Welcome to the very first episode of Real Talk Youth Ministry with Josh & Kaleb! In this candid kickoff, we introduce ourselves, share our journeys into youth ministry, and talk about the ups, downs, and hilarious moments that come with discipling the next generation.
We’re not professionals—we’re in our 20s, boots-on-the-ground youth ministers learning as we go. This podcast is all about being real, offering encouragement, sharing practical tips, and building a community around one of the most impactful ministries in the church.
Whether you’re a youth minister, volunteer, parent, deacon, or just someone passionate about the next generation, this podcast is for YOU.
🔔 Subscribe and join us every week as we keep it real, get practical, and sometimes a little goofy—all for the sake of growing the Kingdom.
