Being a youth worker means being more than a babysitter or a chaperone. It means walking with them through the exciting and challenging times, the highs and lows of the teenage years. Approaching ministry with this mindset means you will find yourself in a wide range of significant moments in students lives. Are you prepared? Are you ready? Do you know the best way to respond? Veteran youth worker Matt Murphy and seminary professor Brad Widstrom have teamed up to write 99 Thoughts on Caring for Your Youth Group and offer a wealth of practical tools, tips, and techniques to help you become a youth worker who is equipped to care for teenagers from the coffee house to the crisis moments. Their thoughts are divided into five categories: Who you are as a caregiver. Equipping yourself as a caregiver. Caring for teenagers in routine ways. Intervening when significant events arise. Responding to major crises. Serving as a youth worker is an amazing calling, an incredible opportunity, an exciting adventure. Investing in your role as a caregiver will multiple your impact in the lives of teenagers, free you to know that God will strengthen you during difficult ministry moments, and encourage you to see yourself as someone who can make a lasting difference.
