Youth Ministry is a forever changing field as the youth of today are ever changing with the times and culture. Those seeking to serve the young church, or those already serving them in this field, know that there is great work to be done! This show is all about the joys, and sometimes the difficult moments, of working in Youth Ministry! Each episode is filled with tips, advice and the real truth of serving and sharing in the building up of the kingdom! When you touch the hearts of the youth you touch their souls. And this show is all about touching hearts.
