About this listen

In Jesus Was A Youth Leader, Matthew Arrowood explores the unconventional path Jesus chose during His ministry. Rather than becoming an earthly king, scholar, or Pharisee, Jesus dedicated three and a half years to teaching and mentoring 12 young men. Arrowood argues that Jesus took on the unexpected role of a rabbi and teacher—a position that, even today, might not be highly regarded within the church. Contrary to traditional portrayals, Arrowood suggests that Jesus was not leading seasoned men or elders but was instead the mentor of a group of teenagers, better yet, that Jesus was a youth leader.

Jesus Was a Youth Leader by Matthew Arrowood completely changed the way I view youth ministry. The book presents a compelling argument that Jesus didn’t just tolerate young people—He chose them, discipled them, and entrusted them with the future of the church. Arrowood backs up his insights with Scripture, historical context, and practical application.

I walked away not only inspired but also challenged to re-think how we engage the next generation in ministry. This is a must-read for parents, pastors, and anyone working with youth. It’s fresh, thought-provoking, and deeply encouraging. Highly recommend!

Eye Opening and Inspiring!

“Jesus Was a Youth Leader” by Matthew Arrowood is a refreshing and thought-provoking exploration of Jesus’ ministry through a perspective we don’t often consider. Rather than focusing on His role as a teacher of elders or a revolutionary leader, Arrowood dives into Jesus’ deliberate choice to mentor a group of young men—a concept that might challenge traditional views of leadership in the church.

What made the book especially impactful for me was the author’s narration. You can feel Arrowood’s deep passion for the subject in every word, which brings his arguments and insights to life. His conviction about Jesus as a youth leader resonated with me deeply, inspiring me to reflect on how I approach mentorship and discipleship in my own life.

This book left me both inspired and convicted. Arrowood’s unique perspective reminded me that leadership, no matter how humble or unconventional, can create a lasting impact. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to understand Jesus’ ministry in a new light or to find encouragement in their own roles as leaders and mentors.

Insightful, passionate, convicting…
