1. Make it bible centered (less of your own stories)
2. Make it passionate (be excited)
3. Make it real (stop faking)
4. Make it practical
5. Be honest, period. (Be more concerned about being honest then being liked)

Loved all of these!!! Thank you for sharing!!

First and foremost, I just wanna say thank you. This is my first year as youth leader at my church and the youth that I work with, although they are a few, it’s difficult to get their attention. There are days where I give the message God‘s given me and they’ll listen for about five minutes then completely get distracted, there are days where they don’t listen at all and to be completely honest it’s very discouraging sometimes. However, I don’t let that hold me back from telling the truth like you said. There are some days where I don’t know what to teach because I’m too focused on them getting distracted and of course I don’t want that to happen, but like you said the important point here is to get the truth across to them. I know that the word says that the word of God doesn’t come back empty once it’s been given, and I trust God with my life that he’s doing the work in the youth. Thank you for this video because it’s really helped me regain my ground again because I didn’t know what to study for today’s Bible study and a lot of the time it really bothers me when I don’t know what to teach. Thankfully, the Lord gave me clarity and I’m gonna start studying now. Once again, thank you so much this really helped. May God bless you greatly. God bless your ministry, your family and your church and everyone in it. ❤️

Not going to lie, I instantly felt convicted when you stated to keep it Bible centered, not “you” centered. I’ve never done so to puff myself up or boast, but to share what the Lord has helped me through. Your right! Jesus doesn’t ask you to tell them about what He’s done for “you”, but to tell them what Jesus can do for them and the cost He paid to get us here. Amen brother. Amen. ⚔️💞

I've made it my quest as a Youth Pastor to always tell the truth no matter the results. In love of course. Let those who have ears hear.

Good stuff. I've been giving Bible study at a local juvenile detention center for several months now. I love serving God in this assignment. I've been incarcerated as an adult. They really get interested when I make it real & be honest about my past. Keeping my lessons Christ & Bible center with a balance of my personal testimony & experience has been doing well. I love when they engage with questions and participate when I ask them questions. I plant and/or water but God gives the increase. Your points confirm I'm doing it right and encourage me to stay on course however the Holy Spirit leads me. 😇

Thank you Pst Addison!

I just got appointed as a Teens Church Leader, I'm trusting God to lead well.

Thank you sir.

[beaskoglund]

I love the ideas, advice! One thing I did when I taught confirmation at the end of our lesson and after discussing and talking about the lesson. I had them do word search of words that had to do with our lesson. The enthusiasm in their faces made it all worth it. After they were done I would have them pick one word they circled and tell me how does this affect you in your life of a Christian!

[ivykiarie]

That last point hit hard. I realized all the strategies I had were centered on being liked and fun rather than building a foundation based on truth. It's hard cause teens don't really hide their expressions so it's tempting to do things that make you "cool" in their eyes. Definitely going back to the drawing board. Thank you for this. God bless you.

What teens want to listen doesn't matter. But what god wants to tell it matters.

[davidstryhanyn]

Im passing my teen years very soon and ive always just wanted the truth and i believe my peers did as well thank you for making being honest a highlight

[TheKoryHelton]

This is absolutely amazing. I liked and subscribed! Thank you so so much!

I just recently said yes to my pastor and his wife that my husband and I would lead a small group for the older teens/young adults at our church (they had asked us specifically to lead it because we’re the youngest married couple I think). A little scared, but mostly excited about where this will lead us or how it will go.
These words really helped because my first thought was to tell them my testimony or the mistakes I made so that they do not do them, too. I am getting really excited to hear what God leads us to teach them. 😁

I've been a youth pastor for about 5 months now, so still very new in how to preach to teenagers. These steps really helped me. Thank you so much Bro. Smith!

[evececely]

Thank you for this i was wondering how am giong to handle preteens tomorrow. God led me here.

[warrioroftruth]

Man, this was some super helpful advice, God bless you and your family, needed this man, about few weeks ago I briefly gave my daughters bibles and mention that I would like to shared time with them in the Bible. I haven't started yet, but I plan to do so soon, so I've been praying about it.

[CammieMay]

Thanks SO much for this powerful message. This is EXCELLENT advice for adult sermons too! We need to light God's fire in everyone if possible! 🔥🙏

[cutee]

I'm handling youth and this means a lot. I pray I can teach them well. Thanks

[sergiogarcia]

You're absolutely right brother thanks for the tools and encouragement, all points are great and that last point is very powerful because is the Truth of who Jesus is, when you see them return after a hard message, you earn their trust, they start trusting the Lord, and most important get saved. Priceless but very rewarding because they see someone cared about their soul. Praise be to the Lord alone!

God bless
