Formula vs. Formation

After spending the last few days focused on what it takes to create a transformational youth ministry, I am convinced that we must shift our focus from the word formula to formation. It's not about finding the right formula first, rather, it's about student ministry pastors being committed to spiritual formation first. Colossians 1:28 "Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ." (ESV)

If we start with the word formation our formulas might look different. What are you presenting to the world the day the students from your ministry graduate?

what is up...I have a story for you. Love to share it sometime. Just think about the number 7000, what number are you asking God for in your ministry?
