Creating a student talk show
Recently we launched a new website or micro-site called whatisyourproblem.tv. The idea came to us when a couple of our students were creating videos on facebook and were really getting some attention. We got to thinking that maybe there is some stock in their idea and maybe the church or in our case the youth ministry could support their efforts and help them produce the show at a higher level. We spent the last several months figuring out details and this past month we have been developing different episodes and creating the website. The website was actually fairly easy to create using a wordpress template from themeforest. Once we created the website, facebook fan page and youtube site we were ready to go. Creating fun sites like these can be great avenues for students to share with their non-christian friends as a vehicle to starting spiritual conversations, becoming familiar with a youth ministry and going to students instead of expecting them to come to us. This is still a pretty big experiment, however giving students opportunities to take ownership and lead is always an experiment worth taking.
