You have the passion it takes to serve in youth ministry, but where do you start?

All youth ministers have asked this question to themselves at least once in their career: “What do I do now?” Practical Wisdom for Youth Ministry is a practical, concise starting point to help answer that question and many others. This resource is packed with expert advice and personal testimony to support and encourage ministers and volunteers working with youth.

Practical Wisdom for Youth Ministry addresses many pressing issues for youth ministers with straightforward steps that are both biblically grounded and easy to apply. It discusses large-scale concerns such as organization, budgeting, and outreach, as well as personal concerns such as marriage, self-care, and conflict. For new and veteran youth ministers, David Fraze offers the necessary tools to help build a strong foundation for effective, powerful ministry.

David Fraze, DMin, has worked in youth ministry for over thirty years. He is a popular speaker at youth events and ministry seminars, and he engages with young people through many ministries including Sticky Faith, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Youth Specialties, and camps at Lubbock Christian University.
