Ministry to students after confirmation (or baptism, depending on tradition) can pose some unique challenges. Bård Norheim shares about "post-confirmation leadership training" in Norway, a nationwide effort by churches to prioritize discipleship and to help youth cultivate enduring faith by finding their belonging in their church community.  What does youth ministry look like in Norway? What are some particular challenges teenagers in Norway are facing?  How does the Church of Norway (evangelical lutheran) currently lead youth through the confirmation process?  Could you share more about this post-confirmation leadership training?  What do you mean by “ambivalence” in youth, and how do you encourage youth leaders to respond?  What are some of the main lessons you’ve learned that you want to share with youth workers, not just in Norway but globally, about leading youth into Christian maturity?  Any good books or resources you’d like to point our listeners to about this topic?  Bård Norheim is professor of theology, religion and philosophy, NLA Bergen University College in Norway. He is also coauthor (with Jos de Kock) of The Five Questions: An Academic Handbook in Youth Ministry Research.
