Special Podcast: Interview with Mark Hart about His New Book “Finding Yourself in Scripture”
Earlier this week I sat down with our own Mark Hart to talk about Life Teen’s new book called Finding Yourself in Scripture. This is an exciting new book that will help young people better relate to individuals in the Bible. In the book Mark tells the stories of the Bible’s babysitters and rock stars, kings and queens, daydreamers and warriors, heroes and angels. This is good stuff!
A Catholic Youth Ministry “Gut Check”
At one time or another we all have moments that are gut checks! Gut checks are a test of one’s nerve, courage, or determination. In Catholic youth ministry it is good to do a quick “Gut Check” of how we are approaching our role as youth minister.

Comprehensive
Youth Ministry
Renewing the Vision: A Framework for Catholic Youth Ministry sets forth three goals and eight components for comprehensive youth ministry. Life Teen, as a parish-based youth ministry model, fulfills all eight components through a sacramental sprituality, resources, training, and direct parish support. Our mission is very simple: to lead teens closer to Christ.
Systematic
Catechesis
Life Teen has created a systematic and engaging curriculum that follows the USCCB's framework for high school catechesis.
