Welcome to the Kickstart

At TENx10, we believe that relational discipleship radically focused on Jesus has the power to make faith matter more in the lives of 10 million young people over the next 10 years. But if you're wondering, "Where do I even begin?" you're not alone. Start right here with a quick introduction from Lisette and Shane, and discover how you can make a lasting impact—one relationship at a time.

Step 0: Introduction to the Kickstart

You likely already feel it, but we’ll go ahead and say it: Our good work in youth ministry isn’t good enough. While each of us is well-intentioned and fueled by a desire to see young people thrive, most of us inadvertently prioritize programs over people. Programs aren’t inherently bad, but they don’t build lasting faith.
