MINI-SERIES: Young People in the Church

Tim, Stu, and Joel are back with a brand-new mini-series, exploring Soul Revival’s framework of Theology, Strategy, and Practice.

This series kicks off with a sneak peek into Tim’s upcoming book, The Child in God’s Church. Using it as a launchpad, the team dives into the theology of children and young people, reflecting on why God designed our growth and development the way He did. Could it be that He wants us to learn from young people? And why has He chosen for us to mature differently at each stage of life?

Next, they delve into the concept of play and its integral role in discipleship. They explore the theological implications of embodying what we learn from God and His people through playful interactions and relational growth.

Finally, the episode wraps up with personal anecdotes and a teaser for next week’s discussion, which will focus on the Strategy of engaging young people in the church.
