Your local church youth ministry gets just a few hours each week to make an investment in the lives of the young people who attend your church. In that time they are relationship building, teaching and holding our youth accountable to God's word. There is a lot of pressure for them to get it right, but is all of that pressure reasonable? Could our expectations for the breadth and scope of their impact be miscalculated?

In this episode, we explore what the role of the youth minister really is. What does it mean for them to meet the needs of the family's in our churches? How do parents and ministers optimize their partnership? What does it look like to make a meaningful investment in the lives of teens?

Today on the Postscript, Brandon Briscoe, Provost of Living Faith Bible Institute has invited Jeff Grasher, youth pastor and youth ministry instructor at LFBI to discuss what a healthy partnership between parents and a church's youth ministry could look like in light of Scripture.

We hear how God called Jeff Grasher to lead youth. His new role came with challenges like counseling, envisioning, and empowering young believers.
