You probably know by now that I love to inspire and equip teenagers to share their faith. I could train them all day long for five days straight if I could and, even then, I’d just be getting started. There’s just something about training crowds of loud teenagers to share their faith that gets my juices flowing.

But if there’s one thing I love more than training thousands of teens (after God, my wife, and kids – of course) is training a room full of Youth Leaders. As a matter of fact if you gave me the choice of training 5,000 teenagers or 500 youth leaders I’d pick the youth leaders every time. Why? Because youth leaders are field generals that are going to actually go back and “get ‘er done” when it comes to implementing long term change in the lives of their teenagers. The only chance for substantive transformation in youth ministry is systemic change of youth ministry. Youth leaders are the ones to lead the charge for this change on a local church level.

I’m especially fired up for the training we are offering youth leaders this summer and fall, The Ultimate Road Trip. Why am I so excited about this training? I’m glad you asked! (and if you didn’t, you should have).

We hosted our first round of these trainings in the Denver area this past May and I was blown away and humbled by the response of the Youth Leaders who attended. The feedback they gave us was that this training was a great balance of hands-on ministry application and personal spiritual encouragement. Praise God for how He used this training to bless Youth Leaders! Praise Him again for the local youth leaders and other staff members at Dare 2 Share who helped craft this material to be both powerful and practical!

We have 11 more trainings this summer and fall, including 3 additional trainings in the Denver region this August. CLICK HERE for the full schedule.

At The Ultimate Road Trip training we will take a look at how everything you do in youth ministry should drive toward a desired destination. Determining this destination is the single most important decision you will make when it comes to how to lead, structure and advance your youth ministry. The training is designed to provide you with the tools you need to prayerfully begin the process of determining a “GREAT” Destination for your youth group and a customized Road Trip Action Plan to get there.
Check out Dare 2 Share’s YouTube channel and watch a couple of sneak peek’s from The Ultimate Road Trip and you can also watch the promo video for this year’s un.tour!

Oh, did I mention that the training is free? Bring your whole network of fellow youth leaders or come by yourself but be there. You won’t want to miss this training. I wish somebody would have trained me in these principles twenty something years ago when I first got into ministry. These have been hard-fought lessons that God has taught me over the last two decades of ministry that I desperately want to pass onto you.

See you there!
