Welcome!
The Clique is a monthly publication, produced by The Awakening, with a single purpose: inviting student ministry workers to be on the inside of what’s hot in the spheres of media, culture, trends, and more! We know that many of our fellow co-laborers may not have the time or resources to follow closely the different shifts and turns of today’s fast moving world. Our desire is to provide a resource for you to help keep up! Every month you will find updated info divided into the sections you see below.
We would also like to give you the opportunity to contribute to The Clique for your voice to be heard among other leaders. If you would like to highlight something or have feedback on what we should include in our next issue, shoot us an email at theclique@goawakening.org.

If you are looking for a good Bible media platform, check outGlo Bible. The multiplatform sync capabilities, advanced tools and useful features make it one of the best study resources out there!
If you are looking for discipleship materials, consider Russell Board’s latest bookGrow. It is a valuable resource that gives a basic overview of Christian beliefs and practices. |
Pastor Steven Furtick started a series of quick Q&A tweets called #lateleader – He has some great insights and good ideas. Go to his handle:@stevenfurtick and scroll down the timeline. Totally worth it!
During the month of July, Pastor Herbert Cooper preached a series called “Confessions of a Pastor”. Very powerful and applicable to leaders of all ages! We highly recommend it! |
