There’s so much that can be said about how to teach the Bible with depth and clarity, it’s almost as if we could build an entire podcast around it! That’s why we’ve invited Kyle Hoffsmith from “The Word in Youth Ministry” to share some of the best preaching and teaching advice that he’s heard.
- When you were new to youth ministry, could you tell us about a crash-and-burn situation that stands out to you?
- What’s some good advice you got early on in your ministry that’s served you well?
- Who are some of preachers you've listened to throughout your ministry and what have you taken away from them?
- The Word in Youth Ministry podcast has been around for about three years now. That’s a lot of guests and a lot of conversations. Are there any pieces of wisdom that really stand out to you from all those conversations?
- If you could offer advice to young youth leaders who don’t have any formal training but want to teach the Bible, what advice would you give?
- What's the advice you’ve received that’s specifically about delivery?
Kyle Hoffsmith is the Pastor of Family Ministries at Old North Church in Canfield, OH. He’s also the host of The Word in Youth Ministry, a CPYU podcast and a longtime friend of YPT.
