Youth Ministry Tip #7: Instead of asking your students what they learned, ask them what questions they have about what you taught.
Youth Ministry Tip #7: Instead of asking your students what they learned, ask them what questions they have about what you taught.
How many times have you stood before teenagers and ask them what they learned last week or what they remember? Probably more than you should have. Usually you get the blank look of “was I supposed to remember something…” Well, I really want to encourage you to think differently on how you teach students. If you can instead of feeding them information and hoping they remember start teaching them on how to ask the right questions. Everytime you feel tempted to ask the age ol’ youth ministry question of, “What did you learn last week?” STOP! Instead ask your students, “what questions do you have from last week?” Then ask, “What questions do you have about God or Life?” Use this as a great way to get your students to walk away from a youth meeting with more questions. If you students leave with only answers they will lose their curiosity to learn. Feed them questions more than you feed them answers and then teach them how to find the answers in the Word of God.
