Relationships Unfiltered

Focusing on the importance of authentic relationships in youth ministry, this book critiques the tendency to use connections as tools for influence rather than genuine engagement. Andrew Root emphasizes the need for adults to simply be present in teenagers' lives without ulterior motives, advocating for a model of place-sharing. Through personal anecdotes and practical insights, he encourages youth leaders, volunteers, and parents to rethink their approach and prioritize loving support over agenda-driven interactions, ultimately aiming to foster more meaningful connections.
