133: Captivating Students' Attention When Teaching with Mike Haynes
Tuesday May 28, 2024
Tuesday May 28, 2024
We've all been there... You're teaching a group of teenagers, but one or more of them aren't paying attention. Frustrating, right? So how do we teach in a way that draws teenagers in and encourages them to engage rather than being distracted by their friends' phones or more. On this episode of Student Ministry Connection, Steve is joined by Mike Haynes to discuss how to captivate students' attention and keep it throughout your talk.
