In this episode Justin sits down and chats with Derry Prenkert. With 20+ years serving at the same church, Derry has been able to craft a plethora of experiences and resources that help students and parents in their spiritual journey. It is because of this we wanted to hear some of the hacks he has learned thoughout the years to be in one place for so long. I don't know about you, but this is a personal goal of mine and we know youth workers do not have the best reputation for staying put. 
We hope this conversation can give you practical hacks on how to be in ministry for the long haul.

This is a mini-sode because Matthew is out traveling the world and Justin does not know how to do all the cool music-like things we normally have on the podcast. But since we didn't want to go too long without an episode here we have this awesome episode (Forgive us for the background noise, we were recording at the DYM 100 conference).
Soooooooo...
