It’s no secret that boys and girls mature differently. That doesn’t only happen in terms of emotional maturity but also cognitively and spiritually. So, how does that shape the way we minister to the teen guys in our youth ministries?  Discussion Includes: Tell us a little about your book, Disciplemaking With Guys. Why did you write it and what’s the big idea of the book?  What are some developmental needs of guys that are easily overlooked?  When it comes to discipleship, what are some practical suggestions you have for youth workers who have guys attending youth group but they seem to be way more interested in sweaty games than they are in Jesus?  Could you talk a little about the influence of dads? Are there any recommendations for partnering with parents and family discipleship?  When youth workers are teaching guys and girls together, what advice do you have for speaking to both audiences without making either feel overlooked?  Dr. Jonathan Denton has been serving in student ministry for over 20 years and is an Assistant Professor of Christian Studies/Student Ministry at Charleston Southern University in South Carolina.  Dr. Denton’s books: Disciplemaking With Guys Ancient Text, Modern World: Building a God-Centered Worldview in a Me-Centered World Join YPT's Facebook group: @youththeologian (make sure you answer the membership questions) Follow YPT on Twitter: @youththeologian Follow YPT on Instagram: @youththeologian YPT's ebook, Youth Ministry is Theological Ministry, is a free download for subscribers. This book captures the essence of Youth Pastor Theologian in one ten-chapter book, written by six different contributors from across America, Mexico, and the UK.
