Episode 169: Youth Ministry Inside and Outside the Church with Robert Purvey
In this episode, Robert Purvey talks about some of the ministries and strategies his church has used to impact youth and their families and schools. One of the immediate action steps he prompts is for churches to be present in the life of their local schools, with no strings attached, and leveraging the influence of students on these campuses.

Notes
Ways for students to be influential within weekend services:
- Media
