D Now- Don't Assume anything

As you plan your D Now weekend I do not want you to fall into the same trap that many student pastors do.  Many students pastors assume that the students in their youth group already know everything.  Many times we had learned various things about the bible and the Christian life at a very young age.  This could be because of our church or our family life.  But times are changing.  Students knowledge of scripture and of the what the Christian life is supposed to look like are not at the same level that it used to be.  Everyday I am amazed by the things that my students do not know.  So as you plan this event and choose your curriculum, do not be afraid of teaching your students the basics.  You can work the more advanced ideas in but do not skip over the necessary background knowledge because you assume all of your students already know it.
