BONUS Episode: Staff Meeting

A lot of times when we get into ministry, we place the pressure on ourselves to be the ones who make the change, who bring about something new. When, in fact, if we just remembered that God is about that work of doing something new already, then we get to actually watch what's emerging through the Holy Spirit's work and in a context. -Rev. Abigail Visco Rusert Part One— The Gathering (0:00-2:22) Host Megan DeWald invites her colleagues at the Institute for Youth Ministry, the Rev. Abigail Visco ...

Still Abiding

We were on a path that we thought we knew how to do, and we needed to have that pushed so far aside that there really was room for the Holy Spirit to come in and do something new. And that's what wound up happening! Even what we're doing now is nothing of the pieces that we put down on paper in that process and everything of the spirit of it. -Rev. Meredith Keseley Part One— Rockin' the Suburbs (0:00-4:36) Host Megan DeWald sets the stage for understanding the context in which Abiding Presence L...

Viva la Iglesia!

If we want to keep the dignity of a person, it's not just giving them handouts, it's empowering them to do something good for themselves and for the community. So that's where we're kind of leaning towards— empowering youth to see and to understand this new world that their parents have brought them in. And then to have those young people influence more young people. -Rev. Eliseo Morales Part One— Movement (0:00-4:19) Host Megan DeWald sets the stage for understanding the context in which Espera...

The Church at the Hospital

To try and try again and reiterate and pivot and invest in something like the Log College Project—that shows so much faith in this idea that relationships and faith and young people matter to the congregation. And if that's not God building something in the community, I don't know what is. -Kelsey Lambright Part One— From Tragedy to Transformation (0:00-5:04) Host Megan DeWald sets the stage for understanding the context in which Calvary Episcopal Church in Rochester, Minnesota is developing a n...

Central Avenue, Middletown

I think that was really liberating, the first time that we heard from the voice of Princeton that 'we expect you to fail, and it's okay! And we will learn from that failure, and "fail forward" is a thing'... And so to really benefit from the innovation process or the design process, you have to embrace that value, or it doesn't work. -Lisa Kaufer Part One— More Than a Single Story (0:00-5:07) Host Megan DeWald sets the stage for understanding the context in which the First Presbyterian Church of...

Coppin is Poppin'

And in his application, he proceeded to explain that, while we don't have young people or teenagers as part of our membership, or their parents necessarily being a large part of our membership, our young people are the young people in the community, and they are fully our young people. -Carmelle Beaugelin Part One— The South Side (0:00-4:02) Host Megan DeWald sets the stage for understanding the context in which Coppin Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Church is developing a new form of youth...

Everything Is Youth Ministry

It's really interesting to me that this project that William Tennant did with young people, to me, it's youth ministry. To me, Princeton Theological Seminary’s founding was a youth ministry project. And so, I thought, ‘okay, if we're supposed to do something, that's in line with our mission, vision, and values, why not go back to our founding?’ Arguably, our founding was via youth ministry. Let’s lean into that. -Rev. Abigail Visco Rusert Part One— Introducing: Disrupting Ministry (0:00-6:36) Ho...
