Our Theme, Standing on the Promises, challenges students to know, trust, and obey God’s Word. I wrote a Youth Bible Study on 2 Peter for our local county-wide Disciple Now. As a homeschooling mom of eight, I rely more and more on the wisdom of others, but I still like to use my own occasionally. Even with ever-expanding availably of resources, I still enjoy writing Bible studies for my own church youth and children when I’ve had the need and the time. I also have a passion for writing (finally started blogging to pursue this passion regularly). When I first began youth ministry, looking for resources meant a trip to the local Christian bookstore, but now most resources are easily accessible with online orders or instant downloads. One of my seminary professors encouraged us to use the many resources available and customize it for our group rather spending excess time and effort writing curriculum unless that is our calling or gift. Many times I have found wonderful curriculum available with all of the research, activities, and plans laid out in an easy format. I have been involved in volunteer and part-time youth ministry for over 20 years. One of my passions teaching youth the Bible.
