Rachel and Lucy respond to a listeners email in regards to last week’s conversation and whether or not the church puts too much focus on discipleship and is missing out on helping young people flourish. Lucy also brings an Ask Us Anything to the table and Organised Fun is lost in translation…
This week Rachel and Lucy are joined by Robson Dodd, Senior Researcher at Youthscape’s Centre for Research. Together they dive into the UK Government’s independent review into mental health conditions, ADHD and autism - and what this might mean for us working with young people. The trio then reprioritise Organised Fun in which one of the team manages to slip in the extravagant use of the word ‘Ecuadorian’.
Rachel and Lucy chat through the government’s recent announcement of investing in 1000 more youth workers and the opportunities this might present for youth ministry. They also delve back into the role of grandparents in young people’s faith, before finishing off with a bizarre cacophony of sounds in this week’s Organised Fun.
Rachel, Martin and Lucy discuss the theme for this year’s NYMW, ‘With Great Power’, a listener asks whether we effectively equip young people to live a life of faith outside of church and Rachel attempts to redeem herself in Organised Fun.
This week we’re joined by Jeronne Rudder, founder of Uhambo and Youthscape trustee, to discuss why youth groups should engage with Black History Month. We also answer a question around how to engage with your own teenager’s school without embarrassing them. Then Martin introduces a new version of inspired Organised Fun which will test your memory!
