By you writing a post for our blog, we can do three very important things:
1. We can provide youth and youth leaders with high-quality training content year-round.
2. We can provide a platform to expand your ministry reach to readers around the world.

· Churches that are healthy have a strong sense of biblical value for faith in the practice of church and personal life. The Bible is real and relevant in the life of the leaders, so it is taught as well as caught from one another.
· Unhealthy churches tend to have a weak sense of biblical worth and see faith as just personal, not practiced in the life of the church. The Bible is seen as unrelated to church leadership and thus they seek substitutes from non-biblical or psychological/cultural sources.
