YPT Podcast Episode 24: Cultivating Faith That Lasts (Danny Kwon)
Every parent and every youth pastor wants their teenager to continue walking with Jesus throughout adulthood. But that’s increasingly not the case. What leads to that and what can we do about it? In this episode, we talk with youth ministry veteran, Danny Kwon. Discussion includes,
What are some trends you’ve observed that you suspect play into teenagers leaving behind their faith during adulthood?
How can a youth ministry prioritize making lifelong disciples over settling for big-impact events right now?
How do you think church attendance (not just youth group attendance) plays into this concern?
Is there a way for youth pastors to have hard conversations with parents when they observe patterns that seem to de-prioritize faith to their kids?
For the young youth workers listening, especially those who don’t have kids… how can they meaningfully come alongside parents in a way that supports passing down the faith?
Danny Kwon is the youth and family pastor and adjunct youth ministry professor outside of Philadelphia. He’s the author of multiple youth ministry books - Mission tripping (a guide to youth ministry missions) and A Youth Worker’s Field Guide to Parents.
