Learn how you can double up on events and make it a win for your ministry!

Doug and Josh discuss how you can use planned absences as a way to develop others into better leaders.

Josh jumped on zoom with Shane Sanchez to talk youth ministry and his new book, How to See God: A Four Week Guide for Teenagers. How to See God is a four-week devotional guide for teenagers that helps them develop the skill of looking for God's Spirit at work in their everyday world. Through the fruit of the Spirit, they can begin to see what God is like and how God's Spirit shows up in themselves and in the people around them. Shane is the director of High School Content at Orange Curriculum.
