This kind of focus, one in which we invest deeply into each others lives, is necessary for the future of youth ministry, the way we grow together, and the way God uses us.<br \/>\nPlease come and be a part of the conversation!\u00a0 Each blog post welcomes comments and discussion.\u00a0 Your opinion and experience is valuable!\u00a0 Join us at <a title=\"Relational Youth Ministry\" href=\"http:\/\/relationalyouthministry.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">RelationalYouthMinistry.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/ywupdate?moderation_action=report_form&#038;object_type=post&#038;object_id=159&#038;width=250&#038;height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by: Tim Ciccone &#8211; High School Pastor &#8211; Kansas RelationalYouthMinistry.com is a website\/blog dedicated to navigating youth ministry better.
