Limitless Youth Ministry Podcast

How do we share the gospel relevantly with the next generation, without changing the message?

This is the great challenge the church must continually wrestle with, learning to communicate timeless truths in captivating ways. But… that’s easier said than done, right!? 😅

Research into the ‘signs of the times’ can be incredibly helpful as we consider how adapt our outreach as culture shifts. And that’s why Dave Newton, National Director of Scripture Union, joined us for a chat about Feel Good News, a piece of research intohow young people across the UK respond to the Christian message. It’s the largest and most comprehensive work done in this field in this century, so is well worthy of our attention! 🔥

We wrestle with a lot of profound, and at times challenging, implications here, including…  

✅ Apathy 

✅ God & Love

✅ Hope & Purpose 

✅ Community 

✅ Justice  

✅ Suffering

… and loads more! 

Jesus’ challenge to his disciples in Matthew 16 was to read the ‘signs of the times’: to listen, to learn and better understand in order to discern the missional environment. The conversation is an opportunity to do just that. 👌

A new year brings many gifts, but perhaps none great than a new series of the Limitless Youth Ministry Podcast! 🙌

To accompany our counter-culture theme, in 2025 we're going to be taking a deep dive into what's going on in youth culture right now. This new series is called 'Trending,' starting with a bumper chat with Beth and Hannah from Youth for Christ.👌

We cover A LOT of ground in this chat, including...

✅ What the 'Words of the Year' tell us about this cultural moment

✅ Mental health and loneliness

✅ Identity formation

✅ How young people are defining success

✅ Poverty rates amongst UK young people 

✅ What spirituality looks like for Gen Z and Alpha

… and loads more! 

So if you don't know what 'rizz' is, or if you want to know why 'brain rot' is a thing, or if you just want to get a better understanding of the world in which young people are forming their identity and building their faith, then this conversation is well worth a listen.

The Scripture is explicit in its instruction to ‘eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy’ (1 Cor. 14:1). It also tells us that ‘you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged’ (1 Corinthians 14:31). But for most of us, that’s more of a theological concept than an every day reality! 😅  

That’s why we sat down for a chat with Helen Azer from Heartcry for Change, to take a deep dive into the mystery of prophetic prayer. 👌

We cover a lot of ground in this conversation, including…

… what is prophecy and how we can grow in it ✅

… the distinction between the gift of prophecy and the office of a prophet ✅

… the connection between faith and prophecy ✅

… stepping out in words of knowledge ✅

… how the prophetic can impact our daily life of prayer ✅

… how to equip young people in the prophetic ✅

and loads more! 

This is an incredibly insightful conversation that’s sure to ignite your prophetic imagination. 🙏
