A Youth Worker's Guide to Navigating Risk (Revised & Updated Edition) is an indispensable resource for churches, para-church organizations, and anyone serving in youth ministry. Whether you are a full-time, part-time, volunteer, bi-vocational, rookie, or veteran youth worker, this revised and updated edition ensures you’ll be equipped to navigate the contemporary challenges, unique opportunities, and inherent risks in youth ministry today.
ABOUT THE RESOURCE
Youth ministry has evolved since the days of playing chubby bunny or planning the dreaded lock-in. On the one hand, there is a remarkable and truly unique opportunity to challenge an information-saturated generation to consider the life-changing claims of Jesus Christ. But on the other hand, there are significant challenges to how we do ministry in an increasingly dangerous, complicated, and litigious world.
Culture is not stagnant. It changes as time moves on, creating new challenges to navigate. This is especially true in youth culture. While the first edition of Protect reignited the discussion on risk management in youth ministry, this revised edition has been updated with today’s youth ministry leaders and challenging cultural issues in mind.
