Happy Thursday! In this week’s newsletter, we’re tackling a couple of tough topics—how to focus ministry efforts on the one who is lost rather than on the many who are already involved, and the benefits of having authentic accountability with a friend or mentor. Whether you’re a young adult or a young adult leader, you’ll benefit from both of these articles. And as always, don’t miss the other things happening on our site and around the Web. Focusing on the Tough One —Leadby Jim Johnston “As leaders of young adults in churches, many of us spend a majority of our time focused on numbers, not individuals,” says Threads director Jim Johnston in “Focusing on the Tough One.” Johnston continues, “I don’t believe that’s completely a Jesus-focused thought process. To be sure, He spoke truth to the masses, He fed them, and Scripture tells us He had pity on the multitudes. Yet, most of His ministry was focused on the individuals who were lost. He focused on them each day.” Get Real: Authentic accountability can change your life —Lifeby Jason Chatraw God never intended for us to live our lives in isolation. Whether your relationship with God is solid or shaky, everyone is a work in progress. Having authentic accountability with a trusted friend or mentor can foster a deeper, more genuine relationship with Christ through transparency and honesty with others, and that leads to transformation.
