A Space Prepared is designed to empower and equip youth leaders, educators, pastors, and camp counselors with prayerful, practical youth ministry tools. In the Youth Ministry Unlocked series, we'll cover: teaching the Bible to teenagers, cultivating a worship culture, praying for your students, how to develop games, retreats, and camps, and so much more! That starts right here — as we prepare ourselves and our spaces in the presence of God.Praise for A Space Prepared"In A Space Prepared, Hannah invites ministry leaders to take a breath and return their focus to the work of God’s Spirit in and through them. Hannah has laid a lavish feast upon the table. Welcome, weary ones. Strengthen your hearts, despondent ones. Receive the strength of camaraderie for the journey. Wonder, marvel, behold the vastness of God’s love for you, and find fresh inspiration to share that love with those you lead." — Lindsey Ponder, Bible Project Podcast Producer"It’s rare to come across books on youth ministry that offer such robust insight, depth, and theological vigor while remaining ruthlessly practical. Hannah’s done it with this book! I’d recommend this work to anyone who is willing to live what is offered in these pages." — Jarin Oda, Bridgetown Church Pastor of Students (Former)"A Space Prepared is a love letter to youth leaders. It is easy to read, but deep in nature. It speaks to your soul more than it gives you a to do list. It paints a picture of where we’re going and provides us with ways to get there. It speaks to the places where ministry and self collide. It fine tunes your soul before you attempt to accomplish what it inspires you to do. Reading Hannah’s book is like sitting at the feet of an old soul as they weave stories of their wisdom and how they got their soul to rest in the midst of noisy ministry." — Kris Gray, Youth Pastor"A Space Prepared is a great book for youth pastors. So often we are looking for the next “thing” or how to grow a ministry or what to preach, the list could go on. I think the practical exercises and content of this book can truly, if you give into the process, reshape your ministry and bring you back to your first love." — Robby Winkler, Executive Pastor Read more
