Our second podcast series of 2023 was the Youth Leaders’ Crash Course, hosted by our Emerging Generations team, Andrew and Ashleigh.
The series aimed to give youth leaders (and others working with young people) a crash course in helping teenagers to engage with Christian teaching on sexuality and gender. Episodes explored youth culture, teaching the Bible, pastoral support, transgender, and mental health. The series also featured some interviews with special guests including Preston Sprinkle and Julie Maxwell.
We hope that youth teams might find this series useful to learn from together and so we’ve provided discussion questions to accompany each episode, along with recommended resources. These can be found on the Youth Leaders’ Crash Course page.
If you missed the series the first time around, you can find all the episodes on your usual podcast platform (including Spotify and Apple Podcasts) or via the links below.
And if you know someone who works with young people, this is a great series to share with them. (As well as pointing them to our Youth Leaders area and the Youth Leader Network).
