FOR TEENAGERS
There are hundreds of youth workers and youth pastors on the site every day, so if you’re a teen and have questions for them, there’s an entire category there dedicated to you called “Teen questions for adults.” It’s a great place to get real, honest answers from youth pastors.

FOR YOUTH WORKERS
If you’re a youth worker, this is the perfect place for you to ask questions and get almost instant feedback, advice, ideas and suggestions for any question you can think of that’s related to ministry. Take some time to answer other people’s questions, too.

Check it out: www.MinistryQuestions.com

As you can imagine, this can be an intimidating time, especially for teens who have never started a spiritual conversation with a friend. Shawn Shoup, a youth pastor in Rapid City, South Dakota, is sending a note of encouragement along with some tips and scripture to his youth group kids almost every day throughout the next two weeks. Thankfully, he’s agreed to make his notes available for other youth leaders to send to their kids, too.

Youth leaders, you can download the first message below. Others will be forthcoming on this blog, so keep an eye on it in the near future.
