Youth Ministry Institute

Dr. James K.A. Smith and Dr. Kyle David Bennett discuss Bennett’s book, “Practices of Love” and how it applies to youth workers.

Questions for Discussion:

1. How is Bennett reframing what we might think of as “spiritual practices,” specifically how it might relate to our youth?
2. Is silence scary for you, particularly practicing silence with youth? What might be done with silence?
3. How might we pause as we engage with our youth? What might a sacred pause look like as we work with these young people, or as we plan our programming?
