In this episode of The Longer Haul Youth Ministry Podcast, Jody shares a timely reminder for youth pastors heading into the busy fall season: you don’t have to choose between being faithful and being fried. This episode walks through practical strategies for creating a fall rhythm that fuels your ministry without burning you out.

What You’ll Learn:
  • Why busyness doesn’t always equal fruitfulness

  • How to re-center your calendar around purpose, not pressure

  • Weekly, monthly, and quarterly rhythm ideas for sustainable ministry

  • The value of protecting a weekly night off (and honoring it)

  • How to build in margin for rest—on purpose

  • The “delegate or delete” rule for avoiding leadership bottlenecks

  • Why your rhythm sets the culture for your ministry and your family

    Whether you’re feeling overloaded or just want to stay healthy long-term, this episode is packed with wisdom to help you lead intentionally—and avoid burnout.
