Have you ever stopped to ask, “Why do we play games at youth group?” Some youth workers treat games like something you need to do in order to persuade students to show up. Others shun games as shallow expressions of immaturity. Most of us play games at youth group because that’s simply what you do… but there’s a better and more intentional way to think about the place of fun and games in student ministry. One of forty-two offerings available on Rooted Reservoir, this video presents a framework for games to reinforce a culture of grace that tears down the walls between students, in order that the gospel would shine forth in every facet of your ministry.
