In September of 2023, the team at Lifeway (including Amanda!) went to Israel with Kristi McLelland to record video teachings for her upcoming women's and teen girls'  Bible study, Luke in the Land. While the trip was an incredible experience, Kristi wrestled with the Lord behind the scenes especially when the events in Israel on October 7 took place. She recently shared with the team what God taught her through it all, and we knew this was a conversation we needed to record.

If God is asking you to put your yes on the table and walk in obedience, we hope this episode will encourage you to walk in surrender to a good, trustworthy God.

Welcome back to Season 3 of His Glory, Her Good!

What do you do when a table of girls are staring back at you with blank faces? How do you transition from a silly conversation to an intentional one without being awkward?  What does an invitation and response time look like for your student ministry?

It may feel minor, but becoming a good question asker can transform the way you answer those questions AND the way you lead in student ministry. When you are intentional with what questions you ask and how you ask them, you are creating a safe space for authenticity and vulnerability to cultivate.

We can't wait to hear what you think about this episode!

Why does rest often feel like an idea that seems just out of reach? We know God commands us to rest, but what does that actually look like when ministry and life feel all-consuming at times?

In our final episode of Season 2, you'll hear how we've struggled to know how to rest and the lies that have kept us from resting. Yet through this conversation, we'll recall the gift and joy found in resting in who God is and His completed work.

Whether dealing with our own shame or helping teen girls fight shame in their lives, this is a topic that can't be avoided when leading in student ministry. In this episode with Aunt P, we talk about how to know the difference between shame and conviction from the Holy Spirit. She also shares the danger of not dealing with our own shame, as well as provides tools to help our girls recognize, talk about, and fight shame.

It feels like we've been talking about Gen Z forever, but Gen Alpha is already in our youth ministries! What do we need to know about this generation that will help us lead and love them better?

Amy-Jo Girardier, girls minister champion and Lifeway Girls author, joined us for this episode to help answer that important question! We learned SO much and think you will too.

Our two favorite people in the world are on the podcast today! That's right, you get to meet our husbands on today's episode as we share what marriage in ministry has looked like for us up to this point!

It is a ton of fun and so beautiful to do ministry alongside your spouse. But it also can be messy and painful. We hope you will be encouraged as you hear our stories about how God has grown and refined us through marriage in ministry. There is still so much for us to learn, but we are incredibly grateful for where God has brought us.

Nothing says student ministry in February like a relationship series!

In a recent poll of girls ministers, over 60% responded as single (not engaged or married). But as two married gals hosting this podcast, we knew we aren't the experts to talk about being single in ministry. So we invited a dear friend and minister, Delaney Degelow, to share the good, bad, and often weird parts of being single in ministry.

We talk work boundaries, dating in ministry, and what people should NOT say to singles on church staff. It's such a fun, honest conversation and we learned a ton! So whether you're single or married, make sure to tune in before our next episode on marriage in ministry.

Delaney serves as the High School Ministry Associate at New Vision Baptist Church, and she has had the privilege of working in ministry since 2015. She thrives with high schoolers because she believes the word “yeet” is still cool and loves any opportunity to hang with the coolest people at New Vision. Delaney has a heart for fostering healthy, Christ-centered community — and desires for students to feel a part of something that is bigger than themselves. This 98% extroverted, Enneagram 3w2, loud and proud girl is forever thankful for the opportunity to love and lead high schoolers!

If you work in student ministry, it’s likely you work with the guys on your team. You may love it or have your struggles, depending on your team dynamic or current ministry season. Either way, we want to invite you (and those guys on your team) to listen in on this conversation where we talk about being partners in ministry with our BOSSES! 

It is such an encouraging and refreshing conversation from guys who lead the women well on their team (yet haven’t always gotten it right), as well as challenging us to view our relationships with our co-workers as a partnership for the kingdom. Oh, and make sure to listen to their answers for our final question. It might be our favorite ending to an episode yet!

Ben Trueblood (Amanda’s boss) serves as the Executive Director of Church Ministries at Lifeway, and Sheph Leonard (Corinne’s boss) serves as a Student Pastor at Long Hollow Church in Hendersonville, Tennessee.

We’d love to invite you and your team to join us at Youth Pastor Summit happening at FIVE different locations around the U.S. this Spring! We hope to see you there!
