You are so much more than what you do, so take a break. Create boundaries so that you can keep going. Our guest, George Moss, has a lot of responsibility, like most of us, and that is why we asked him to sit with us to share his insights in managing the tensions in his world.

We want you to be connected with someone else in youth ministry. We want you to stay in youth ministry.

We know that youth workers are over-worked, under-valued, and tired. We want you to have a place that you are appreciated, understood, and cared for now.

We invited our friends to sit with us over the next two episodes to discuss why being in a network or relationship with other youth leaders is crucial to ministry.

Much love to our friends in ministry: Jessica Sanchez, Will Cumby, Matt Swigart, and Zac Workun!

Doubt is present in all areas of our life. Most of us were taught if we doubted God at any point, our faith was in question. 

What do you do when you doubt? Where do you go with that doubt? 

Jonny speaks about how he has navigated his time of doubt and how he encourages us to handle it as well.

You need coaching; always. Your leadership can continue to grow no matter how long you have been in ministry. You will be better, your volunteers will be better, your students will receive the best because of it.

As the African proverb tells us, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

We are meant for relationships. We thrive in community with others. This holds true in our vocations as well. Being coached/mentored in ministry will be the best investment you can make. 

Carrie Brooks joins us to share her experience and insights from being coached and coaching others.
