A half day of practical youth ministry training that focuses on building spiritual grit in teenagers. You’ll learn:

• What it takes to build endurance, character, confidence, and hope in teenagers
• How risk-taking in ministry fuels long-term impact
• How to inspire kids to do “more” instead of doing “for” them in ministry

We use our R.E.A.L. approach to training, which means it will be hands-on, you’ll try things that you can apply right away, and you’ll end up retaining over 70 percent of what you learn. We also create an environment where you’ll learn from each other. All of this will be taught by training pros who aren’t reading from a script, but practicing what they preach.

Thanks for your honesty. No, it is not a big infomercial. You don’t need to use our curriculum, or resources to attend or to understand how to cultivate grit in teenagers. We will have resources that you can purchase and explore, however.

This training works for 1 person, 2 people, or teams of 10. That’s why experiential learning is so powerful! Teams will walk away being on the same page, fired up to help teenagers grow strength and perseverance. And don’t forget to bring volunteers and even parents!

Child care is not provided. We love kids! But this is an opportunity for just leaders—teens and adults.

Lunch is not provided. Most participants go out to lunch with their teams afterward to debrief. Water, coffee, tea, and snacks will be provided during the event.

We understand that circumstances come up that you can’t help. This is a nonrefundable event; however, you may substitute a person in your place at any time. Please give us a call if you would like help with that.
