In this podcast, we explore the notion that students are capable of more than we often give them credit for. By challenging them to reach higher standards and pushing them to do hard things, we can help them strengthen their faith and achieve more than they see in themselves. Join us as we discuss practical strategies and mindset shifts to support students in reaching their full potential. Remember leaders, for our students to get stronger, their leader has to be getting stronger first.

There’s more than one way to lead a small group, and this week we talk about one of the more successful strategies we’ve used over the years. Sometimes it’s important for you to be the drivers seat, and other times you need to give away the keys so someone else can learn to drive. This episode helps you determine when the time is right to give them away!

Check out this episode to get a clear overview of the next Switch series, and learn how you can best prepare!

Calling is fulfilling, but it's never going to be easy. If you've ever been through a challenging season, allow this conversation with Jennifer Gordon and Josh Baldwin to encourage you. You're not alone, it's not forever, and God is sure to keep showing up!

This week we're talking about preparation, how it affects us, and how doing so impacts our students.

If something truly matters to us, we should be prepared for it! 

This year Switch is serving up an Easter sandwich! One Easter service before Easter weekend and another one following Easter weekend. These messages will be presented in a really unique way, so make sure to listen as Josh Baldwin and James Meehan discuss the upcoming series. 

Josh talks with Youth Pastor, Dustin Wells, about the challenge of change, as well as the necessity of it. 

This week, Josh Baldwin talks with Jessica Waszak about the behavioral patterns of kids and teens. They discuss common reasons for different behaviors, what signs to look for, and how to help your students succeed in spite of what may appear to simply be poor behavior. There is always a reason for different behaviors, whether they're good or bad. Let's equip ourselves to understand those reasons and the underlying causes.

Josh Baldwin talks with Sam Groeschel about why giving and receiving grace is so important in youth ministry and in our faith. 

Sometimes in life things just don't go as planned, and sometimes in Switch things are a little like that too. If you're not just going to roll with the punches, but you're actually going to see every obstacle as a new opportunity, then you better know how to pivot! This week Josh Baldwin and Qualan Johnson talk about how spiritual discernment is often lived out through a well developed pivot from one approach to another.
