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.

Most of us have an idea in our head of what spiritual intensity is. Usually, it involved things like reading the bible, fasting, praying, etc. What about community though? Surely, given the emphasis Christ placed on community, it must play a role in our spiritual intensity, right? This week, we're talking about exactly that.

Katie Roanhaus and Josh Baldwin talk about the importance of not only setting culture for the long haul, but setting the temperature for each experience. You're a thermostat, not a thermometer. You don't measure the temperature, you set it!

Being the most dedicated, best of the best type of leader, comes with some big advantages. That being said, it also presents some real traps we can fall into if we aren't careful. In this episode, Kaitlyn Caffrey and Josh Baldwin talk about how to cultivate empathy, humility, and influence. 

James Meehan and Josh Baldwin talk about God's role in our discipleship as students and adults. God is much more creative than we often trust him to be. If you ever find yourself feeling frustrated with students making poor decisions, or impatient with what feels like slow progress, this episode is one you'll want to hear.

Josh Baldwin and Luke Reynolds talk about some of the key differences that we experience in Switch between the two semesters, and how that could be an advantage to you! 

It's a new year and we're excited to share details with you about the upcoming Switch series. Listen as James Meehan and Josh Baldwin talk about content and the mission of Switch!

In Switch, we believe that students are not the leaders of tomorrow, they are the leaders of today. Kaitlyn Caffrey and Josh Baldwin talk about some things we can be doing as leaders to make sure our students believe that about themselves. 

This week James Meehan and Josh Baldwin talk through some real questions that parents are asking about Switch. Our hope is that this episode will help highlight some things parents feel out of the loop about, as well as things parents value in their relationship with Switch and with you. 

The Songs we listen to really do help shape who we become? They influence our language, our negative and positive thoughts, and sometimes they even influence our belief systems. For this new series, Switch Worship created a new song to match up with each of the topics over the 3 weeks, and to show our students just how much  influence the lyrics of a song can carry. 

Listen closely for the challenge we hope Switch Leader and Students will take!
