Most adults who are trying to pour into young people do it in one of two ways: Expertise or relationships. That means you either are giving them advice and teaching them as an expert or experienced person in a certain field (sports, medicine, prayer, cooking, car care). Or you are just hanging out with them to build the friendship and be a part of their life. But the five elements are opportunities to build what the study from Springtide Research calls Relational Authority: (1) Listening, (2) Transparency, (3) Integrity, (4) Care, and (5) Expertise.

The power of one-on-one moments. We are big advocates of small groups, but there are moments that are even more personal. We need to leverage those moments. Some one-on-one moments happen naturally. Others you create. They are all important. As much as you try to personalize the group and use everyone’s name and remember things about each teen, it’s these one-on-one moments that they will remember most.
