Relational tension is common in youth ministry because we serve and work with imperfect people. However, having a healthy soul requires a response to opposition that aligns with the heart of Jesus. In this installment of The Youth Ministry Soul Keeper Podcast, James Sabin and guest co-host Eben Eddy discuss the importance of prayer when navigating difficult relationships.

In order to develop greater patience in our ministries, we need to ask more questions, and wonder more and assume less. We need to recognize that all who we are involved with have a backstory to be discovered and are worthy of our time to dig deeper into their lives. When we do this, we will discover that our patience and grace towards them grows.

Success in ministry can be a slippery slope because we have a tendency to believe that the success we may experience in ministry is directly related to our spiritual maturity or God's approval. Just think about some of the more widely known pastors who we have discovered were living secret lives even while their ministries were experiencing tremendous success. We usually think hardship is when we are most spiritually vulnerable to compromise, but it seems like scripture and experience point to success, comfort, and entitlement as the true danger to our souls. In this podcast, James talks about how the slippery slope of success can become more stable ground.

God has a significant plan for each of our lives, but the appearance-driven culture we live in often causes us to sacrifice the important on the altar of the impressive. In this installment of The Youth Ministry Soul Keeper Podcast, James Sabin and guest co-host Eben Eddy discuss how small actions are often what paves the way to a healthy soul and a fruitful ministry.

Because we live in a broken world, the pain and hurt we experience from others is unavoidable. With all pain and hurt, comes the potential for bitterness and hatred toward those who hurt us. In this episode, we talk about the real struggle with pain caused by others and how it has the potential to transform into hatred. A deep seated hatred that makes the command of Jesus to forgive others seemingly impossible. We will discover that unforgiveness toward others isn't the unforgivable sin, but it is the imprisonable sin and with Jesus' grace, we can forgive and be set free.

Helping our souls and students to navigate a culture that likes to take sides and defines and distinguishes between people using all sorts of measurables. God's love doesn't see sides; He sees sons and daughters. God's love doesn't see ideologies; He sees Image Bearers. God's love doesn't see labels: His love sees loss.

The title may sound gross, but we promise it has significance for your youth ministry. The more unhealthy we become internally, the more tempting it can be to separate ourselves from the messages we share with our students. Guest Co-host Eben Eddy and James Sabin challenge us to take a step back and ask the question, "Do I really believe what I am about to share with my students?" And If not, what we can do about it.

In this episode, we talk about how important confession is in our relationship with God and others. We talk about why confession can be so difficult at times and the "why" our students and leaders need to experience confession and the forgiveness that follows in our lives and ministries. We ultimately need to know that we can be confessors because God is a forgiver.

No one enjoys pain, but if we let it, pain can be a teacher. Talking about his own painful experience from ministerial burnout, James shares three things he learned from his pain that helped him heal and led him to greater spiritual wholeness. Learning from our own pain, will help us to better minister to students and their families in their seasons of pain.

Many times the Hardship and pain we experience in ministry and life feels like a dead end with no redemptive purpose in sight. Lessons learned through his own hardship and pain, James shares that God has a redemptive purpose through it all. There is hope in our hardship and pain.
