YPT is where Theology
and Youth Ministry meet

Youth Pastor Theologian is equipping youth workers around the world to disciple the next generation of Christians. That’ll require more than doctrinal instruction… but certainly not less! Our blog publishes regular content (usually Wednesday and Friday) and the podcast delivers a weekly conversation (usually on Tuesdays) to help you build on a solid foundation.

All subscribers receive YPT’s new blog content delivered directly to your inbox.
We’ll also send you a link to download our ebook, Youth Ministry is Theological Ministry.
Make sure to subscribe to the podcast on your favorite podcasting platform.
