    Discipleship that Forms Christlike Character

    Discipleship that Forms Christlike Character

    As youth leaders, we all want to disciple our students to be more Christ-like but resources on discipling for character development are scarce. This season, we explore Christ-like characteristics and youth ministry activities that can help you support your students’ spiritual formation as they become more like Christ. Jen Bradbury shares highlights from FYI’s Character and Virtue Development project and what we’ve learned about how we can help our students develop Christ-like characteristics like humility, hope, love, perseverance, forgiveness, and compassion.

So encouraging! ,

Great Resource for Young Youth Workers

I cannot say how encouraging this podcast has been! It has a lot of practical advice, it helps you ask good questions, and it features the real voices of teenagers talking about the different topics. This is one podcast that I try to intentionally take time to listen to, because it’s always so worthwhile.
