Anyone involved in ‘next generation’ ministry understands the complexity of discipleship. It involves many nuanced levels of engagement, from the simple conversations around the snack table at a church's youth group event to the heartfelt prayer times during worship.

Understanding the long-term impact of a Christian educator
Several months ago I ran into a student I had taught in middle school. He was now married, a father, and very successfully employed.
