Kingdom Culture Conversations
You were created on purpose. You have a purpose. You are not biochemical happenstance. Rather, you are Imago Dei, created in God's image and likeness to be Kingdom Come in a world that is in desperate need of His Son!
For the Summer of 2026, as part of our annual Crusaders Charge into Summer Reading campaign, we are exploring this theme, using the book "Consider the Cost" by creationist Russ Miller, to spur these conversations. It's going to be a fun summer as we converse with recognized though leaders in young Earth creationism, theistic evolution, geocentricity, flat Earth, and many other perspectives! Where does Northwest Christian land on this? Where will you land?
Northwest Christian School in Phoenix, Arizona is pleased to present "Kingdom Culture Conversations", a podcast committed to exploring the issues that shape culture from the perspective of a Biblical worldview. Through enlightening and interesting topical conversations, you will hear diverse perspectives that inform our prayers as we pray "Thy Kingdom Come"...

Danny Trueblood, Youth Pastor, CCV North Phoenix: Recognizing and Remedying Declining Participation in Youth Group Ministry
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In the post-pandemic world, the numbers tell us clearly that youth are at risk. Teen suicide and the frequency of mental health diagnoses are at a historic high.
Yet, just when youth need it most, their participation within local church youth ministry is in decline.
National polls of Evangelical Christian teens find young people reporting that 69% are saying that they attended youth group at age 17. But, that number is cut in half before they graduate high school at age 18.
Could these two alarming trends be connected?
Uh, duh.
In today's Kingdom Culture Conversation, G is joined by Northwest Christian alumni Danny Trueblood who leads the thriving youth ministry at CCV North Phoenix. Together, they wrestle with the top reasons that participation is declining and what can be done to stem the tide of the resulting cultural ills.
