When is the last time you asked your young adults (ages 18-35) what they are dealing with and what questions they might have? I took the time to ask about 40 young adults from 3 different churches what topics they would want to discuss with their church leaders.
In this episode I list 10 of the most common themes that arose and how pastors and church leaders can use these topics to start Bible studies, sermon series or forums with these young students, professionals and families. A few topics on the list include:
* Sex outside of marriage
* Knowing your purpose
* Forgiveness

The church has often used the arts to minister to people. Music, dance, dramatic presentations are all tools at our fingertips. How does one do this effectively?

Danielle Gulley is the owner of Perpetual Innovations Entertainment LLC Entertainment and produces plays, productions, even a children’s online show. All while serving as the worship leader at her church.

She blessed us as a panelist way back in episode 23 but she’s back for episode 63 of Church Unfiltered Podcast as she discusses “Ministry Through Entertainment”.
