Foster Parenting and Youth Ministry, Kenda Creasy Dean and Justin Forbes – Video and Discussion Outline
Dr. Kenda Creasy Dean and Justin Forbes discuss foster parenting and how it relates to youth ministry.
Questions for Discussion:
What does it mean to us when we don’t achieve the results we hope for in parenting, and in youth ministry? How is that work still faithful, and what does that look like in our context?
What does it mean to really meet youth where they are, especially when there is no expectation that anything will get better in this particular life circumstance?
What does it mean to do foster care to Jesus? How are we ministering to Christ in this kind of work, and how are we invited into a deeper awareness of church as we do this work?
