When Students Leave w/ Scott Schimmel – 032 – CHSBT

What happens to students after they leave our school, our youth/college group, or our target ministry demographic? Are they still following Jesus? Are they able to make friends and find contentment? In this episode we talk with Scott Schimmel, the President of The YouSchool, and pick his brain for ministry advice that maximizes the positive long-term impact we have on our students. Learn how to facilitate relationships and transformations that last for years beyond the narrow age range of our schools and ministries.

In this episode we mention the following resources:

The YouSchool – Scott’s organization!

Hurt 2.0 – A book to help understand the current spiritual and emotional youth climate.

Evernote – An app to help you remember relatable moments with students.

Emotionally Healthy Spirituality – Scott’s top recommended resource to help you become a spiritual mentor that’s worth duplicating.

Where’d The Bible Come From? – 031 – CHSBT

The Bible is obviously important to most Christians, but how did we decide that THESE particular books are the canon or sacred scripture, and not others? In this episode with special guest Dr. John Meade, we uncover and discuss some interesting (maybe shocking) information about the formation of the Bible. If this book is a centerpiece of our education about and understanding of God, then we probably should know where it comes from. We discuss disputed books, gnostic gospels, apocryphal books, open canon, and differing early church canon lists.

We were honored to have a scholar in Biblical Textual Criticism and for those who want to dig deeper, you can get a copy of the Biblical Canon Lists on Amazon here or you can find more articles by Dr. John Meade at http://evangelicaltextualcriticism.blogspot.com/.

This is part two of a two-part episode in which we interview two female administrators about their leadership roles in Christian organizations.

In this episode, Wayne interviews administrator Jen Mounday on her experience, as they discuss views of female leadership, disparities between men and women in Church and other settings, universality of Spiritual gifts, and practical leadership advice for emerging female leaders in Christianity.
