Brandon Riley joined us today to talk about unleashing student artists in our ministries. Youth leaders who are not artistically inclined themselves tend to overlook artistic students in their ministry, so Brandon shared some ideas how we can get them involved and encourage them to use their gifts for enhancing the body of Christ.
Some of the things we talked about:
- How to spot artistic teens in your group
- Ways to help them start using their artistic abilities in ministry
- Tools that could help with the process
- Tips for shooting and editing video and photography
- And a lot more…

I really wish that I could have participated in this discussion. We incorporate a lot of our students in video production in our ministry. They are the stars of our weekly video announcements (a la news broadcast), they created their own tv show centered around our "no purple"rule (designed to help curb unnecessary pda), and have taken part in several other video productions for/with us.
