Quiet groups are one thing, loud groups are another. Sometimes, they make you want to pull your hair out. At others, you're convinced those kids are going to be great leaders one day. In this video, Nick and Ben discuss how to channel the energy of your group into more intentional discussion and deeper relationship.

Let's be honest, sometimes teenagers are awkward... like running into that one person at a wedding. But how do we reach them - despite all that awkwardness? In today's video, Nick and Ben discuss exactly that.

Winter Weekend is this weekend! And we're not even talking about it. No, we are so forward thinking, that we're already onto camp! (JK we are terrified for this weekend). But anyways, enjoy this video on how awesome and incredible Summer Camp is going to be - assuming you survive the football talk. See ya!

In this week's episode, Nick and Ben share private text messages, segway perfectly between segments, and discuss the "so weird" descriptions of biblically accurate angels. It's a snow day, so be sure to check it out!

Wow. This might be the most derailed episode in Leader Podcast history, where we discuss the value and frequency of Leader Lunches. Apologies for our all-over-the-place-ness - hope y'all like that new term too!

It's Nick's turn! I think he cheated, but he's the boss, he makes the rules. Anyways, check out this insane ride of a Leader Podcast.

Also, we didn't upload last week! We got a week off, so we took it! Sorry there are so many references to December 29th! Ignore them!

Not read the handbook in a while? Might need to check that thing out... (don't worry, I haven't in a while either). BUT! If you're wanting a quick refresher or ever need to answer to a question, head to https://crosscreekstudents.com/leader and you can find everything you need to know. How do you access it? Well, Nick and Ben tackle just that.

Don't have the Lead App downloaded, or can't access it online? That's okay! Check out these links!
