Youth Group Lessons: Great teachers are leaving positions not because of troublesome students, but because of “helicopter parents” who refuse to believe their children could do wrong and are ready to swoop in when they do, to rescue them from any consequences.

Youth Ministry Lessons: Private jets, huge events and lavish shopping trips are all designed to create an image of opulence and luxury for the stars of popular reality shows. However what you see on TV is often times not “reality” at all.

Youth Group Lessons: In a recently released poll, people were asked what was the rudest city. Not surprising to some, New York City was near the top, but one man is on a mission to change that perception!

Youth Group Lessons: It would appear that humans aren’t the only species with a liking for alcohol. Recently a moose in Sweden was found hanging in an apple tree, drunk from the fermented apples he couldn’t stay away from.

Youth Ministry Lessons: A non-profit group is asking Christian men and women all over the world to consider “Bible Poverty”. According to the group Bible Poverty is the fact that over 340 million are without Scripture in their native tongue.
