- Kara Powell - Youth Ministries Best Kept Secret - You!
If your church is like most, the majority of adults are either too busy or too intimidated to invest in students’ lives. Yet according to the Fuller Youth Institute’s Sticky Faith research, the more healthy adults can be invloved in students’ lives, the better. You’ll leave this lab with a host of practical, proven ideas to get out of your seats and into students’ lives.

Biblical Interpretation for a Busy Youth Worker.
Biblical Interpretation for a Busy Youth Worker. So many commentaries, so little time, so much confusion, so what? This session will give you and your team a big picture look at the task of biblical interpretation: Why is it important? Why would it make a difference in the way we teach our kids? And how can I do it well without a bunch of degrees, a load of time and a library of books? This practical and helpful session will help your team do a better job of faithfully digging into the Word.

- Jonathan McKee - Connecting with Kids on the Front Lines
How do you reach a generation starving for someone to notice them? How about "one kid at a time!" Let's pause for a moment, stop thinking about "program" and start thinking about connecting caring adults with kids. This session challenges and equips youth workers, both paid and volunteer, to initiate contact with today’s teenagers.
