I had the pleasure this week to sit down with Darrell Pearson, Associate Professor of Youth Ministries at Eastern University; we had a wonderful discussion about some of the keys to developing a healthy youth ministry internship program. Darrell felt that a healthy church “is a church that is looking to help a student not looking for a student, to solve their problem”. He also has experienced many churches that have unrealistic expectations for student interns often expecting them to run the church’s youth ministry. I hope you enjoy the interview.
