Northwest Christian School in Phoenix, Arizona is pleased to present "Kingdom Culture Conversations" as part of Frameworks, a Biblical worldview initiative launched by the school. Northwest Christian uses God's word to address the issues that are confounding the culture in which our students are living: gender, race, the sanctity of life, sexuality, and more. Within each episode, recognized experts on these issues discuss the ramifications of holding to a Christian worldview during a time of cultural upheaval and work to equip students to understand and address the issues.

John Spooner, Youth Pastor, Pure Heart Church: Counting Down the Top Ministry Trends within 2025 through the Lens of Youth Ministry (Part One)

March 03, 2025 • Frameworks, a Biblical worldview initiative from Northwest Christian School

Lifeway Research, the marketing and data arm of Lifeway Publishers, has just published what they have identified as the top trends - both good and bad - in ministry within 2025.

The list is very interesting but it becomes even more interesting when we consider it through the eyes of one of the valley's most dominant youth pastors, John Spooner from Pure Heart Church. John, who married Samantha, a NCS alum, is spearheading both Junior High and Senior High at a church that works exceptionally hard to speak to the needs of those experiencing brokenness.
