Chris is the author of "Bags: Helping Your Kids Lighten the Load," has been in youth ministry for decades, and also works with Ministry Architects helping churches achieve their ministry goals. Chris has a passion to equip and encourage parents to lead their families in faith. His focus in youth ministry takes a unique view: he focused on helping parents as his target. He still meets with teens every week, but his goal is to equip the parents since they really spend more time with the teens. He shares what he's learned over years of doing this, and you can start to apply it to your ministry!
