This raw, no-holding-back episode challenges the way we measure youth ministry success. Too often, we copy other people’s models—polished events, big stages, slick programmes—while missing the moments when God actually shows up. Blending insights from Doug Fields, Mark Yaconelli, Andrew Root, Alan Hirsch, Michael Frost, Tim Keller, and Andy Stanley, this is a call to ditch performance-driven ministry and rediscover presence, prayer, and Spirit-led leadership. You’ll hear the tension between attractional and missional approaches, why Gen Z can smell fake a mile away, and how to start small without losing heart. Packed with biblical moments where God interrupted the plan, this episode will inspire you to build something real, relational, and rooted in the Kingdom—whether you’ve got a youth group of fifty… or two.
