The Best of 2019

The Top Resources YOU Liked This Year
Jonathan McKee

As you look back at 2019, here’s the free resources and articles you won’t want to have missed from The Source for Youth Ministry AND The Source for Parents .com

I’m going to show you the “greatest hits” from three popular categories that youth leaders really seemed to resonate with: our free Music Discussions (because they not only provide discussions of current songs, but also small group questions, scripture and basically everything you need for youth group night… for free!), Youth Ministry Help articles (real help for real world youth ministry issues), and Parenting articles (simply because youth workers are constantly looking for quality help and advice they can give their students’ parents).

Here’s the top resources you liked this year:
