THE BE WITH FACTOR by Bo Boshers

 

You want to make a huge, lasting difference in the lives of students, right? The Be-With Factor is a powerful, practical, and sustainable mentoring approach that does just that. It’s patterned after Jesus’ example of being with his disciples in a variety of real-life settings. It’s not another program, but it’s about reaching a generation by focusing on a few and doing life with them. Amazing things happen when you spend time with a student purposefully and intentionally—running an errand together, going to the store, grabbing lunch, letting ministry happen naturally. The impact of your faith, shown in everyday life, will transform students’ lives—and the impact on one student has the potential to reach a whole generation. Being with not only works, it’s Jesus’ way. Set forth in careful detail by two veteran leaders who live it, the Be-With factor isn’t an add-on—it’s the very heart of youth ministry. This book will help train and equip you, and once you adopt the Be-With lifestyle, it will revitalize your passion to make an eternal difference in students’ lives.

 

 

 

 

THE BE WITH FACTOR STUDENT GUIDE by Bo Boshers

 

Having the right person in a young person’s life can make a huge difference. Jesus knew that, so he spent time with his young disciples, talking with them, listening to them, having fun with them— being with them in everyday life. Imagine students in your ministry having wise, caring mentors in their lives. They can! Jesus’ model of how to transform lives is needed today more than ever before. This generation needs to discover how real faith plays out in the real world. Six important, thought-provoking sessions help junior high and high school students consider how God shows he is real, what he really wants from his followers, what his purposes are for their lives, why it matters what they believe, how he keeps them strong when life is hard, and the kind of people he wants in their lives. This student guide is supported by coaching and leader’s notes in the book The Be-With Factor, but it can also be used alone. These questions help you initiate some of the most rewarding and genuinely life-changing moments you and a student will ever experience.
