Looking for how to improve your ministry with young adults? Dr. B. Kevin Smalls gives a quick rundown on three basic ingredients required for a quality young adult gathering:

1. Enlightenment. Share one enlightening piece of information about the Bible or our faith that has them saying "wow" or "I never thought of that before."
2. Agitation. Raise something controversial to get them to think and an opportunity to define their position.
3. Fun. Allow fun to set the tone--don't micromanage it or seek to squash it. But remember, without enlightenment and agitation it is just a group of people hanging out!
