While we are all called to develop the students that are within our program, we are also working to build our programs with new students from our community. How do we work with our current students, volunteers and church to understand that new “un-churched” people occasionally need an extra bit of grace and patience as they learn what it means to be a follower of Jesus?

Come join the conversation as Brent sits down with Melissa Stevenson, the Youth Pastor at First Methodist Church in Abilene, Texas, as they talk about extending patience and grace to new students, setting up expectations and holding them accountable through love for them.

We would also love to have you join the conversation if you would like to be on the show! Click here to fill out our guest form.
