There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing those you minister to at a young age grow up and grow into all that God has for them. Kaleb White is one of those people in my life.
Kaleb is the Director of Student Ministry at NewSpring Church, and a young leader with an incredible perspective and pulse for the times we’re living in.
In this episode, he shares about what he’s currently seeing in students, why we need to take Scripture’s call to pass on our faith seriously, how to structure ministry effectively for students, and the rise of mental health issues.
This is another episode you don’t want to miss. Listen in!
Key Takeaways
1) The next generation needs more mentors (and that’s what we’re called to). “Every day, it seems like someone else gets to determine what needs to be most important to me.” This is the pace that young people have grown up with. It’s so important to be present in their life as they process everything going on in our world and their life.
2) You don’t need to reinvent the wheel to make a difference. This is the core reason we’re excited to share the free resource Kaleb shared today (linked here and below). When we try to push ourselves to do something just so it’s “new,” we miss out on the relational and strategic opportunities before us.
3) Just assume and step into the lives of students. When God puts someone on your mind, reach out to them. Who cares what they “think” of you? In many cases, being a steady presence can literally save a life.
