Justin Knowles and Sean Lord (2 great friends and veterans in Youth Ministry) have open conversations with each other and great guests about real life hacks in youth ministry. They will talk about things they are doing in youth ministry, what is working, what is not, and have some friends join the conversation along the way. The goal is to share real life, helpful, time saving and efficient hacks to help you do ministry better.
Just a podcast on things related to literature courses I teach at Bethel.
Youth ministry veteran Derry Prenkert talks about longevity in youth ministry and how to stay in it for the long haul. My Third decade is a proud member of the DYM Podcast Network.
As a Christian university, Bethel prioritizes and promotes spiritual expression — it is our mission to train you to be ambassadors for Christ. Chapel is often referred to as “the heartbeat of Bethel University," uniting the Bethel community for a time of worship through music and teaching.
Imperfection is our reality. We all have struggles, messes, pains, and pasts. Thank God for His mercy! How good is He? How faithful is He to forgive? He is the God of second chances. No matter where you are in life or where you've been, God has and is mercifully calling you back to His presence and His purposes. When you hear His calling, how will …

It is a literary feat that the incredibly small book of Jonah contains such an extraordinary epic. There are many deep insights and themes to glean from the four short chapters. On the surface, Jonah is the story of a prophet who runs from God’s calling on his life, but in reality, this book is about a merciful God.…

Almost nothing marks the life of a follower of Jesus more than the love they show for the world around them. Yet, if we're honest with ourselves, there are certain moments in life where love is incredibly difficult. Each of us knows what it's like to have a person that's hard to love or a behavior that's challenging to respond to in a loving way. J…

A flame is birthed inside each of us when we follow Jesus. But that’s only the beginning! Fanning that flame is a process that never ends. The Apostle Paul tells us how to determine our next step with Jesus each and every day, whether we're new to faith or have been following Him our whole lives, so the flame will grow and spread into a raging fire…

Isn’t it nice to fit in, feel accepted, and be well-received? Unfortunately, for the follower of Jesus, that isn’t always possible. The nature of the Gospel, partnered with our calling to share the Gospel, is at times a recipe for rejection. Let us not allow the fear of rejection to keep us from answering the call of Christ in our lives!…

For some time now, you've had a stirring. It's almost like a voice has been saying, "Something needs to change." Could it be that Jesus is calling you?

Why is it so difficult to give up control? Is it a trust issue? Do we fear being hurt, abused, or let down? Or could it be that we like to be self-made men and women? Do we like to make our own decisions, rules, and plans? Regardless of reasons, God calls every one of us to cease resisting Him and to submit to His authority.…
“For the spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” Our minds are beautiful and yet also dangerous places. The ability to think, contemplate, and process is a gift, but it is a gift that the enemy loves to exploit. The enemy engages our minds with deception, lies, and fear. So, Church, our mission is t…

Of all the different modes and methods, God chose a most peculiar plan to establish His Kingdom. His most peculiar plan shattered expectation. His most peculiar plan bucked more conventional thinking. He decided to send His Son, in the form of a baby. That child would dwell among us, rule in the most peculiar way, and establish an unshakeable Kingd…
Amidst all of the bad news, there is good news! It's easy to allow our circumstances to steal our joy. It's time to flip the script. It's time to discover hope. It's time to shake off the dust, reclaiming who we are in Christ when we realize His full and complete salvation. When we are in Christ, we have a story to tell and a song to sing!…
Have you ever said to yourself, “What in the world is going on?” Do you find yourself shaking your head in disbelief at what is happening in the world today?

Followers of Jesus are set apart, called to be different. We’ve been given, by the loving sacrifice of Jesus Christ, a new perspective on life. We live in the now and not yet. The Kingdom of God is here but is not yet fully realized. In the time remaining before Christ comes back, we have been given the beautiful work to be bringers of Good News. M…

Few of us like waiting for something. We live in an “instant everything” culture. And yet, could it be that waiting serves a very important purpose? For those who serve a promise-making, promise-keeping God, waiting for God to act helps direct their attention toward a future in which that faithful God redeems a problem-ridden world. Today we look a…
God has done such a beautiful work for us. Hear the words from 1 John 3:1—“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” So, what is our response to such a great work of love? The story of the ten lepers offers some powerful insight.…

What if there is not enough for me? This is one of the most primal fears of humanity. In response to fear we have the tendency to store, hoard, and hold onto resources with a death grip. It is an act of grace that Jesus lovingly teaches and shows us the power of loosening and giving.By Pastor Tim Veenstra
Life is not rainbows and unicorns. We are real people with real problems. But why are things so broken? Doesn’t God care? Why doesn’t he seem to do anything?
