Jake and Tony are back again looking at the 9 Markers of a Healthy Youth Ministry! This week is part 2 of their discussion on Student Ownership. They had the chance to chat with Lead222’s own Toby Thomack and a Youth Leader of his, Kiara, about how this marker is key to their ministry! Grab a cup of coffee, steam some tea, and take a listen as they discuss Kiara’s student ownership journey, Toby’s student intern program, and Tony’s inability to eat an ice cream bar properly. Enjoy! 

Bo Challenge: 

• Pray that students would have a heart to own the ministry they are a part of! 

• If you already have student ownership happening, pray for them to continue growing in faith and their relationship with God!
