Synopsis

Deep Ministry in a Shallow World will show you a new way to prayerfully reflect on the questions you face in your youth ministry every day so you can find the answers that will take it to deeper places. That’s because authors Chap Clark and Kara Powell have gathered significant research findings that will help shift your ministry paradigm.Did you know that:• the typical strategies we use to build relationships with kids might actually cause them to trust usless because of what this generation has endured?• recent research on communication could help us move past the witty talks and funny stories we work so hard to develop and instead actually connect the Bible to kids’ lives?• studies show that offering students “just Jesus” and not helping them at home, school, and in their neighborhoods might not help them very much at all? The authors’ research also led to their development of the Deep Design problem-solving process—a revolutionary model that will give you better tools than ever before to address every last issue you’ll encounter in youth ministry.

Goodreads review by Brian on June 02, 2014

Worth reading. Probably best to get the ebook too to have copy and paste ability for the lists included. The Audiobook readers are sloooooow. The book should be 4 hours, but it is drawn out to six. After trying and trying to listen to it and failing, I adjusted the speed in the Audible client. 1.75x......more

Goodreads review by Chris on June 23, 2014

The tile is really interesting and the first two or three chapters are good. When they go through every detail repeating the process it becomes fairly dry and repeative. To me it seemed pretty basic: what's really transforming about our ministry. Then look at history, Scripture, trends and people to......more
