become the keys that unlock the hidden treasure in your heart and soul. Affirm Yourself will equip you to write personal affirmations that are authentic to you! It will help you discover the affirmations already inside of you and show you how to make them an integral part of your everyday life. ————————————————————————— SPECIAL NOTE: One of the strengths of this book is it is short. Very short! Although the book is 80 pages, the most important content is less than 10 pages long, which means you’ll be able to read this content in just a few minutes. Why is it so short? That’s easy. As someone who has authored, co-authored, and contributed to nine non-fiction books including this one, Kent Julian has written long and short books. In each case, there is a specific purpose regarding the book’s length. For longer books, the primary purpose is to inform readers. For shorter books, the purpose is for readers to take action. THIS BOOK IS ABOUT TAKING ACTION. You don’t need to wade through 50 to 75 pages of information before crafting your own personal affirmation statements. What you need to do is TAKE ACTION, so the focused content of this book, along with the 30 worksheets, are designed to help you do just that!
