Faith, Work, and Wonder: Whole-life Discipleship in Youth Ministry

What is our salvation for? This is the main question explored in For the Life of the World - a 7 part video series that helps us investigate God's economy of all things.

This unique gathering for youth pastors will explore ways in which we can lead our youth in imagining how wonder, stewardship, and the everyday work of our hands are integral (not additive) to the gospel and whole-life Christian discipleship. Featuring the For the Life of the World video series and special guest Evan Koons.

We hope you'll walk away with a fresh perspective on how to practically invite your youth into the practice of wonder. Plus you'll receive a complimentary copy of For the Life of the World.
