In this episode of the Just God Pod, we’re joined by Dylan Grace—a graduate of Battlefield High School and current dedicated YoungLife leader and student at James Madison University—who shares what it looks like to live a life surrendered to God and committed to serving others.

As a YoungLife leader, Dylan spends countless hours investing in the lives of high school students, walking with them through real-life struggles, and pointing them to the hope found in Jesus. But his ministry doesn’t stop there—on the campus of JMU, Dylan is a light in his community, living out his faith in everyday conversations, relationships, and moments of quiet obedience.

He opens up about the challenges and joys of leading while still growing himself, and how God has continually shown up—faithful, present, and personal through it all. This is a story about service, purpose, and what happens when you say “yes” to God, even when it’s hard.

Whether you’re in ministry, in college, or just trying to live intentionally in your season, Dylan’s story will encourage you to show up where you are and trust that God is working through it.

Dylan’s verse(s) of the week comes from 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 which says “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
