YPT Podcast Episode 32: Faithful Youth Ministry in Ireland (Philomena Fitzpatrick)
There’s so much for international youth workers to learn from one another. We share more in common than what’s different. Relational evangelism and discipleship are foundational for effective student ministry, regardless of our latitude and longitude.
What is the religious climate of Ireland like, and how do you identify cultural Christianity from genuine gospel-faith?
What is youth ministry like in Ireland and what are some common attitudes that teenagers have about religion and Christianity?
What does relational ministry and spending time with youth look like in real life? And while prioritizing that, how do you keep yourself from just being an adult-friend?
Philomena Fitzpatrick is the youth worker at Ballycollin Community Church in West Dublin at the foot of the Dublin Mountains. She ministers to children through young adults.
