First on the blog today is a helpful article from Trevin Wax, managing editor for The Gospel Project. I’m someone who likes a good chart and in this article he provides an excellent one on how counterfeit gospels distort the biblical gospel in three distinct areas. This is something that you could use to train your adult volunteers, and even teach students in a discipleship setting. Check it out here:

The second “What to Read Wednesday” recommendation for you is a book that we just finished reading as a leadership team here at Lifeway Students. It is called “The Leadership Engine” and is written by Noel M. Tichy. It is written toward a corporate audience, but has loads of application for what you do as a student pastor in the realm of team building and leadership development. The more effective you are in these two areas of ministry, the more effective you will be in reaching students. This one is worth the read for you. Find it here:

The final one for you today is an interview from Thriving Family magazine with Josh and Sean McDowell. Both are well known Christian apologists and have been involved in shaping student ministry apologetics for years. This specific article focuses on the topic of kids questioning their faith. Not only is this a good read for you, but is something that you could send out to the parents of your ministry. Here’s the link:
