Limitless Youth Ministry Podcast

If Jesus heart was disproportionately oriented towards anyone, it was consistently the most marginalised in society. And in today’s world, that can way too often mean those young people with neurodivergence and special educational needs. But if the gospel is for anyone, it’s for them!

That’s why we sat down with psychologist and experienced youth worker, Abz Adekeye, to discuss how to better engage the whole range of young peopl...

We’ve all heard the story: declining church attendance, particularly among younger generations, the rise of the “nones,”  and the seemingly unstoppable emergence of the secular age. We know that stats: 48% of churches in the UK have fewer than five under 16 year olds, 95% of young people in the UK don’t go to church etc etc. It all seems like bad news…. 😔

But…

Could the tide be turning? According to Justin Brierley, author o...

How do we share the gospel relevantly with the next generation, without changing the message?

This is the great challenge the church must continually wrestle with, learning to communicate timeless truths in captivating ways. But… that’s easier said than done, right!? 😅

Research into the ‘signs of the times’ can be incredibly helpful as we consider how adapt our outreach as culture shifts. And that’s why Dave Newton, National Direct...

A new year brings many gifts, but perhaps none great than a new series of the Limitless Youth Ministry Podcast! 🙌

To accompany our counter-culture theme, in 2025 we're going to be taking a deep dive into what's going on in youth culture right now. This new series is called 'Trending,' starting with a bumper chat with Beth and Hannah from Youth for Christ.👌

We come to the conclusion of our 12-month deep dive into prayer, and believe us when we say, we finish on a high! 🙌

In this episode, we’re joined by our friend Pippa Baker from One Hope Project to discuss Contemplative Prayer. And if you’re not sure what that is, or it’s not a regular practice for you, then this episode will be an incredible gift in your life with God! 😇

We go deep in this conversation, in which we discuss… 

✅ ...

The Scripture is explicit in its instruction to ‘eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy’ (1 Cor. 14:1). It also tells us that ‘you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged’ (1 Corinthians 14:31). But for most of us, that’s more of a theological concept than an every day reality! 😅  

That’s why we sat down for a chat with Helen Azer from Heartcry for Change, to take a deep dive in...

We’ve all been there. That moment when you invite young people to pray and all that follows is an awkward silence and a single tumbleweed! 😅 So what can we do to equip young people for a vibrant life of prayer? 🤔

We sat down with Martin Saunders, author of Signal Fire: A Guide to Putting Prayer into Practice, to ask just that.👌

We cover a lot of ground in this conversation, including…

… our natural instinct to pra...

“It’s impossible to really grow in vitality in my walk with God, without the element of fasting.” - James Aladiran

Fasting is one of the most overlooked, under-practiced, yet spiritually potent and indispensable disciplines of the spiritual life. So what happened? 🤷‍♂️ How did this practice, once so central in the life of Jesus and his followers, get sidelined in his church? And what is the power of fasting in our lives and ...

Prayer is meant to be a dialogue rather than a monologue. 🗣 But for so many of us, that’s more in theory than in practice! 😬 So how do we hear from God and help our young people to do the same? 

We sat down with Tania Harris, Director of God Conversations, a global ministry that equips people to recognise and respond to God’s voice, to explore just that. 👌

Tania drops so much wisdom for us here as we discuss…

What do prayer and evangelism have in common? More than just the fact we know they’re important and should probably be doing them more than we are! 😅

In this episode, we chat with Laura Hancock about how prayer that doesn’t lead to evangelism can become spiritual narcissism, how evangelism without prayer is powerless, but how marrying the two together is a spiritually potent combination! 🔥
